I know I can’t make time slow down, can’t hold our life as it is in a freeze frame or slow my children’s inexorable journeys into adulthood and lives of their own. But I can celebrate those journeys by bearing witness to them, by paying attention, and, perhaps most of all, by carrying on with my own growth and becoming. Now it dawns on me that the only way I can figure out what I’m meant to be doing is to try to understand who I’m meant to be... I will not waste this life, not one hour, not one minute. I will not take for granted the blessing of our being here... I will give thanks (Slow Quotes)
The art of reading is the art of adopting the pace the author has set. Some books are fast and some are slow, but no book can be understood if it is taken at the wrong speed (Slow Quotes)
You can actually suffer a little bit more going slowly than when you’re going really fast. A faster marathon might even be easier than a slow one, in terms of what it takes out of you mentally (Slow Quotes)
That’s what running does to lives. It’s not just exercise. It’s not just achievement. It’s a daily discipline that has nothing to do with speed, weight, social status, sexual orientation, political affiliation, where you live, what car you drive, or whether anyone anywhere loves you. It’s about the slow and painful process of being the best you can be (Slow Quotes)
When we slow down, quiet the mind, and allow ourselves to feel hungry for something that we do not understand, we are dipping into the abundant well of spiritual longing (Slow Quotes)
Have we failed to slow global warming pollution in part because climate and environmental activists have been too polite and well behaved? (Slow Quotes)
It’s a dream of mine. I worked very, very hard for many years. But the reality is, it’s slow coming... I think we’re still a generation away from that (Slow Quotes)
It started kind of slow, but we got back into it, bad as you might not want to. You’ve got to get some type of enthusiasm going out there. It’s kind of kicking in as a reality. People only grieve for so long, but I’m starting to understand it (Slow Quotes)
Their elegant shape, showy colors, and slow, sailing mode of flight, make them very attractive objects, and their numbers are so great that they form quite a feature in the physiognomy of the forest, compensating for the scarcity of flowers (Slow Quotes)
Personally, I have been very impressed by the slow food movement. It is about celebrating the culture of food, of sharing the extraordinary knowledge, developed over millennia, of the traditions involved with quality food production, of the sheer joy and pleasure of consuming food together. Especially within the context of family life, this has to be one of the highest forms of cultural activity (Slow Quotes)
Life is singing also in the sand crunching under the slow and heavy steps of the guards, when we know how to listen to it (Slow Quotes)
The words are the important thing. Don’t worry about tunes. Take a tune, sing high when they sing low, sing fast when they sing slow, and you’ve got a new tune (Slow Quotes)
Technology should do the hard work, so you can get on and live your life. We’re only at one percent of what’s possible, and we’re moving slow relative to the opportunity we have (Slow Quotes)
The fate of hundreds of thousands of species on this planet may be decided in the next decade. To slow the rush to extinction, we need to achieve real, substantive political power, and we need to get there fast (Slow Quotes)
Imagine driving a car that isn’t working well. When you step on the gas the car sometimes lurches forward and sometimes doesn’t respond. When you blow the horn it sounds blaring. The brakes sometimes slow the car, but not always. The blinkers work occasionally, the steering is erratic, and the speedometer is inaccurate. You are engaged in a constant struggle to keep the car on the road, and it is difficult to concentrate on anything else (Slow Quotes)
One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty; one who rules his spirit, than he who takes a city (Slow Quotes)
The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger. It is his glory to overlook an offense (Slow Quotes)
Our modern economy privileges pure profit, momentary transactions and rapid fluidity. Part of craft’s anchoring role is that it helps to objectify experience and also to slow down labor. It is not about quick transactions or easy victories. That slow tempo of craftwork, of taking the time you need to do something well, is profoundly stabilizing to individuals (Slow Quotes)
When I reached the top in business, I adjusted to my new position – I became bolder and crazier than before. And I listened even less to people who tried to slow me down (Slow Quotes)
Inflation, especially a slow steady rise in prices, encourages producers, because it means that they can commit themselves to costs of production on one price level and then, later, offer the finished product for sale at a somewhat higher price level. This situation encourages production because it gives confidence of an almost certain profit margin (Slow Quotes)
Slow down, especially at the beginning of a speech. You’ll get the audience’s attention by pausing (Slow Quotes)
Teams can’t prepare for me in batting practice. They can’t find anyone who throws as slow as I do (Slow Quotes)
Apathy is the slow poison coursing through the body politic that paves the way to tyranny (Slow Quotes)
When I look fast, I’m not smooth and I am going slowly. And when I look slow, I am smooth and going fast (Slow Quotes)
I had a dual goal in my running that was to win and to achieve excellence, so I was never happy with a slow tactical time. If the race were slow I would get in front and pull it up again. I couldn’t stand a slow race. A lot of people seem to get screwed up on tactics. There is only one tactic in a race and that is to always be in a position where you can win it (Slow Quotes)
Even if the pace is slow in championships, you can still sprint well and still power in the last 200, which is always the main part when the race is slow (Slow Quotes)
Keeping a slow hunch alive poses challenges on multiple scales. For starters, you have to preserve the hunch in your own memory, in the dense network of your neurons. Most slow hunches pass in and out of our memory too quickly, precisely because they possess a certain murkiness. You get a feeling that there’s an interesting avenue to explore, a problem that might lead you to a solution, but then you get distracted by more pressing matters and the hunch disappears. So part of the secret of hunch cultivation is simple: write everything down (Slow Quotes)
Apathy is the same as war, it all kills you, she says. Slow like cancer in the breast or fast like a machete in the neck (Slow Quotes)
Watching a scene from a film in slow motion is possible, but there’s an unreal air to it; reading a passage from a book slowly does nothing to rob the words of their power. A film presents images; a book creates images inside the reader, with the reader’s active participation. Books are good for your brain (Slow Quotes)
Everything that is great in life is the product of slow growth; the newer, and greater, and higher, and nobler the work, the slower is its growth, the surer is its lasting success. Mushrooms attain their full power in a night; oaks require decades. A fad lives its life in a few weeks; a philosophy lives through generations and centuries (Slow Quotes)
