Tennis can be a grind and there’s always the danger of going stale if you think about it too much. You can get embittered if you train too hard and have nothing else on your mind. You have to be able to relax between matches and between tournaments Picture Quote #1

Jargon is the verbal sleight of hand that makes the old hat seem newly fashionable; it gives an air of novelty and specious profundity to ideas that, if stated directly, would seem superficial, stale, frivolous, or false.

Perfectionism is a slow death. if everything were to turn out just like I would want it to, just like I would plan for it to, then I would never experience anything new; my life would be an endless repetition of stale successes. when I make a mistake I experience something unexpected... when I have listened to my mistakes I have grown Picture Quote #1

One doesn’t become a witch to run around being helpful either…. It’s to escape all that – to have a life of one’s own, not an existence doled out to you by others, charitable refuse of their thoughts, so many ounces of stale bread of life a day Picture Quote #1

If you just go on dreaming then it stays a dream and becomes stale and dead. But first to dream and then to do isn’t that the way to make a dream come true Picture Quote #1

I have avoided becoming stale by putting a little water on the plate, lying on the plate, and having myself refreshed in a toaster oven for 23 minutes once every month Picture Quote #1

If I drive myself to the brink of my ability, then I don’t get stale or bored Picture Quote #1

The thing is doing it, that’s what it’s all about. Not in the results of it. After all what is a risk? It’s a risk not to take risks. Otherwise, you can go stale and repeat yourself. I don’t feel like a person who takes risks. Yet there’s something within me that must provoke controversy because I find it wherever I go. Anybody who cares about what he does takes risks Picture Quote #1

I am commonly opposed to those who modestly assume the rank of champions of liberty, and make a very patriotic noise about the people. It is the stale artifice which has duped the world a thousand times, and yet, though detected, it is still successful. I love liberty as well as anybody. I am proud of it, as the true title of our people to distinction above others; but... I would guard it by making the laws strong enough to protect it Picture Quote #1

A good engineer gets stale very fast if he doesn’t keep his hands dirty Picture Quote #1

The problem with hoarding is you end up living off your reserves. Eventually you will become stale. If you give away everything you have, you are left with nothing. This forces you to look, to be aware, to replenish. Somehow the more you give away the more comes back to you Picture Quote #1

Neurotic identity crises come when our defense mechanisms have been too successful and we’re encapsulated in the fortress we have constructed with nothing to refresh us in our solitary confinement. So we play the old movies with their stale fears and their unrealistic hopes until we become bored enough to risk disarmament and engagement Picture Quote #1

I think generally, in life, I try to always ensure that there are periodic moments where I do venture out of my comfort zone, because that’s what keeps you alive. That’s what keeps you from getting stale Picture Quote #1

If water stands motionless in a pool it grows stale and muddy, but when it moves and flows it becomes clear: so, too, man in his wanderings Picture Quote #1

People are looking for something new at the end of the day, and I think when people can do something new and unique to get people’s attention, that’s what is needed. There’s so many people that follow the trend, and then it gets to a point where it gets a little stale. So, in music, I mean, whoever’s the new trendsetter, that’s who people follow Picture Quote #1

Even at the worst of times, when nothing goes right, when the prose is clumsy and the ideas feel stale, at least we’re doing something that we genuinely love. There’s no other reason to work this hard, except that love Picture Quote #1

I’ve been playing the bad guy in the last seven or eight projects I’ve done. I like it. It’s a lot more interesting! Being the good guy gets a little stale after a while, you know? Picture Quote #1
