Loren Weisman Quotes

#1. The most devastating thing artists can do to their career is get in their own way, and way too many people do. It's not the labels, the industry, the fans, the cities, the economy, the social media, the marketing, the promoting, the 'right time,' the music, or whatever other excuse you can come up with that determines whether you succeed or you fail. It is you, no one else, #Quote by Loren Weisman

#2. While working with different people in different cities with very different viewpoints, I noticed one very similar theme: The people who blamed everything and everybody else for their lack of success tended to continue to have a lack of success. #Quote by Loren Weisman

#3. You can do something nice without posting it on social media.

Give with heart.
Share with authenticity.
And help without the spotlight.

It gets old fast with so many bragging, marketing and showcasing how giving they are. It also creates the perception that these individuals are doing this for their own promotion, marketing, and visibility, over genuinely trying to help another.

There is something beautiful in giving a gift and just doing it to do it and not doing it to brag.

The real honor of a person shines through so much brighter when they are not bragging about how much they do, how much they give and how much they care. #Quote by Loren Weisman

#5. An add is not an introduction.

Neither is a like, a share, a comment or a follow.

Engage online like you would in person. #Quote by Loren Weisman

I'm more concerned with how hard you can work and how much time and effort you can dedicate to a project when everything is going wrong.
That's a rarity and shows true honor, true character and will lead you that much closer to success. #Quote by Loren Weisman

Your dreams deserve more. #Quote by Loren Weisman

#20. An effective content strategy has to mix your authenticity, your story & your authority mixed with the shares of other peoples content.

If you're only sharing other peoples stories, authority, authenticity & brands, how does that make any new or old visitors want to connect with yours?

And, only reposting without sharing why you chose to share it & what your thoughts are on that content creates zero connection to you and for you. #Quote by Loren Weisman

Start building an authentic connection rooted in endurance and engagement. #Quote by Loren Weisman

Fiction does not become fact because it looks good.
Fiction does not become fact because you wish it were true.
Fiction does not become fact because it has turned into popular opinion.

Remember this before reading the news, views, opinions or commentary. #Quote by Loren Weisman

#25. Try holding yourself accountable to yourself. If you had to give yourself a daily, weekly, or monthly report, would you be proud to talk about what you had done, or would you need to be prettying up things, bullshitting, or lying to keep your job? #Quote by Loren Weisman

Why should anyone think you are any different than everyone else? #Quote by Loren Weisman

The best-laid studio planning will save you the most money and greatly reduce stress. #Quote by Loren Weisman

#41. Waiting to be discovered, hoping to be seen, wishing someone else would do the work, wanting to make it big while dreaming of being rich and famous just like your heroes is submissive, passive, foolish, weak, and ineffective.

#42. If your dream is all about winning an ‪#oscar‬, a ‪grammy‬, an ‪#emmy‬, or another award, give up and quit now!
Why dream for accolades, awards, recognition or celebrity status?
Dream to learn, achieve, grow, sustain and succeed.
You will be a happier person in life over trying to define your success or your dream by what others think of you. #Quote by Loren Weisman

#48. All the shine of a thousand spotlights
All the stars we steal from the night sky
Will never be enough, never be enough
Towers of gold are still too little
These hands could hold the world but it'll
Never be enough, never be enough
For me. #Quote by Benj Pasek And Justin Paul

#50. Ah, group projects. Some people love 'em, some people hate 'em - okay, most people hate 'em.

#53. Science can be
and is
used by good men, but in its present sense it can scarcely be said to create them. Science, of course, in discovery represents the individual, but in the moment of triumph, science creates uniformity through which the mind of the individual once more flees away ... Man inhabits a realm half in and half out of nature, his mind reaching forever beyond the tool, the uniformity, the law, into some realm which is that of mind alone. #Quote by Loren Eiseley

#54. God has blessed me with an amazing family, friends and work colleagues that have been my joy, my support, and my sanity. I don't know what I'd do without them. #Quote by Josie Loren

#58. Black magic, the magic of the primeval chaos, blots out or transmogrifies the true form of things. At the stroke of twelve the princess must flee the banquet or risk discovery in the rags of a kitchen wench; coach reverts to pumpkin. Instability lies at the heart of the world. With uncanny foresight folklore has long toyed symbolically with what the nineteenth century was to proclaim a reality - namely, that form is an illusion of the time dimension, that the magic flight of the pursued hero or heroine through frogskin and wolf coat has been, and will continue to be, the flight of all men. #Quote by Loren Eiseley

#59. I'm 24, so I'll go out and, yeah, have a few drinks and dance - I love to dance - and have a good time, but I like to do other things, too. I like going to the beach and reading and hiking. #Quote by Josie Loren

#65. The best way to be resurrected is to be forgotten. #Quote by Loren Eiseley

#66. Every day is a gift, even the dark ones. #Quote by J. Loren Wince

#67. Oh my! Did you see him?' Exie stops abruptly and turns to watch a man who smiles at her. ' Ooh yeah, he is fine.'
'You're not going to stop to talk to him?'
'Why ruin what we have by getting to know him?' She said with a wink. #Quote by Jennifer Loren

#68. Before artificial nitrogen fertilizer became widely available, the world's population was around 2 billion. When we no longer have it - or if we ever decide to stop using it - that may be the number to which our own naturally gravitates. #Quote by Alan Weisman

#69. And as I walk round the park I always think, 'Maybe round the corner I am going to find something beautiful.' I always think positively. It is very rare that you find me in a mood that is sad or melancholic, #Quote by Sophia Loren

#70. People say exactly what they mean when they are angry. That's when they are the most free to do so. They may not mean to hurt you, but they always mean what they say. #Quote by Jennifer Loren

#71. There may be a day when you find yourself standing at the precipice, looking down into the abyss of hopelessness and waiting, pleading, begging for someone who has been in this place before to come alongside you and show you the way back to hope. #Quote by J. Loren Norris

#72. I pegged him as the kind of jock that has a thing for smart girls.

#75. Loren was the air I needed to breathe; her words were the bricks that kept me pieced together. Her body was the temple where I wanted to worship. I didn't know if I believed in God and eternity but, with her, I felt like I was knocking on heaven's gates.
- Andrew, High School Lover #Quote by Rose Croft

#76. When we're down to eating our ancestors," she asked, "what is left? #Quote by Alan Weisman

#77. In my freshman and sophomore years of college, I read dozens of books by the great thinkers of Western civilization. From Plato to Nietzsche, Homer to Shakespeare - you name it, I read it. At times it drove me crazy - picture reading hundreds of pages that sound like this every week: "All rational knowledge is either material and concerned with some object, or formal and concerned only with the form of understanding and of reason themselves and with the universal rules of thought in general without regard to differences of its objects." Come again, Kant? #Quote by Stefanie Weisman

#78. Magical obsession is the experience of radical curiosity and wonderment much like the consciousness of a child at Disneyland. It's a state of awareness that presents abnormal, spontaneous opportunities, effortlessly. It is the experience of your wish being the universes desire. #Quote by Christopher Zzenn Loren

#83. Do you need us to get you anything, sweetie?" Kincaid asked, sitting on the opposite side of the bed from Finn. "Water? A pill? A former football player in his underwear? Because we've got the last one covered. And I can make the first two happen."

Liv looked up at that, registering the fact that Finn was shirtless and his thick hair was sticking up every which way. Her gaze drifted down to his black boxer briefs. "You're in your underwear."

"'Fraid so," he said. "Good thing I don't sleep naked. #Quote by Roni Loren

#84. Put your dreams on the altar. They will be resurrected into something even grander. #Quote by Loren Cunningham

#85. [On common water.] Its substance reaches everywhere; it touches the past and prepares the future; it moves under the poles and wanders thinly in the heights of air. It can assume forms of exquisite perfection in a snowflake, or strip the living to a single shining bone cast up by the sea. #Quote by Loren Eiseley
