Ritual Quotes

Eventually, ritual was developed as a means of contacting and utilizing the energy within humans as well as in the nature world Picture Quote #1

If the religious experience were simply some naive impression of the uninformed it would not have resulted in such intellectual insight, such spiritual exaltation, such spectacular religious ritual, or in the immense volume of song and poetry and literature and dance that humans have produced Picture Quote #1

Ritual which could entail a wedding or brushing one’s teeth goes in the direction of life. Through it we reconcile our barbed solitude with rushing, irreducible conditions of life Picture Quote #1

Ritual is important to us as human beings. It ties us to our traditions and our histories Picture Quote #1

Repetition and ritual and their good results come in many forms: changing the oil filter, wiping noses, going to meetings, picking up around the house, washing dishes, checking the dipstick... such a round of chores is not a set of difficulties we hope to escape from so that we may do our practice, which will put us on the path. It is our path Picture Quote #1

Treating ourselves like appliances that can be unplugged and plugged in again at will or cars that stop and start with the twist of a key, we have forgotten the importance of fallow time and winter and rests in music. We have abandoned a whole system of dealing with the neutral zone through ritual, and we have tried to deal with personal change as though it were a matter of some kind of readjustment Picture Quote #1

For some obscure reason, some authorities seem bent on making the drinking of wine a ritual more complicated than chess. They have succeeded in inhibiting a large section of the public and depriving them of one of the greatest pleasures known to man Picture Quote #1

One of the most powerful aspects of drumming and the reason people have done it since the beginning of being human is that it changes people’s consciousness. Through rhythmic repetition of ritual sounds, the body, the brain and the nervous system are energized and transformed. When a group of people play a rhythm for an extended period of time, their brain waves become entrained to the rhythm and they have a shared brain wave state. The longer the drumming goes on, the more powerful the entrainment becomes. It’s really the oldest holy communion Picture Quote #1

Like most people who smoked umpteen cigarettes a day, I tasted only the first one. The succeeding umpteen minus one were a compulsive ritual which had no greater savour than the fumes of burning money Picture Quote #1

Belief transcends ritual, structure and societal expectation. It is an enlivening, intensely personal core to our being. Our way of being Picture Quote #1

If the music in a groove fits with what you’re playing, then play it; if not, then you can play it backwards. If that doesn’t work, you try it at a different speed. If it really doesn’t work you just break it. The whole ritual to put a record on a turntable just to listen to it, I don’t do that too often Picture Quote #1

When speech is divorced from speaker and word from meaning, what is left is just ritual, language as ritual Picture Quote #1

The whole dating ritual was different when I was a kid. Girls got pinned, not nailed Picture Quote #1

To pray together, in whatever tongue or ritual, is the most tender brotherhood of hope and sympathy that man can contract in this life Picture Quote #1

When the entire process becomes a prescribed ritual that does not allow for spontaneous variations and reactions, the vitality of the medium and our relation to it suffers Picture Quote #1

Many people conceive of religion as something apart from everyday affairs of the world. They think of it in terms of ceremony or ritual or sermons and often it strikes them as being dull or not particularly interesting. Religion may be described in many ways. I like to think of it as a medicine, a healing medicine for the mind Picture Quote #1

Ballet really lends itself to that because there’s such a sense of ritual, with wrapping the shoes every day and preparing new shoes for every performance. It’s such a process. It’s almost religious, in nature Picture Quote #1

I try to work every day, even when I’m not motivated. Ritual is very important to me Picture Quote #1

I think booze is a good ritual. I think knocking back a shot of whiskey does calm the nerves and helps a lot Picture Quote #1

On the whole, our modern ritual is impoverished and does not fulfill man’s need for collective art and ritual Picture Quote #1

Ritual and ceremony in their due times kept the world under the sky and the stars in their courses. It was astonishing what ritual and ceremony could do Picture Quote #1

It is one thing to say that the dwelling has symbolic and cosmological aspects... and another to say that it has been erected for ritual purposes and is neither shelter nor dwelling but a temple Picture Quote #1

Fear has always been a diminisher of life. Whether bred in the bogs of superstition or clothed in the brocades of dogma and ritual, the specter of death has reduced the living to supplicants, powerless Picture Quote #1

Sex is not some sort of pristine, reverent ritual. You want reverent and pristine, go to church Picture Quote #1

Myth, legend, and ritual... function to maintain a status quo. That makes them singularly bad in coping with change, indeed counterproductive, for change is the enemy of myth Picture Quote #1

Ritual and myth are like seed crystals of new patterns that can eventually reshape culture around them Picture Quote #1

Ritual is a terribly important, binding cement in a society. If we abandon formality and rituals, we’re actually weakening the relationships that exist between people that bind Picture Quote #1

Thanksgiving isn’t the only thing that has changed. This makes it reassuring somehow to go through the same ritual with the people you’re connected to. I guess the truth is, it all boils down to family. Right? Picture Quote #1

Ritual is the most primitive reflection of serious thought, a slow deposit, as it were, of people’s imaginative insight into life Picture Quote #1

Magic, then, is not a method, but a language; it is part and parcel of that greater phenomenon, ritual, which is the language of religion. Ritual is a symbolic transformation of experiences that no other medium can adequately express Picture Quote #1
