Text Quotes
My own habit had always been to write about the things that ticked me off in a given day. If I kept a journal at all, I kept it to vent  (The Thing Quotes) The thing about animals that speaks to me so much is that my passion for the animals and against animal abuse is based on the knowledge that these creatures which think and feel can’t speak for themselves. I feel it is my responsibility to speak for those who can’t speak for themselves  (The Thing Quotes) The thing which we speak of as beauty does not have to be sought in distant lands... It is here about us or it is nowhere  (The Thing Quotes) Everything’s been about the journey, I never really set out with goals for fighting; it’s been about the adventure along the way. When you’re on your death bed, it’s those stories, those little adventures that are going to be the things that you remember. It’s not so much getting there, but how you got there  (The Thing Quotes) For me it’s always just been about experiencing the things I love and documenting them. I have gotten a lot of joy out of what I do, and I feel lucky to be able to spread that joy  (The Thing Quotes) If you want more money, don’t pay attention to the money. Pay attention to the thing that makes the money  (The Thing Quotes) You can’t just pretend that the things you watch, and the things you hear, and the places you go will not have an impact on your character. They will  (The Thing Quotes) I will always be looking back at the things I’ve gone through, thinking of the struggling people I’ve seen  (The Thing Quotes) I don’t miss being on the road right now because the thing is, I was on the road for eight years, so I love pizza, but pizza every day for eight years is a different thing  (The Thing Quotes) The important thing to remember is it’s not about balance; it’s about integration... to really focus on making sure you’re integrating all four aspects of your work, your family, your community and yourself. And it’s not about trying to spend equal amounts of time on everything you do each day on each of these things, but making sure you’re paying attention to all the things that make it up as a whole human being  (The Thing Quotes) The most interesting things that happen in my books are usually the things that arise spontaneously, the things that surprise me  (The Thing Quotes) Influence comes out of the work that you’ve done and the things you’ve stood for. Influence and power shouldn’t be given to just anybody who wants them  (The Thing Quotes) The thing that is most interesting about people is the way they are when no one is looking at them or the way they are when they are in private  (The Thing Quotes) I should like to insist that nearly all the important questions, the things we ponder in our profoundest moments, have no answers  (The Thing Quotes) Studies of volunteers have shown there is a benefit to performing acts of love for other people. The irony is that it is actually in your best interest to be selfless. The things you do for the benefit of others not only make you feel fulfilled, they increase your chances of living a long and happy life. Remember that an act of love always benefits at least two people  (The Thing Quotes) The inexplicable happens all the time. It makes more sense to simply accept things we observe but cannot understand. It is really more scientific to keep an open mind. Until we can understand and explain the things we now label miracles, let us accept them and try to create more of them  (The Thing Quotes) Unexplained pain may sometimes direct our attention to something unacknowledged, something we are afraid to know or feel. Then it holds us to our integrity, claiming the attention we withhold. The thing which calls our attention may be a repressed experience or some unexpressed and important part of who we are. Whatever we have denied may stop us and dam the creative flow of our lives. Avoiding pain, we may linger in the vicinity of our wounds, sometime for many years, gathering the courage to experience them  (The Thing Quotes) Prayer is not a way to get what we want to happen, like the remote control that comes with the television set. I think that prayer may be less about asking for the things we are attached to than it is about relinquishing our attachments in some way. It can take us beyond fear, which is an attachment, and beyond hope, which is another form of attachment. It can help us remember the nature of the world and the nature of life, not on an intellectual level but in a deep and experiential way. When we pray, we don’t change the world, we change ourselves. We change our consciousness  (The Thing Quotes) Suppose there is something which a person cannot understand. He happens to notice the similarity of this something to some other thing which he understands quite well. By comparing them he may come to understand the thing which he could not understand up to that moment. If his understanding turns out to be appropriate and nobody else has ever come to such an understanding, he can claim that his thinking was really creative  (The Thing Quotes) If I waited to be in the mood to write, I’d barely have a chapbook of material to my name. Who would ever be in the mood to write? Do marathon runners get in the mood to run? Do teachers wake up with the urge to lecture? I don’t know, but I doubt it. My guess is that it’s the very act that is generative. The doing of the thing that makes possible the desire for it  (The Thing Quotes) One of the things I’ve discovered in general about raising kids is that they really don’t give a damn if you walked five miles to school  (The Thing Quotes) The thing about television is that you can’t fake it. Your sense of discovery must be genuine; you can’t pretend to be surprised  (The Thing Quotes) In a consumer society, people wallow in things, fascinating, enjoyable things. If you define your value by the things you acquire and surround yourself with, being excluded is humiliating  (The Thing Quotes) That’s one of the things about getting older isn’t it? You suddenly realise that you are what you set out to be. And there are no role models any more  (The Thing Quotes) There are lots of things I could have done for the money, but I’ve made a great living doing the things I want to do  (The Thing Quotes) The funny thing is most people don’t approach me because they are scared, and that’s fine, I want to keep it that way. But the thing is if you’re not scared or get over it you learn that sometimes what you’re scared of is really what you shouldn’t be scared of  (The Thing Quotes) I have no control over people’s perceptions of me at all and that’s one of the things I decided very early on is that I can’t control the way other people think of me. All I can do, especially when it comes to my career is go out there and do cool unique kinds of things  (The Thing Quotes) When I’m with my wife, I know she’s a beautiful woman. I know that, and more than that, it’s what she is inside. She’s beautiful inside; she loves music like I do. That’s the thing that brought us together and probably keeps us together  (The Thing Quotes) One of the things that is devastating is I realise I haven’t been living a different life than when I was, like, 12. I’m shocked at how reclusive I’ve been since then. I was unaware of it until recently  (The Thing Quotes) One of the things you realize with a lot of high achievers: You have to figure out a way to make things their idea  (The Thing Quotes)
