Text Quotes
With a secret smile, not unlike that of a healthy child,he walked along, peacefully, quietly. He wore his gown and walked along exactly like the other monks, but his face and his step, his peaceful downward glance, his peaceful downward-hanging hand, and every finger of his hand spoke of peace, spoke of completeness, sought nothing, imitated nothing, reflected a continuous quiet, an unfading light, an invulnerable peace. (Downward Quotes)

One of my favorite workouts to do with my girlfriends is yoga. We are equally impatient with our yoga.

(Downward Quotes)

Since social media has become so big, body image has taken a downward spiral. Especially in surfing, because we’re in bikinis all day, we’re really critiqued. After a competition, social media will just be talking about who looked better in a bikini instead of who surfed better. It’s not even about the results anymore, so much is body. And that’s really frustrating at times. (Downward Quotes)
When you allow circumstances beyond your control to determine your attitude and actions, you risk plunging into a downward spiral of hasty decisions and faulty judgments, to overreacting, giving up too soon, and missing those opportunities that always - always - appear just when you think life will never get better. (Downward Quotes)
The only perfect circle on the human body is the eye. When a baby is born it’s so perfect, but when it opens its eyes it’s just blinded by the corruption and everything else is a downward spiral. (Downward Quotes)
There are many, many communities, many ethnic minorities, many civilizations that have been brutalised by others and you have to move on. You cannot perpetually stay in that place of blame, otherwise it’s just a downward spiral. (Downward Quotes)
One key factor in the downward spiral in our educational system is that there is too much stroking and too little real feedback. (Downward Quotes)
I think my music’s more disturbing than Tupac’s - or at least I thought some of the themes of ‘The Downward Spiral’ were more disturbing on a deeper level - you know, issues about suicide and hating yourself and God and people and everything else. (Downward Quotes)
The people turn in allegiance to Humanity, as surely as water flows downward or as a wild animal takes cover in the wilderness (Downward Quotes)
Where fashion in clothes, bodily adornment, and music are concerned, it is the underclass that increasingly sets the pace. Never before has there been so much downward cultural aspiration. (Downward Quotes)
After a long period in which the desired direction for inflation was always downward, the industrialized world’s central banks must today try to avoid major changes in the inflation rate in either direction. (Downward Quotes)
Downward Spiral’ felt like I had an unending bottomless pit of rage and self-loathing inside me and I had to somehow challenge something or I’d explode. I thought I could get through by putting everything into my music, standing in front of an audience and screaming emotions at them from my guts. (Downward Quotes)
The human heart may find here and there a resting-place short of the highest height of affection, but we seldom stop in the steep, downward slope of hatred. (Downward Quotes)
Being against other people’s policies eventually puts you in a downward spiral. It’s fine to be principled and oppose views that you don’t agree with, but you also have to have an alternative. (Downward Quotes)
Short term, the most important thing is to put people back to work ... If they’re working, that means they’re paying taxes, that means that they’re buying goods and services - and the economy, instead of being on a downward spiral, starts back up on an upward spiral. (Downward Quotes)
The subjectivization of the universal in art brings the universal downward on one hand, while on the other it helps raise the individual toward the universal. (Downward Quotes)

I have an addictive personality. Boarding school merely sent me more quickly on the downward spiral that dominated my childhood (Downward Quotes)
Human history, like all great movements, was cyclical, and returned to the point of beginning. The idea of indefinite progress in a right line was a chimera of the imagination, with no analogue in nature. The parabola of a comet was perhaps a yet better illustration of the career of humanity. Tending upward and sunward from the aphelion of barbarism, the race attained the perihelion of civilization only to plunge downward once more to its nether goal in the regions of chaos (Downward Quotes)
The people who, during the election, were so wise, so moral, so perfect, now have no tendencies whatever; or if they have any, they are tendencies that lead downward to degradation... If people are as incapable, as immoral, and as ignorant as the politicians indicate, then why is the right of these same people to vote defended with such passionate insistence? (Downward Quotes)
I know if I missed a day and nothing happened, then it would be much easier to miss another day. Pretty soon I wouldn’t have much of a schedule, and then I’d have less motivation. It’s a downward spiral that I want to avoid, so I keep the schedule sacred (Downward Quotes)
The only perfect circle on the human body is the eye. When a baby is born it’s so perfect, but when it opens its eyes it’s just blinded by the corruption and everything else is a downward spiral (Downward Quotes)

Recognizing that the current form of globalization is nothing more than a generalized downward leveling in which global corporations are extracting more and more of the wealth, power, and productive energies from communities and the environment is the right approach... And knowing that in every specific battle, what we are fighting for is merely the substitution of the human agenda for the corporate agenda is what can guide and sustain us (Downward Quotes)
It is best as one grows older to strip oneself of possessions, to shed oneself downward like a tree, to be almost wholly earth before one dies (Downward Quotes)
Out there people are working and arguing and laughing, living their beautiful, terrible lives, falling in love and having babies and being bored out of their skulls and feeling depressed, then being consoled by some little thing like watching the patterns the light makes through the leaves of trees, casting shadows on the sidewalks. I remember the line from that poem now. Downward to darkness, on extended wings (Downward Quotes)
