Text Quotes

Dance to inspire, dance to freedom, life is about experiences so dance and let yourself become free. (Experiences Quotes)
Children, I mean, think of your own childhood, how important the bedtime story was. How important these imaginary experiences were for you. They helped shape reality, and I think human beings wouldn’t be human without narrative fiction. (Experiences Quotes)
My dad’s gay experiences really had a very positive influence on me and my straight relationships - how to better accept all the weirdness and ambiguity and ups and downs and paradoxes. I knew from the beginning I was writing about love. (Experiences Quotes)
After a summer trip to Switzerland, which was rich in experiences, I started writing. In the beginning, I aimed at descriptions of nature and folk life until, as the years passed, the description of man became my chief interest. (Experiences Quotes)
Humanity’s legacy of stories and storytelling is the most precious we have. All wisdom is in our stories and songs. A story is how we construct our experiences. At the very simplest, it can be: ‘He/she was born, lived, died.’ Probably that is the template of our stories - a beginning, middle, and end. This structure is in our minds. (Experiences Quotes)
The same stimuli in the world can be inducing very different experiences internally and it’s probably based on a single change in a gene. What I am doing is pulling the gene forward and imaging and doing behavioural tests to understand what that difference is and how reality can be constructed so differently. (Experiences Quotes)
The way to develop self-confidence is to do the thing you fear and get a record of successful experiences behind you. (Experiences Quotes)
Everything I talk about in stand-up is my experiences as an American, as a father, as a husband, as a black man, as a human being. (Experiences Quotes)
I’m a mad thinker in general. I think about everything, all the time. Especially when I write music, a lot of the influences come from personal experiences or from being on the outside looking in, being that person who witnessed things that stuck with me throughout my life. (Experiences Quotes)
In mystical traditions, it is one’s own readiness that makes experiences exoteric or esoteric.The secret isn’t that you’re not being told.The secret is that you’re not able to hear. (Experiences Quotes)
By being able to play different styles I can get more work. I also learn so much from each of those experiences. It keeps everything from getting stale. (Experiences Quotes)
I talk about religion because it’s one of the ways human beings find power and belonging. Religion is more than just that - I think faith traditions give us ways to talk about experiences of the numinous, too - but power and belonging are a big part of it. (Experiences Quotes)
I promise you that all who faithfully attend to temple work will be blessed beyond measure. Your families will draw closer to the Lord, unseen angels will watch over your loved ones when satanic forces tempt them, the veil will be thin, and great spiritual experiences will distill upon this people. (Experiences Quotes)
I have gained so much more from my experiences of being open and loving humanity rather than being jaded and being closed-off. (Experiences Quotes)
I believe that one should be able to control and manipulate experiences, even the most terrifying, like madness, being tortured...with an informed and intelligent mind. (Experiences Quotes)
The first six years of a child’s life, it is like a tape recorder is on. Everything it sees, smells, touches, experiences in any way, whatever it hears, is being downloaded into the brain before the consciousness of the child is even made apparent. (Experiences Quotes)
I’ve learned a lot from the experiences that I went through in high school, through college and overseas, and just everything in life. That is what prepared me for coming into the NBA, being undersized, no recognition, not getting anything easy, and I have been fortunate to prosper in this league. (Experiences Quotes)
When fear makes your choices for you, no security measures on earth will keep the things you dread from finding you. But if you can avoid avoidance - if you can choose to embrace experiences out of passion, enthusiasm, and a readiness to feel whatever arises - then nothing, nothing in all this dangerous world, can keep you from being safe. (Experiences Quotes)
Vulnerability is strength. It is being honest about who you are and about your experiences. (Experiences Quotes)
I think that when we’re looking at things when we’re right in the center of things, as opposed to being a bit unmoored from what’s going on around us, we see things through a kind of dulling lens of convention, and there’s something about extreme emotional experiences that gives us a heightened clarity, I think, of thought and of feeling. (Experiences Quotes)
There’s a hazardous sadness to the first sounds of someone else’s work in the morning; it’s as if stillness experiences pain in being broken. (Experiences Quotes)
I have a terror of things being nice and knowing what to expect. Making a photograph is a license to have experiences that I would not otherwise have. (Experiences Quotes)
... I am the same personal being who in old times upon the Earth had those experiences. (Experiences Quotes)
When I became religious, it was full-force for me. And, through the lifestyle of being out on the road with non-Jewish musicians, in non-Jewish nightclubs and going all over the world - getting out of the shtetl - opened me up to having experiences that other religious men might not have to think or worry about. (Experiences Quotes)

When we go out to the country and just sit there, what we’re really doing is just switching off various kinds of alertness that we don’t have to use. When we do that, we are stopping being defensive. We are no longer shutting ourselves off from different types of experiences, we are welcoming them in. (Experiences Quotes)
