Activities Quotes

Of all human activities, writing is the one for which it is easiest to find excuses not to begin – the desk’s too big, the desk’s too small, there’s too much noise, there’s too much quiet, it’s too hot, too cold, too early, too late. I had learned over the years to ignore them all, and simply to start Picture Quote #1

The ordinary activities I find most compatible with contemplation are walking, baking bread, and doing laundry Picture Quote #1

Maybe careers aren’t something you can really plan for. They just sort of happen, like brown eyes or flat feet. I took one of those career aptitude tests last year, and it showed that I should be a flight attendant or a seamstress. Not a fashion designer or anything, mind you, but a sweatshop worker. Apparently stewardesses and sweatshop workers and I enjoy a lot of the same interests and activities Picture Quote #1

The secret to being alone is to organize your time; to develop habits and routines and gradually elevate their importance to where they seem almost like normal, healthy activities Picture Quote #1

What is wrong with inciting intense dislike of a religion if the activities or teachings of that religion are so outrageous, irrational or abusive of human rights that they deserve to be intensely disliked? Picture Quote #1

Man wants to see nature and evolution as separate from human activities. There is a natural world, and there is man. But man also belongs to the natural world. If he is a ferocious predator, that too is part of evolution. If cod and haddock and other species cannot survive because man kills them, something more adaptable will take their place. Nature, the ultimate pragmatist, doggedly searches for something that works. But as the cockroach demonstrates, what works best in nature does not always appeal to us Picture Quote #1

When each expects the other to live in his or her world, to always be there to join in his or her chosen activities, an ego battle inevitably develops Picture Quote #1

Science emerges from the other progressive activities of man to the extent that new concepts arise from experiments and observations, and that the new concepts in turn lead to further experiments and observations Picture Quote #1

The search for a new personality is futile; what is fruitful is the interest the old personality can take in new activities Picture Quote #1

Spiritual nature is inconceivable and unlimited. Therefore, the activities of that realm will always remain beyond our mental speculation and intellectual concept Picture Quote #1

Over the years, I learned so much from mom. She taught me about the importance of home and history and family and tradition. She also taught me that aging need not mean narrowing the scope of your activities and interests or a diminution of the great pleasures to be had in the everyday Picture Quote #1

I think the money that I’ve got is a consequence of the activities I’ve been doing and the interests that I’ve had in my life. I’ve never set out to make a lot of money Picture Quote #1

All scientific knowledge to which man owes his role as master of the world arose from playful activities Picture Quote #1

It’s funny. I’m attracted to things that don’t have any impact on life. People say I’ve done a great thing for women. I don’t think I have. People say I’ve given people courage. That makes me feel good, but I don’t see how I do that. I think my running is a selfish thing. But it provides the challenge that allows me to feel good about myself. How can I expect to do well in other activities if I don’t feel good about myself? Picture Quote #1

I do believe that one way to bring cultures together, to develop trust between people and countries and religions, is through education. And through music and art and basketball and activities and joys that people share worldwide, regardless of ethnic background or religious orientation Picture Quote #1

If you are not personally free to be yourself in that most important of all human activities... the expression of love... then life itself loses its meaning Picture Quote #1

Our lives are lived in intense and anxious struggle, in a swirl of speed and aggression, in competing, grasping, possessing and achieving, forever burdening ourselves with extraneous activities and preoccupations Picture Quote #1

Simplifying our lives does not mean sinking into idleness, but on the contrary, getting rid of the most subtle aspect of laziness: the one which makes us take on thousands of less important activities Picture Quote #1

Boredom is useful to me when I notice it and think: Oh I’m bored; there must be something else I want to be doing... boredom acts as an initiator of originality by pushing me into new activities or new thoughts Picture Quote #1

Humans do not engage in activities that are meaningless. If you think you see people doing things you find meaningless, look again and try to understand what the activities mean for them Picture Quote #1

You are more likely to acquire power by narrowing your focus and applying your energies, like the sun’s rays, to a limited range of activities in a small number of domains Picture Quote #1

God needs no worship, no praise, no thanksgiving. It is man himself who needs the benefit to be derived from these activities Picture Quote #1

Psychological wealth includes life satisfaction, the feeling that life is full of meaning, a sense of engagement in interesting activities, the pursuit of important goals, the experience of positive emotional feelings, and a sense of spirituality that connects people to things larger than themselves Picture Quote #1

No tax in any amount, large or small, can be levied to support any religious activities or institutions, whatever they may be called, or whatever form they may adopt to teach or practice religion Picture Quote #1

Scientists are also unnerved by the summer’s implications for the future... proof that human activities are propelling a slide toward climate calamity... humans may have tipped the balance... a particularly harsh jolt to polar bears Picture Quote #1

Human life as a whole is not inundated by technique. It has room for activities that are not rationally or systematically ordered. But the collision between spontaneous activities and technique is catastrophic for the spontaneous activities Picture Quote #1

The timing and characteristics of state intervention affect not only organizational tactics and strategies, but the content and definition of interest itself... Some scholars have directly stressed that state interventions create corporatist forms... the formation, let alone the political capabilities, of such purely socioeconomic phenomena as interest groups and classes depends in significant measure on the structures and activities of the very states the social actors, in turn, seek to influence Picture Quote #1

Essentially, by 2050 we need all activities outside agriculture to be near zero carbon emitting if we are to stop carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere growing Picture Quote #1

This is a steady, ceaseless process, impossible to contain as long as the economy driven by the endless accumulation of capital. The system may prolong its life by slowing down some of the activities which are wearing it out, but death always looms somewhere on the horizon Picture Quote #1

Wildness we might consider as the root of the authentic spontaneities of any being. It is that wellspring of creativity whence comes the instinctive activities that enable all living beings to obtain their food, to find shelter, to bring forth their young: to sing and dance and fly through the air and swim through the depths of the sea. This is the same inner tendency that evokes the insight of the poet, the skill of the artist and the power of the shaman Picture Quote #1
