One is creating a feeling that when you're inside a book, you believe everything you're reading even when you know it's not true.

It is my hope that this devotion to Jesus in the Eucharist will spread to more and more parishes and dioceses across our nation.

But that was the stuff I was attracted to.

Jodie FosterMy parents said I'd always been attracted to music from an early age. The classic story is I started singing before I talked.

The words would be all garbled, because I didn't know how to talk yet.

When you meet a woman, you subconsciously look for cues that she's the kind os person you should be with. That's assumption. If she passes the assumption test, you begin to get to know her to find out if she's appropriate for you. If she is, you're attracted. If, as you get to know her, the attraction is reinforced with joy or pain or both, you'll fall into infatuation. And if you manage to make a connection and attach to each other during infatuation, you'll move into mature, unconditional love.

If it doesn't work out, that's fine. If it does, terrific. Either way, I lose nothing for trying."

WileyWe can begin a discussion of artmaking by noting that from very early (as long ago as 200,000 years), humans have been naturally attracted to the extraordinary as a dimension of experience and that at some point they seem also to have been moved to make the ordinary extraordinary-that is, to shape or elaborate everyday, mundane reality and thereby transform it into something special, different from the everyday.
