You will be blinded and make mistakes especially when you are disparate, so I guess it never really was about the money. - James Jean-Pierre
Writing is really a way of thinking--not just feeling but thinking about things that are disparate, unresolved, mysterious, problematic or just sweet. - Toni Morrison
Life is full of disparate details arbitrarily joined together by dreams, pain and yearning. I do not long for sense, but I call for emotion and imagination amidst this chaos. - Juhani Peltonen
