Usual Quotes

I continue to get further away from the usual painter’s tools such as easel, palette, brushes, etc. I prefer sticks, trowels, knives and dripping fluid paint or a heavy impasto with sand, broken glass or other foreign matter added Picture Quote #1

As usual, my mind is spinning in circles... is it me? Am I making mountains out of molehills? Being too analytical? Worrying about nothing? Being emotional? Picture Quote #1

While some people are apprehensive that meditation may conflict with their beliefs, the usual experience is that it leads to a heightened appreciation of their particular religious leanings and a greater level of personal joy Picture Quote #1

There is a clear message from science: To avoid dangerous interference with the climate system, we need to move away from business as usual Picture Quote #1

Adventure is something out of the usual pattern, a point at which you cannot avoid confronting the unknown, so that you have to dig inside yourself to find the courage and resources to deal with what may lie ahead, and to succeed Picture Quote #1

Born to an age where horror has become commonplace, where tragedy has, by its monotonous repetition, become a parody of sorrow, we need to fence off a few parks where humans try to be fair, where skill has some hope of reward, where absurdity has a harder time than usual getting a ticket Picture Quote #1

Mixing pop and politics he asks me what the use is / I offer him embarrassment and my usual excuses Picture Quote #1

And with each step my heart broke for the person I would never find, the person who’d love me. And then I would remember I had a wife at home who loved me, or later that my wife had left me and I was terrirfied, or again later that I had a beautiful alcoholic girlfriend who would make me happy forever. But every time I entered the place there were veiled faces promising everything and then clarifying quickly into the dull, the usual, looking up at me and making the same mistake Picture Quote #1

If you don’t want to cry about the state of the economy, why not laugh instead? This book is an ideal introduction to the subject for anybody who thinks they ought to understand what’s happening around them but is put off by the usual dense text and economics jargon Picture Quote #1

One the one hand, our economists treat human beings as rational actors making choices to maximize their own economic benefit. On the other hand, the same companies that hire those economists also pay for advertising campaigns that use the raw materials of myth and magic to encourage people to act against their own best interests, whether it’s a matter of buying overpriced fizzy sugar water or the much more serious matter of continuing to support the unthinking pursuit of business as usual in the teeth of approaching disaster Picture Quote #1

A career path is rarely a path at all. A more interesting life is usual a more crooked, winding path of missteps, luck and vigorous work. It is almost always a clumsy balance between the things you try to make happen and the things that happen to you Picture Quote #1

Poor people of all colors are getting poorer and our communities are getting more toxic. There is a misconception that to grow our economy we will have to do business as usual, because cleaning up the environment, mitigating climate change is just too costly. Well, I say the business of poverty is just too expensive a bill for humanity to pay any longer Picture Quote #1

Every sinew in my body came together in one perfect whole. But those who have ever experienced that feeling, and it doesn’t happen very often, will tell you it’s in a whole other place of experience from the usual ego or vanity that drives my game. So I’m not afraid to own it for what it was Picture Quote #1

In a sacred moment, when attention is pulled inward, rather than continuing in its usual outward direction, silence is realized Picture Quote #1

A designer…has the true responsibility to give his audiences not what they think they want, for this is almost invariably the usual, the accustomed, the obvious, and hence, the unspontaneous. Rather, he should provide that quality of thought and intuition which rejects the ineffectual commonplace for effectual originality Picture Quote #1

Singularitarians are the munchkins of the real world. We just ignore all the usual dungeons and head straight for the cycle of infinite wish spells Picture Quote #1

It is up to you to decide who to believe: the same people as usual or those who endanger their lives to save the country Picture Quote #1

If you are going to a destination where the food might be more exotic than usual, always err on the side of caution Picture Quote #1

When you’re socially awkward, you’re isolated more than usual, and when you’re isolated more than usual, your creativity is less compromised by what has already been said and done. All your hope in life starts to depend on your craft, so you try to perfect it. One reason I stay isolated more than the average person is to keep my creativity as fierce as possible. Being the odd one out may have its temporary disadvantages, but more importantly, it has its permanent advantages Picture Quote #1

I get a little cranky with the whole business about kids not having attention spans. This reminds me of the usual business of thinking that the next generation is hopeless. Every generation has said that about every younger generation Picture Quote #1

Meditation, in the beginning, is just replacement thinking. Instead of having the usual negative things that wander around in your mind, you are replacing those with very bright images Picture Quote #1

On the most usual assumption, the universe is homogeneous on the large scale, i.e. down to regions containing each an appreciable number of nebulae. The homogeneity assumption may then be put in the form: An observer situated in a nebula and moving with the nebula will observe the same properties of the universe as any other similarly situated observer at any time Picture Quote #1

How is the government going to get the extra taxes? Out of the rich, or just out of the poor, as usual? Picture Quote #1

A good writer refuses to be socialized. He insists on his own version of things, his own consciousness. And by doing so he draws the reader’s eye from its usual groove into a new way of seeing things Picture Quote #1

The usual relationship between an artist and his painting is like the relationship with the father, or a husband’s with his wife. But mine is a relationship with a stranger... with the chance acquaintance Picture Quote #1

It is not usual to speak of an employee as a partner, and yet what else is he? Picture Quote #1

The combination of modern ordnance and outdated tactics had, as usual, created enormous casualties on both sides Picture Quote #1

This is a serious analysis of a ridiculous subject, which is of course the opposite of what is usual in economics Picture Quote #1

To act in a way both sexist and racist, to maintain one’s class privilege, it is only necessary to act in the customary, ordinary, usual, even polite manner Picture Quote #1

Our sense of safety depends on predictability, so anything living outside the usual rules we suspect to be an outlaw, a ghoul Picture Quote #1
