Formless Quotes

Improvisation in the jazz sense - like the business sense - is not formless. It is built on a skill set. Jazz, for example, involves selecting a tune Picture Quote #1

There was something undifferentiated and yet complete, which existed before Heaven and Earth. Soundless and formless, it depends on nothing and does not change. It operates everywhere and is free from danger. It may be considered the mother of the universe. I do not know its name; I call it Tao Picture Quote #1

I had a strong propensity, which I still have, to be invisible. In grade school, I’d try to disappear and become formless. I lived in a very imaginary world. I loved poetry and wrote my first novel when I was 9. It was about a little girl and the people she met in the woods Picture Quote #1

Water is the formless potential out of which creation emerged. It is the ocean of unconsciousness enveloping the islands of consciousness. Water bathes us at birth and again at death, and in between it washes away sin. It is by turns the elixir of life or the renewing rain or the devastating flood Picture Quote #1

Thoughts - even fears - were airy things, formless until you made them solid with your voice and once given that weight, they could crush you Picture Quote #1

It is how we choose what we do, and how we approach it, that will determine whether the sum of our days adds up to a formless blur, or to something resembling a work of art Picture Quote #1

In streams of light I clearly saw the dust you seldom see, out of which the nameless makes a name for one like me... All busy in the sunlight the flecks did float and dance, and I was tumbled up with them in formless circumstance Picture Quote #1

Through knowledge we behold the world's creation, how in his cradle first he fostered was; and judge of nature's cunning operation, how things she formed of a formless mass Picture Quote #1

... it is through poetry that we give name to those ideas which are-until the poem-nameless and formless, about to be birthed, but already felt Picture Quote #1

Never look at the visible supply; always look at the limitless riches in the formless substance and know that they are coming to you as fast as you can receive and use them Picture Quote #1

Our gratitude liberates an energy within us that immediately expands into the formless substance, where it is instantly returned to us in kind Picture Quote #1

A person can form things in his thought, and, by impressing his thought upon formless substance, can cause the thing he thinks about to be created Picture Quote #1

There are. intangible realities which float near us, formless and without words; realities which no one has thought out, and which are excluded for lack of interpreters Picture Quote #1

It is conceivable that what is unified form to the author or composer may of necessity be formless to his audience Picture Quote #1

Unhappiness is a dangerous thing, like carbon monoxide. You don’t smell it, you don’t taste it, it’s formless and colourless, but it poisons slowly. It seeps into every pore of your skin until one day your heart just stops beating Picture Quote #1

The arts objectify subjective reality, and subjectify outward experience of nature. Art education is the education of feeling, and a society that neglects it gives itself up to formless emotion. Bad art is corruption of feeling Picture Quote #1

It seems to me that the thing that makes the theater worthwhile is the fact that it attracts so many people with ideas who are constantly trying to share them with the public. Real art is illumination. It gives a man an idea he never had before or lights up ideas that were formless or only lurking in the shadows of his mind. It adds stature to life Picture Quote #1

If I can get on to my sofa and occupy myself for four hours, at intervals through the day, scribbling my notes, and able to read the books that belong to me, in that they clarify the density, and shape the formless mass within, life seems inconceivably rich Picture Quote #1

My paintings are loosely based on meta narratives. The pictures float in and out of pictorial genres. Still life’s become personified, portraits become events, and landscapes become constructions. I embrace the area between which the subject is composed and decomposing, formed and formless, inanimate and alive Picture Quote #1

The world you experience, every day and night of your life, is transient. They only last for the blink of an eye, and then they dissolve back into that unknowable and formless eternity Picture Quote #1

Meditation is a practice of detaching and then stopping ourselves from thinking; our thoughts are interruptions in the flow of awareness. Consciousness, in its highest aspect, is perfect and formless Picture Quote #1

You have to become that infinite formless creation, which is life, to know it. It cannot be known in an intellectual sense. That is enlightenment Picture Quote #1

The role of the writer is not to say what we can all say, but what we are unable to say. Most of the writing today which is called fiction contains such a poverty of language, such triteness, that it is a shrunken, diminished world we enter, poorer and more formless than the poorest cripple deprived of ears and eyes and tongue. The writer’s responsibility is to increase, develop our senses, expand our vision, heighten our awareness and enrich our articulateness Picture Quote #1

If you want immortality, then deny form. Whatever has form has mortality. Beyond form is the formless, the immortal Picture Quote #1

There were shadows galore in the dim light, but there was one shadow that did not correspond to any object in the room. It lurked next to the fireplace, a formless, undulating darkness Picture Quote #1

As a toy fruit or a toy elephant reminds one of the real fruit and the living animal, so do the images that are worshipped remind one of the God who is formless and eternal Picture Quote #1

The formless cannot be based on the form. The form needs to be based on the formless Picture Quote #1
