Stopping Quotes

With fiction, there’s no reason why everything you write shouldn’t be amazing. Nobody’s stopping you from making up better stuff Picture Quote #1

This is about doing something difficult and not stopping when it becomes not just difficult, but cold and difficult... or cold and wet and difficult... or cold and wet and dark and difficult Picture Quote #1

Thinking is the natural activity of the mind. Meditation is not about stopping your thoughts. Meditation is simply a process of resting the mind in its natural state, which is open to and naturally aware of thoughts, emotions, and sensations as they occur Picture Quote #1

This is exciting, it is bold and it is absolutely necessary if we are to have any chance of stopping potentially catastrophic changes to our climate system Picture Quote #1

Creative work, summarized: In the time you set aside each day to work your ass off, ignore anything that makes you consider stopping Picture Quote #1

Photography is about a single point of a moment. It’s like stopping time. As everything gets condensed in that forced instant. But if you keep creating these points, they form a line which reflects your life Picture Quote #1

A poet articulating the dreads and horrors of our time is necessary in order to make readers understand what is happening, really understand it, not just know about it but feel it: and should be accompanied by a willingness on the part of those who write it to take additional action towards stopping the great miseries which they record Picture Quote #1

When a thing is not done, continuing to work is the strength; but when it is done, the strength lies in stopping Picture Quote #1

I completely bombed the audition... I was insecure, stopping and starting. I went to the bathroom and cried Picture Quote #1

Chavez will hit the canvas. He will be sitting in his corner, or with the doctor or referee stopping the fight. There’s no other outcome Picture Quote #1

The only person stopping you from doing something is yourself, and looking for excuses all the time just gets in the way of obtaining your own goals. It’s like the writer who keeps getting up and straightening the pictures in the room Picture Quote #1

Philosophy can be compared to some powders that are so corrosive that, after they have eaten away the infected flesh of a wound, they then devour the living flesh, rot the bones, and penetrate to the very marrow. Philosophy at first refutes errors. But if it is not stopped at this point, it goes on to attack truths. And when it is left on its own, it goes so far that it no longer knows where it is and can find no stopping place Picture Quote #1

There’s so much world to see, what’s stopping you from flying free? Picture Quote #1

The place that you gain the most power is within your own mind. Stopping thought generates power. That is why people meditate. The longer you can stop thought, the more power you gain 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

Writing a song is like playing a series of downs in football: Lots of rules, timing is crucial, lots of boundaries, lots of protective gear, lots of stopping and starting Picture Quote #1

The voice of wisdom is inherent within us and willing to guide us when we stop to listen. Of course, there are times when we feel we’ve been still as stone, and the still, small voice is still too quiet to hear. When this happens, the challenge is to practice quieting your mind anyway. Stopping and asking, quieting and listening, trusting and waiting. Waiting is difficult but worth the effort because a quiet, uncluttered mind is a natural antenna for whispers of wisdom from within Picture Quote #1

The key to gazing is stopping thought. Gazing is a soft focus; you are touching something with your luminosity. If you could but look into the mountains you would see a diffuse glow Picture Quote #1

Your life is either getting brighter from moment to moment or it’s not. If it’s not getting brighter, it’s because there’s no risk. There’s no risk in thinking instead of stopping your thought. There’s a lot of risk in stopping your thought Picture Quote #1

Stopping thought also involves shifting your values. Thought is stimulated by ideas that we have about life and the world Picture Quote #1

Once I unlocked the mystery of the alphabet that led to words, a multitude of words connecting me to the world, there was no stopping me Picture Quote #1

I am all for art’s finding a large audience. But the way that’s happening now, with big works filling big galleries and bigger shows, is mostly stopping statements from being made. Or heard. Or talked about. Or really examined. It’s watering things down Picture Quote #1

You want a better, more fraternal, more just world? Well then, start building it: Who is stopping you? Build it inside yourself and around you, build it with those who want it. Build it small, and it will grow Picture Quote #1

Seeing occurs, of course, through stopping thought. Thought is the fog. When thought stops in meditation, at any point, when there’s no thought, we see the other shore Picture Quote #1

I like coming up with these spectacular extravaganzas that will, hopefully, totally blow people away. But I also like the intimacy of stopping it all and sitting at the edge of the stage and connecting with individual people in the audience Picture Quote #1

I had always made pictures as I thought I saw the world, focusing on what lay in front, but this is not how one sees the world. It only frames the centre and cuts off the lateral vision, which lies unfocused. Now I found that I could turn my eye to the adjacent field of vision, seeing another focus, an extension which I added to the original. Instead of stopping at two focuses, I looked further to the side, adding another and yet another Picture Quote #1

How many thoughts float in and out of your head without your stopping to identify them? How many ideas and insights have escaped because you forgot to pay attention? Picture Quote #1

Take risks. Fail. Pick yourself back up again. And always, always remember this: there is no adversity capable of stopping you once the choice to persevere is made Picture Quote #1

The way you succeed at all this stuff is by stopping trying to succeed and just working very hard without thinking about it, just trusting, completely. It’s that faith that creates the bridge on which you walk across to eternity Picture Quote #1

Stopping the endless pursuit of getting somewhere else is the perhaps most beautiful offering we can make to our spirit Picture Quote #1
