Differs Quotes
Differs is the word these quotes return to again and again when describing how experience varies from person to person. One reflection ties meaning itself to the individual moment, another notes how a particular conflict broke from prior patterns of war, and a further voice applies the idea directly to artistic practice.
Differs quotes highlight how meaning and experience shift depending on context and person. For a related philosophical theme, see Life quotes.

The poet is a specialist in something which everyone practises. Herein, poetry differs from the other arts. Everyone does not practise music or painting or even dancing, but everyone without exception puts together words poetically every day of his life.

Many self-help books give you these neat, tidy formulas that are really illusions. They dupe people into thinking, 'Well if I can just do that, then everything's going to be okay.' My work differs in that I don't offer quick solutions and simple explanations.
