Tension Quotes

Attention is the vital thing and there is no tension in attention. It just happens to be a similar word. It’s not concentration or straining. Attention has the openness of a young child not yet dominated by the conceptual mind Picture Quote #1

I like being on my own better than I like anything else, but I can’t give up love. Maybe it’s the tension between longing and aloneness that I need. My own funicular railway, holding in balance the two things most likely to destroy me Picture Quote #1

The tension between us kicked up a notch, and I realized that along with our bodies being nearer, so were our lips Picture Quote #1

I feel empty, not because of sadness, but because of relief, all the tension flowing out of me Picture Quote #1

You empty yourself and wait, listening. After a time you hear it: There is nothing there... You feel the world’s word as a tension, a hum, a single chorused note everywhere the same. This is it: This hum is the silence Picture Quote #1

What if in my waking hours a sound should ring through the silent halls of hearing?... Would the bow and string tension of life snap? Would the heart over weighted with sudden joy stop beating for very excess of happiness? Picture Quote #1

It seems to me that almost all our sadnesses are moments of tension, which we feel as paralysis because we no longer hear our astonished emotions living Picture Quote #1

Many people try to avoid pressure, yet the absence of any tension or pressure usually creates a sense of boredom and the lackluster experience of life that so many people complain about Picture Quote #1

Tension is a habit. Relaxing is a habit. Bad habits can be broken, good habits formed Picture Quote #1

When ill luck besets us, to ease the tension we have only to remember that happiness is relative. The next time you are tempted to grumble about what has happened to you, why not pause and be glad that it is no worse than it is Picture Quote #1

The gigantic tension before the shooting of an arrow, and the total relaxation seconds later, is my way of connecting to the universe Picture Quote #1

We exhaust ourselves more from the tension and the consequences of internal disharmony than from hard, unremitting work Picture Quote #1

In tension you cannot perceive; in laxity you cannot perceive. Only if you are intense and relaxed, you perceive everything just the way it is Picture Quote #1

Sometimes the hardest thing to do in a pressure situation is to allow the tension to persist. The temptation is to make a decision, any decision, even if it is an inferior choice Picture Quote #1

There’s a kind of tension that if I’m getting a story right I can feel right away, and I don’t feel that when I try to write a novel. I kind of want a moment that’s explosive, and I want everything gathered into that Picture Quote #1

The intellect must not be kept at consistent tension, but diverted by pastimes... The mind must have relaxation, and will rise stronger and keener after recreation Picture Quote #1

If pornography releases sexual tension, why don’t we send recipe books to the starving? Picture Quote #1

Over the years I’ve grown more comfortable with making people uncomfortable because that is when growth can happen. You need a little conflict. You need a little tension. And that is part of my calling. A little tough love goes a long way! Picture Quote #1

I have thought of a pulley to raise me gradually; but that would give me pain, as it would counteract my natural inclination. I would have something that can dissipate the inertia and give elasticity to the muscles. We can heat the body, we can cool it; we can give it tension or relaxation; and surely it is possible to bring it into a state in which rising from bed will not be a pain Picture Quote #1

We live in a society whose whole policy is to excite every nerve in the human body and keep it at the highest pitch of artificial tension, to strain every human desire to the limit and to create as many new desires and synthetic passions as possible, in order to cater to them with the products of our factories and printing presses and movie studios and all the rest Picture Quote #1

The psychological condition of fear is divorced from any concrete and true immediate danger. It comes in many forms: unease, worry, anxiety, nervousness, tension, dread, phobia, and so on. This kind of psychological fear is always of something that might happen, not of something that is happening now Picture Quote #1

It was like certain dinners I remember from the war. There was much wine, an ignored tension, and a feeling of things coming that you could not prevent happening. Under the wine I lost the disgusted feeling and was happy. It seemed they were all such nice people Picture Quote #1

To think that I know what’s best for anyone else is to be out of my business. Even in the name of love, it is pure arrogance, and the result is tension, anxiety, and fear. Do I know what’s right for me? That is my only business. Let me work with that before I try to solve problems for you Picture Quote #1

Are they moved by a sense of human need for silence, for reflection, for inner seeking? So they want to get away from the noise and tension of modern life, at least for a little while, in order to relax their minds and wills and seek a blessed healing sense of inner unity, reconciliation, integration? Picture Quote #1

Be very careful that you do not unconsciously assume that nervous tension is power. This is vital. Watch yourself the next time you work toward some goal. Look very closely to discover tense feelings and nervous thoughts whirling around inside. Do not let them deceive you into assuming that they are creative forces; they are not. They are thieves of genuine powers. As always, your awareness of their thievery is your first fine step toward casting them out Picture Quote #1
