A lot of what making art is, is just being open, and empty. And putting yourself in the right place for things to, literally, come together (Empty Quotes)
Imagine that your mind is like a calm, clear lake or a vast empty sky: Ripples appear on the surface of the lake and clouds pass across the sky, but they soon disappear without altering the natural stillness (Empty Quotes)
Not thinking about anything is zen. Once you know this, walking, standing, sitting, or lying down, everything you do is zen. To know that the mind is empty is to see the buddha... Using the mind to reality is delusion. Not using the mind to look for reality is awareness. Freeing oneself from words is liberation (Empty Quotes)
Still others commit all sorts of evil deeds, claiming karma doesn’t exist. They erroneously maintain that since everything is empty, committing evil isn’t wrong. Such persons fall into a hell of endless darkness with no hope of release. Those who are wise hold no such conception (Empty Quotes)
And he remembered thinking then that if she died, he was certain he wouldn’t cry. For it would be the dying face of an unknown, a street face, a newspaper image, and it was suddenly so very wrong that he had begun to cry, not at death but at the thought of not crying at death, a silly empty man near a silly empty woman (Empty Quotes)
The practice of meditation is emptying the mind. When the mind is empty, completely empty, it’s perfect meditation. It’s really that simple (Empty Quotes)
Zen says: be empty. Look without any idea. Look into the nature of things but with no idea, with no prejudice, with no presupposition (Empty Quotes)
Conservatism is sometimes a symptom of sterility. Those who have nothing in them that can grow and develop must cling to what they have in beliefs, ideas and possessions. The sterile radical, too, is basically conservative. He is afraid to let go of the ideas and beliefs he picked up in his youth lest his life be seen as empty and wasted (Empty Quotes)
Nothing is so intolerable to man as being fully at rest, without passion, without business, without entertainment, without care. It is then that he recognizes that he is empty, insufficient, dependent, ineffectual. From the depths of his soul now comes at once boredom, gloom, sorrow, chagrin, resentment and despair (Empty Quotes)
The coming and going of birth and death is a painting. Unsurpassed enlightenment is a painting. The entire phenomenal universe and the empty sky are nothing but a painting (Empty Quotes)
The difficulty with color is to go beyond the fact that it’s color? to have it be not just a colorful picture but really be a picture about something. It’s difficult. So often color gets caught up in color, and it becomes merly decorative. Some photographers use it brilliantly to make visual statements combining color and content; otherwise it is empty (Empty Quotes)
Sometimes when I am writing, I am aware of a rhythm, a dance, a fury, which is as yet empty of words (Empty Quotes)
I did not like the nothing, and it is thus that I met the empty, the deep empty, the depth of the blue (Empty Quotes)
When they have a choice, people will always gravitate to those rooms which have light on two sides, and leave the rooms which are lit only from one side unused and empty (Empty Quotes)
At first it seems as if begoing follows becoming. But look even closer and you will see that there are only flashes of lightning illuminating the empty sky (Empty Quotes)
To find out that you are empty of emptiness is to die into an aware mystery, which is the source of all existence (Empty Quotes)
Every night empty your mind of unhappy thoughts as you empty your pockets and come alive (Empty Quotes)
The one person who most blocks you from a full, happy, and successful life is you. They are therefore wise who make themselves an asset. We can be our own worst enemies or best friends. We can be a source of trouble or a cure for trouble. So if you feel empty, as many do, start by getting free from yourself as a first stop to vibrant living (Empty Quotes)
Recognize that it is not really possible to steadily help others when we ourselves are not in good physical, mental, or emotional state. We may be able to carry on for a while, but sooner or later we end up feeling depleted, discouraged, or weak. We cannot keep on giving when we are running on an empty tank. We need to be solid (Empty Quotes)
Sometimes, as we practice jnana yoga, we feel that life has no meaning, no purpose. We feel that there is no reason to try, that life is empty. This is another illusion (Empty Quotes)
It might seem that this knowledge is cold, devoid of emotion, empty. This is another illusion (Empty Quotes)
The ecology of the valley was complex beyond our understanding, and it began to die as we went on manipulating it in ever more frantic ways. As it went dead and empty of the old life it became a place where no one wanted to live. In our right minds we want to seek out places that reek of complexity. Our drive to industrialize soured and undercut the intimacies that drew most people to country life in the first place (Empty Quotes)
When I fight I try to empty my mind... I only see that moment, nothing else matters (Empty Quotes)
Before a fight I empty my mind. Every fighter is able to lose. It is not a big thing. You have to accept what comes and remain calm (Empty Quotes)
Empty the cup every time and it comes back at twice as full. I developed that attitude when I was very, very young, when I decided I didn’t want to be a gangster anymore. Whether it’s just shining shoes, I said okay, I’m going to do this better than anybody else did it in my life (Empty Quotes)
Mysterious spaces cause us to turn inward. Amid a rich upwelling of association, we encounter many aspects of ourselves. As we grow still, we come in contact with a unified, empty, yet full ground of our being. As our consciousness grows more spacious, we find connections between us and the wider world, a shared greater reality (Empty Quotes)
After a snowstorm is the best time to be in the woods, because all the empty beer and soda cans and candy wrappers disappear, and you don’t have to try as hard to be in another time. Plus there’s just something beautiful about walking on snow that nobody else has walked on (Empty Quotes)
We’re all influenced by everything unless we’re locked in an empty room (Empty Quotes)
What, by a word lacking even in grammar, is called amorality, is a thing that does not exist. If you are unwilling to submit to any norm, you have, nolens volens, to submit to the norm of denying all morality, and this is not amoral, but immoral. It is a negative morality which preserves the empty form of the other (Empty Quotes)
Of all the diversions of life, there is none so proper to fill up its empty spaces as the reading of useful and entertaining authors (Empty Quotes)
