Trying to use the power of yoga to improve your life, this is a terrible mistake. Because all you are doing is binding yourself more. You're putting more of your attention into the transient world. ~Frederick Lenz
#quotes #frederick-lenz #yoga #mistakes

I must go on living. And, though it may be childish of me, I can't go on in simple compliance. From now on I must struggle with the world. I thought that Mother might well be the last of those who can end their lives beautifully and sadly, struggling with no one, neither hating nor betraying anyone. In the world to come there will be no room for such people. The dying are beautiful, but to live, to survive; those things somehow seem hideous and contaminated with blood. ~Osamu Dazai

Feelings are determined by how one chooses to respond to various situations and events. ~Ralph Marston

There are no limits, only obstacles, and any obstacle can be overcome. ~David Belle

The way I look at it is that once you create a piece of art, and it's out in the world, there's nothing you can do about it. People can use it the way they want to. There's nothing you can do about it. All you can hope for is that people that are using it are using it with the best intent. ~David Lloyd

For me, prose walks, poetry dances. ~James Broughton

The path to inspiration starts upon the trails we've known; each stumbling block is not a rock, but just a stepping stone. ~Charles Ghigna
#quotes #charles-ghigna #inspiration

I think inspiration is always around; it is just a question of whether or not you are noticing it. ~John Green
#quotes #john-green #inspiration

Most modern Indians don't stick to their caste jobs any more. There is more inter-caste marriage, more fluidity, more freedom than ever before. But the outcastes are usually still outcastes, because they are still the ones who tan India's animals, burn its dead, and remove its excrement. ~Rose George

You cannot build character and courage by taking away a man's initiative and independence. ~William J. H. Boetcker

Once I began doing stand-up, I didn't get a kick out of the applause or being the centre of attention; but I did get a kick out of the jigsaw puzzle aspect of it, searching for the right bit, adding another few pieces each night until the bigger picture appears. That's the appeal: the challenge of it. ~Stephen Merchant
#quotes #stephen-merchant #comedy #attention

The past has been a mint of blood and sorrow. That must not be true of tomorrow. ~Langston Hughes
#quotes #langston-hughes #optimism

I'm 31 now. I think I'm beginning to understand what life is, what romance is, and what a relationship means. ~Adam Sandler
#quotes #adam-sandler #relationship

I need to be in a stable environment right now in my career. What I mean by that is a place where I can play and not have too much pressure on me and a place I can develop. Monaco wanted me and did whatever they could to get me so I feel very very good about that. ~Freddy Adu
#quotes #freddy-adu #environment #career #monaco

And sometimes you lie to me and sometimes I lie to you; and there isn't a thing you could possibly do All these half-destroyed lives aren't as bad as they seem but now I see blood and I hear screams then I wake up and it's just a bad dream. ~Michael Grant
