The best aspects of every vampire, with all of their gifts, what makes them really special is just an enhanced version of what they were when they were human.
When you're babysitting a kid, all you're seeing is a version of them, a small dosage.
I don't censor myself, but I don't want to force my sick-skewed version of the world, either.
I would struggle to write for just my own voice as it would be pretty limiting on what my tracks are capable of sounding like, so being open to collaboration is crucial for what I do. The best thing is simple: just getting the finished version of a track that sounds incredible, from when it was just a melody in my head. Seeing that executed is sick. There's not really too much downside as I write by myself so I'm only sharing the part I'm comfortable sharing. It's all good.
Yes, Manila had its slums; one saw them on the drive from the airport: vast districts of men in dirty white undershirts lounging idly in front of auto-repair shops - like a poorer version of the 1950s America depicted in such films as Grease.
The do-it-yourself version of pensions is a flop, as many Americans have painfully learned.
I showed myself a lesser version of myself that night, and I’m glad I learned from it.
In my own version of the idea of 'what art wants,' the end and fulfillment of the history of art is the philosophical understanding of what art is, an understanding that is achieved in the way that understanding in each of our lives is achieved, namely, from the mistakes we make, the false paths we follow, the false images we have come to abandon until we learn wherein our limits consist, and then how to live within those limits.
I wrote myself back together. I wrote myself toward a stronger version of myself. . . Through writing and feminism, I also found that if I was a little bit brave, another woman might hear me and see me and recognize that none of us are the nothing the world tries to tell us we are.
I felt like - like I don't know what. Like this wasn't real. Like I was in some Goth version of a bad sitcom. Instead of being the AV dweeb about to ask the head cheerleader to the prom, I was the finished-second-place werewolf about to ask the vampire's wife to shack up and procreate. Nice. - Jacob
I was provided with additional input that was radically different from the truth. I assisted in furthering that version.
If you are with the right person, it brings out the best version of you.
Everything is a version of something else.
The heart is an artist that paints over what profoundly disturbs it, leaving on the canvas a less dark, less sharp version of the truth.
I don't think I've ever seen a piece of commercial software where the next version is simpler rather than more complex.
The first version of everything is janky.
Some of the best advice I was given was that me doing a bad version of me is better than me doing a good version of someone else.
We have to create conditions where people feel safe to feel and to care. That goes against a lot of our programming about how to make something change in the world. Sometimes you can pressure people into changing, you can force them, but the powers-that-be have more force than we do. I don't think we're going to win in a contest of force. I think we need to induce a change of heart. The narrative of "us versus them" is ultimately part of the problem. Traditional activism, which is about overcoming the latest bad guy, isn't deep enough. It just brings us another version of the same.
You don't have to go out there and fit the mold of what a quarterback is supposed to be. Make your own mold and do the best at each role. If you can run with the best and throw with the best, you can be the best quarterback in your own version of the position.
The ubiquitous term "anti-aging" has become meaningless. Women today want to look like a more revitalized version of themselves.
