When there is no thought, the kundalini rises. When you create a vacuum, something will be drawn into it. The less thought you have, the more kundalini will flow through the chakras, the shushumna. ~Frederick Lenz

All men naturally desire knowledge. An indication of this is our esteem for the senses; for apart from their use we esteem them for their own sake, and most of all the sense of sight. Not only with a view to action, but even when no action is contemplated, we prefer sight, generally speaking, to all the other senses. The reason of this is that of all the senses sight best helps us to know things, and reveals many distinctions. ~Aristotle

You have to be a model and multifaceted, but there's not a lot of ways for a model to be multifaceted because the actresses took all the covers. ~Kim Alexis

I like acting and things when I like the writing. If I don't like the writing, I don't like acting. I think in some ways everything starts for me from the place of writing. ~Greta Gerwig

Brancusi made me realise that what I had learned previously, the quick ways of doing things, was all wrong. It is a search you have to enter, into yourself. ~Isamu Noguchi

I would say you have an ethical obligation to pay the taxes that you owe, but you don't have an ethical obligation to pay taxes that you do not owe. In fact, you should be seeking ways to legally minimise your taxes. ~John Mackey

In some ways it's taken me decades to come clean and make honest work; and still to this day, sometimes I find myself wanting to hide behind my work and deny the more biographical aspects. ~David Knopfler

Atrial fibrillation can be taken care of. The point is that it is manageable. Everybody is different and will have different ways of managing whatever they need, and their doctor will have ways of managing theirs. But I think the first key is just to know it exists, know whether you have it, and know what the risks are and take care of yourself! ~Howie Mandel

Do not look where you fell, but where you slipped. ~Chinese Proverb
#proverbs #chinese-proverbs

I have been, or seemed, hard with everyone because I was carried away by a sort of brutality born of my distrust in myself and my ill-humor. I have felt so badly equipped, so soft, in spite of the fact that my attitude towards art seemed to me so just. I was disgusted with everyone, and especially myself. ~Edgar Degas
#quotes #edgar-degas #art #attitude

How much money you get, depends on lots of extraneous things. It depends on how good you are at turning poetry into a marketable product, which is something it was never supposed to be. That's why many people suppose that the better the poet you are the lower your income should be, and that's probably true. ~Robert Bringhurst

I watched her for a long time, memorizing her shoulders, her long-legged gait. This was how girls left. They packed up their suitcases and walked away in high heels. They pretended they weren't crying, that it wasn't the worst day of their lives. That they didn't want their mothers to come running after them, begging their forgiveness, that they wouldn't have gone down on their knees and thanked god if they could stay. ~Janet Fitch
