Distraction Quotes

While this may seem peculiar, the combo of work and distraction leads to levels of innovation not often generated by structured, focused thinking alone Picture Quote #1

Our normal human tendencies are distraction and dissipation. We begin one task, then get seduced by some other option, and lose our focus. We drift away from what is difficult and we know to be true, to what is comfortable and socially condoned Picture Quote #1

Is this level of athletic competition the ultimate distraction from real life? Or is it a form of prayer? Picture Quote #1

Let us imagine, for example, that a mother is still in such a state of consciousness that she has forgotten the rest of the world while discovering her baby; suddenly somebody appears with two clamps and a pair of scissors in order to cut the cord. This distraction is a dangerous interference with the physiological processes Picture Quote #1

Game, noun: Any unserious occupation designed for the relaxation of busy people and the distraction of idle ones. It’s used to take people to whom we have nothing to say off our hands, and sometimes even ourselves Picture Quote #1

One of the problems we have is that we cannot just be content to admire and enjoy, we have to possess and feel we own what we see. That can become for many of us an addiction which adds a complication to our life and takes away our peace of mind. Craving things becomes after a while a serious distraction and an obsession Picture Quote #1

Australia’s is a special kind of philistinism, an immovable materialism which puts art and ideas of any kind deliberately and firmly to one side to let the serious business of living proceed without distraction Picture Quote #1

I possess the greatest power ever bestowed upon mankind, the power of choice. Today, I choose to persist without exception. No longer will I live in a dimension of distraction, my focus blown hither and yon like a leaf on a blustery day. I know the outcome I desire. I hold fast to my dreams. I stay the course. I do not quit Picture Quote #1

In an age of speed, I began to think nothing could be more exhilarating than going slow. In an age of distraction, nothing can feel more luxurious than paying attention. And in an age of constant movement, nothing is more urgent than sitting still Picture Quote #1

How extraordinary it is to be here at all. Awareness of death can jolt us awake to the sensuality of existence. Breath is no longer a routine inhalation of air but a quivering intake of life. The eye is quickened to the play of light and shade and color, the ear to the intricate medley of sound. This is where the meditation leads. Stay with it; rest with it. Notice how distraction is a flight from this, an escape from awe to worry and plans Picture Quote #1

I don’t want this to be a distraction. This has been distracting enough. I’m not going to rehash this going forward. I’m sure other people are going to have questions about it, but we’ve got a big season coming up Picture Quote #1

You get a sense of reference there. You feel part of something that’s got order and balance and harmony to it. All the distraction and noise, all the confusion of misplaced, misdirected energy just don’t happen there Picture Quote #1

Radio is such a perfect medium for the transmission of poetry, primarily because there just is the voice, there’s no visual distraction Picture Quote #1

I carried this problem around in my head basically the whole time. I would wake up with it first thing in the morning, I would be thinking about it all day, and I would be thinking about it when I went to sleep. Without distraction I would have the same thing going round and round in my mind Picture Quote #1

Even the rich aren’t often happy. Their wealth is at best only a temporary distraction. It doesn’t make them immune to emotional and mental suffering, or to disease and death. They too must deal with loneliness, the deaths of loved ones and the frustrations and boredom of old age Picture Quote #1

We go to the movies to forget about time, to be in a dream state. And it’s entertainment, distraction, from the fact that everything is kind of crumbling in front of our eyes Picture Quote #1

Are you trivialising the sisterhood if you dye your hair or have your eyebrows threaded? I’d say the answer to that is no. But equally, it’s a perfectly valid feminist thing to say there is a certain amount of attention on a woman’s appearance, and I don’t wish that to be the focus or a distraction Picture Quote #1

If you can become a mirror you have become a meditator. Meditation is nothing but skill in mirroring. And now, no word moves inside you so there is no distraction Picture Quote #1

The moment of drifting into thought has been so clipped by modern technology. Our lives are filled with distraction with smartphones and all the rest. People are so locked into not being present Picture Quote #1

Art is not an amusement, nor a distraction, nor is it, as many men maintain, an escape from life. On the contrary, it is a high training of the soul, essential to the soul’s growth, to its unfoldment Picture Quote #1

The relative ease of most driving lures us into thinking we can get away with doing other things. Indeed, those other things, like listening to the radio, can help when driving itself is threatening to cause fatigue. But we buy into the myth of multitasking with little actual knowledge of how much we can really add in or, as with the television news, how much we are missing. As the inner life of the driver begins to come into focus, it is becoming clear not only that distraction is the single biggest problem on the road but that we have little concept of just how distracted we are Picture Quote #1

Distraction and procrastination come in a variety of flavors... when I’m distracted and I walk over and stare out the window, it’s a very different experience than when I feed the distraction by cramming in a few emails or make a phone call Picture Quote #1

To drink for pleasure may be a distraction, but to drink from misery is always a danger Picture Quote #1

All my life, since the time I was little, has been a long distraction. At least that is the way some people want to perceive it, but for me, it’s given me a lot of strength Picture Quote #1

Playing live is a lost art, and you don’t see a lot of bands that go out and play the way the older bands do. It’s a celebration, and a lot of people treat it like a commercial or a distraction Picture Quote #1

The process of making films is so technically demanding that it’s a distraction. You don’t spend your time thinking about the philosophical content, which is often very depressing Picture Quote #1

I presume my work has also always been about reduction without any distraction or after effects, outside emotions, or intimacy or complicity with the subject Picture Quote #1

I’m painting so much that I don’t listen to much music. Because music is another creative outlet, it’s a huge distraction for me when I paint Picture Quote #1

For the most part we allow only outlying and transient circumstances to make our occasions. They are, in fact, the cause of our distraction Picture Quote #1

Some opportunities are a calling. Others are a distraction. Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should Picture Quote #1
