The integration of the simpler and the deeper reading processes is not automatic and requires years of learning by the novice reader, as well as extra milliseconds for any expert to read a more sophisticated text.
When I write, I tend to read it out loud to myself after. I’m a very uncomfortable reader, so it creates a distance between the text and me – it is a new way to see it.
The original text of New York is all below Chambers Street.
What I can’t tell with a photo I will tell with a painting, and what I can’t tell with a painting I will tell with a video or text sometimes, et cetera.
You sit there, and you argue and you argue, and you sort of bully the hell out of the text until you’re quite sure what it’s revealing, and then you perform it.

I have no problem selling books to media franchises and we do it all the time. The author must understand that he/she is a writer for hire and has no control over copyright or over editorial changes made to the text.
A text may be superbly written, exquisitely subtle, deeply meaningful, but still seem like a luxury extra, something we add to the already well-stocked store of our reading experience.
The great folk hymns are a perfect marriage of text and tune. There are those that have nice messages and some with good music, but it is such a bonus when they are both wonderful.

Just as a fossil is ‘petrified time,’ so is an ancient artifact or text.
In 2018, nothing is sacred. Everyone is everywhere and knows everybody. I don’t text too personal because somebody might screenshot it and share it.
The selfie makes us accustomed to putting ourselves and those around us ‘on pause’ in order to document our lives. It is an extension of how we have learned to put our conversations ‘on pause’ when we send or receive a text, an image, an email, a call.
Email is not the simple exchange of text messages. Email is the electronic version of the interoffice mail system used for formal letter or memo communication.
Every day, three times per second, we produce the equivalent of the amount of data that the Library of Congress has in its entire print collection, right? But most of it is like cat videos on YouTube or 13-year-olds exchanging text messages about the next Twilight movie.
When I’m writing the text for a book like ‘Little White Rabbit,’ I read it aloud, alone, in my studio, again and again and again – because the rhythm has to be exactly right. After I get my manuscript to the point where I think it is perfect, I begin to think about what I want the art to look like.
My writing is not just all facts and voices. I strive to create a text that works as a sign, pointing out undercurrents that lie beneath the facts.
Acting is just a process of relaxation, actually. Knowing the text so well and trusting that the instinct and the subconscious mind, whatever you want to call it, is going to take over.
I tend to learn things physically – I guess it’s my dance training. I never want to make too many choices too soon – so, while I am thinking about the character and thinking about her history, which is very vague in terms of what is given in the text, I am starting to have ideas about what her home is.
I have an iPhone, and I can text, and I can use the phone, and I can even take pictures with it.
If we talk about ‘Groundhog Day’ as a humanistic text – we only have one life, and there’s no punishment or reward afterwards – then the wisdom is, just be kind because that will make you happy and the people around you happy.
In Count Julian I simply proposed to create a text which would allow for diverse levels of reading.
The primary goal of the so-called nonfiction text is to relay the facts of an event – the facts about a person, the facts of history – which is not why I turned to this genre.
Every status update you read on Facebook, every tweet or text message you get from a friend, is competing for resources in your brain with important things like whether to put your savings in stocks or bonds, where you left your passport, or how best to reconcile with a close friend you just had an argument with.
When I preaches, I has just one text to preach from, an’ I always preaches from this one. My text is, ‘When I found Jesus.’
As a general rule, I wouldn’t put anything in a text or e-mail or on social media that I wouldn’t want the whole world to see.
I can say with a level of confidence that Islam is not a religion of war, only because the majority of Muslims don’t subscribe to that perspective, not because there’s something inherent in the text that tells me it’s a religion of peace.
I’ve never sent an email in my life. My kids laugh. I often hand the phone to them and say, ‘Can you text this message to somebody.’ I don’t even have a computer on my desk.
Visual storytelling combines the narrative text of a story with creative elements to augment and enhance the traditional storytelling process. By design, it is a co-creative process resulting in an intimate, interpretive, expressive technique.
Everything on mobile seems a lot quicker. You have direct access to each individual fan, and they can respond to you just as quickly as you sent a text message.
If I wasn’t serving in Congress, I’ve always wanted to be a high school teacher. Specifically, I want to teach a course on modern American history and use Garry Trudeau’s Doonesbury as a primary text.

How you carry a story in pictures is different than how you do it in text.
I write by hand and then transfer the text onto the computer. I like the process of actually having a pen in my hand. Things flow more easily for me that way.
The funniest thing a man has ever said to me… I once recieved a text message that said, ‘Fancy a cuddle-slash-wrestle?’ It’s just so awful Obviously I didn’t reply.
I’m one of those people who writes out words. All of my text messages? You can read them. Everyone would know what I’m trying to say. My sister will say ‘BTW.’ Do you mean ‘by the way’? Is that what you’re trying to say?
I’m equally guilty of using technology – I Twitter, I text people, I chat. But I think there’s something strangely insidious about it that it makes us think we’re closer when in fact we’re not seeing each other, we’re not connecting.
I made a couple of friends when I was a teenager who said I was funny. I used to send them very long texts; it was on a Nokia and always exceeding the text limit. But if I was making jokes in a group nobody was listening.
A lot of my work is about text taken to the point of abstraction.
There is some argument about who actually invented text messaging, but I think it’s safe to say it was a man. Multiple studies have shown that the average man uses about half as many words per day as women, thus text messaging. It eliminates hellos and goodbyes and cuts right to the chase.
I don’t text, I don’t have a Blackberry. Literally, I just have a cell phone that I haven’t programmed and the whole Bluetooth. No. I don’t even have an earpiece for my cell phone.
People still text me to say that there is something about me in the paper, and what really annoys me is that if it’s nasty, I then have to go and have a look, even though actually I don’t want to know.
I see people putting text messages on the phone or computer and I think, ‘Why don’t you just call?’
British acting is undoubtedly based in text, and American acting relies more on behavior. That’s speaking very generally.
I very seldom compose anything in my head which later finds its way into text, except character names sometimes – I’m often very much inspired by things that I misunderstand.

I send a text every day to my partner Cath, saying ‘I love you.’
I get real brave when I text people. When I text people, I am so brave because it’s words, but you can’t say stuff.
I spend a huge amount of time writing about the book instead of writing the actual text.
I respect the fact that a director has studied the text and the road map of work before us, the subtleties, interconnections, underpinnings… His job is to paint the entire picture and knows all the colors that have to be in it.
Technology is transforming how we hold ourselves, contorting our bodies into what the New Zealand physiotherapist Steve August calls the ‘iHunch.’ I’ve also heard people call it ‘text neck,’ and in my work, I sometimes refer to it as ‘iPosture.’
The movie ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll High School’ was a sacred text in my household.
A text of Tibetan Buddhism describes the time of death as a unique opportunity for spiritual liberation from the cycles of death and rebirth and a period that determines our next incarnation.
