Jerome Groopman

I often find myself listening to the 'Shipping Forecast' on Radio 4. At first, I am usually wondering what time it is, but then, because often I'm on the other side of the bed and I can't be bothered to turn it off, I just listen and it becomes very relaxing.

You don't need to know this - but here goes: due to some acquired infantilism, I feel compelled to fall asleep listening to the radio. On a good night, I'll push the frail barque of my psyche off into the waters of Lethe accompanied by the midnight newsreader - on a bad one, it's the shipping forecast.

Alejandro Jodorowsky

Winston Churchill

Mindful choosing of friends and lovers, not to mention teachers, is critical to remaining conscious, remaining intuitive, remaining in charge of the fiery light that sees and knows.

Clarissa Pinkola Estes

I read a book called 'Transatlantic', which is a history of the great shipping lines. Also, of course, I had read about the Titanic and saw Leo drowning at the end of the 'Titanic' movie and all that stuff.

Erik Larson
