When I sat down to write I just felt like a geek writing about myself. And then it dawned on me, just because of the way I am, I can’t stop talking, and part of the problem is that anything that gets said reminds me of something that happened to me one time, and invariably I cut people off and talk about myself.
With poets, the choice of words is invariably more telling than the story line; that’s why the best of them dread the thought of their biographies being written.
It’s a universal truth that no parent wishes to acknowledge that the fear and phobias we are in thrall to in adulthood almost invariably connect back to childhood experiences.
It’s that stubborn fixation on details that has invariably prevented me from getting excited about celebrating each passing year. Which is why my friends know that doing things such as throwing me surprise parties would only serve to surprise me with an overwhelming sense of panic and anxiety.
Falsehood is invariably the child of fear in one form or another.
It’s no small irony that the government inevitably and invariably ends up promoting precisely that which they would most like to repress.
There is no such thing as a bad cop, only disturbing and dominant cop thinking that will invariably lead to excessive force and tragic outcomes.
Fantasy-based ideologies invariably have neat happy endings where all the bad people and all the bad behavior goes away when the volume is turned up and enough force is applied.
I think it will be found that experience, the true source and foundation of all knowledge, invariably confirms its truth.
For me, writing, drawing, and political activism are three separate pursuits; each has its own intensity. I happen to be especially attuned to and engaged with the society in which I live. Both my writing and my drawing are invariably mixed up with politics, whether I want them to be or not.
At every turn, when humanity is asked the question, ‘Do you want temporary economic gain or long-term environmental loss, which one do you prefer,’ we invariably choose the money.
Incompetents invariably make trouble for people other than themselves.
I think a lot of times, especially for certain stories, photographers travel together for safety reasons, and they also invariably cross paths. But you could have 10 photographers shooting together in the same spot but capturing different images.
I invariably do some of my best thinking on Saturdays.
Shyness is invariably a suppression of something. It’s almost a fear of what you’re capable of.
Sick children, if not too shy to speak, will always express this wish. They invariably prefer a story to be told to them, rather than read to them.
I am invariably late for appointments – sometimes as much as two hours. I’ve tried to change my ways but the things that make me late are too strong, and too pleasing.
The first time I try anything is invariably not very successful. I tend to grow slowly, but solidly.
Beauty of whatever kind, in its supreme development, invariably excites the sensitive soul to tears.
Progress is not an illusion, it happens, but it is slow and invariably disappointing.
I’ve seen the people who talk about their love lives in print invariably have doomed relationships with the person they’re talking about.
Champions invariably have fervent philosophical beliefs. Philosophy, in its simplest terms, means ‘the love of wisdom.’
Also note that invariably when we design something that can be used by those with disabilities, we often make it better for everyone.
But the trouble is that when you drink it, you invariably meet other people drinking it.
When politicians seek to restrict political speech, it is invariably to protect their own incumbency and avoid having to defend their policies in the marketplace of ideas.
I don’t go to any of the big Academy parties while the show is on because, invariably, it turns to people watching me watch the host, and it’s not comfortable. I watch at home and hope the show gets to be really good.
