Experience Quotes

“What I like about experience is that it is such an honest thing. You may number of wrong turnings; but keep your eyes open and you will not be allowed to go very far before the warning signs appear. You may have deceived yourself, but experience is not trying to deceive you. The universe rings true wherever you fairly test it.”

“On the whole, people deceive themselves through lack of courage rather than lack of clarity about the predicament in which they find themselves-- one may deceive oneself because one lacks the courage to face the implications of one's experience, or simply because that experience is so confused and puzzling that one opts for a relatively non-threatening interpretation of it.”

“It has always been a mystery to me how Adam, Eve, and the serpent were taught the same language. Where did they get it? We know now, that it requires a great number of years to form a language; that it is of exceedingly slow growth. We also know that by language, man conveys to his fellows the impressions made upon him by what he sees, hears, smells and touches. We know that the language of the savage consists of a few sounds, capable of expressing only a few ideas or states of the mind, such as love, desire, fear, hatred, aversion and contempt. Many centuries are required to produce a language capable of expressing complex ideas. It does not seem to me that ideas can be manufactured by a deity and put in the brain of man. These ideas must be the result of observation and experience.”

“They have optimism and confidence. Because they are optimistic and confident, they react to setbacks not by getting discouraged and giving up, but with persistence. Their attitude is, “I’m not playing well right now, but when I put it all together [or our team puts it all together], I’ll really be something. I can beat anybody.” Because they persist, they get better. Because they get better, they experience success. And that success reinforces their optimism, their confidence, and their respect for their own talent. That’s the virtuous circle.”

“And no matter how upbeat they are—no matter how ingenious and flexible—the unemployed and underemployed understand that the clock is always ticking in the background. The longer you are unemployed, the less likely you are to find an appropriate job, and entries like “sales associate,” “limo driver,” or “server” do not make an attractive filling for the growing Gap in one’s résumé. At the same time, you are inexorably aging past the peak of occupational attractiveness, which seems to lie somewhere in the midthirties now. Experience is not an advantage; in fact, as Richard Sennett notes of corporate employment, “as a person’s experience accumulates, it loses value.” So once you fall into the low-wage, survival-job trap, there’s a good chance that you will remain there—an unwilling transplant from a more spacious and promising world.”

“Don't worry about failure and you don't even have to be right once. As long as you are creating something that you care about, that you are doing something worthwhile even when you look back after many years, repeating that process will always be a fulfilling, pleasant and joyful experience no matter the outcome of it because, for a committed human being who is involved in what he's doing, there is no such thing as failure.”

“পুরুষতান্ত্রিক বাঙলা কবিতা বারবার প্রেমিকা কেমন এবং কী রকম হবে- তার একটা দীর্ঘ দেবীবন্দনার অশ্লীল তালিকা বারবারই তো আমাদের সম্মুখে স্তন-যোনি-নিতম্বের দাবিসহ ক্রমাগত পেশ করে গেছে; সেই পুরুষনির্মিত গণোরিয়ার দাবি এবং মধুকর ডিঙির সংখ্যা একইসঙ্গে শুনতে শুনতে এবং গুনতে গুনতে আমরাও যখন ক্রমশ ক্লান্ত ও বিপর্যস্ত- ঠিক সেই রকম এক ক্লান্তি ও লাঞ্ছনার কালে "লবণপীড়িত মহুলমাস" অতিক্রম করতে করতে সোনালী আমাদের সামনে এসে দাঁড়ালেন- অনেকটা যেন অলংকারবর্জিত আভরণবর্জিত এক রক্তিম ও শ্যামলীন যোগিনী- যিনি প্রথম স্পষ্ট করে বললেন- তাঁর চাই মৃত্তিকা ও নক্ষত্র দিয়ে গড়ে ওঠা এক প্রেমিক, যে প্রেমিক যে কোনো মুহূর্তে দাঁড় বেয়ে বর্ষা আনতে পারে- যে প্রেমিক যে কোনো মুহূর্তে বন্ধ্যা পাথরে ঘা মেরে মেরে পদ্মফুল তুলে আনতে পারে- যে একইসঙ্গে খুনী শ্যাম এবং তরঙ্গবিক্ষুব্ধ অবধূতও বটে- সোনালী, সোনালী একমাত্র সেই বজ্রযোগীস্বরূপ প্রেমিকসত্ত্বার অপেক্ষায় পরকীয়ারত, স্পষ্ট ও প্রলয়তুচ্ছ”

“That was the moment I became aware of all the pieces that I had lost, and yet that didn't bother me. At that moment, I existed inside the silence that was birthed in between the words, rather than in the words itself. In every breath I took, I was born. And in every breath I let out, I died. My soul hadn't suffered so beautifully ever before. But still, a part of it wanted all this to end, and the other part wished that it never stopped. The soul of mine, which has existed for billions of years, was trying to search all these experiences in all its previous existences, just to believe that this wasn't the first time it was feeling so many things. But all it was able to remember was now. This moment. It wished to carve this moment into it so that when it would come across this experience again, it would be able to remember it easily. But it was sure it had done the same before too, and it would continue to do the same again and again, forever.”

“Religion is one; theologies are many. Theology contaminates religion. People have different theologies. They have been fighting because of theology. Theology means the philosophy about God, the logic about God. It is all meaningless because there is no way to prove God. There is no way to disprove either. Argumentation is just irrelevant. Yes, one can experience god but one cannot prove and that’s what theology goes on doing. Humanity is growing towards that awareness where theology will be dropped and religion will be accepted purely as an experience.”

“Eventually, it boils down to two choices – do I wish to experience this physical reality primarily through joy or do I want to experience it through suffering? That’s all there is to it. And since each person eventually works their way toward the realization that conscious expansion can happen through joy rather than suffering – enlightenment is a natural byproduct.”

“Our goal in life is to carry with us the wisdom of experience, yet treat each new day as its own unique reality, rather than comparing what currently is to what has been in the past. When we compare, we plant expectations that then become self-fulfilling prophesies through the Law of Attraction.”

“The power and intensity of that experience made me shake and tremble with fear. The reality and tangibility of God in that moment was so jarring that I threw the rest of the weed away and decided to just stick with the opiates. I knew that using drugs to get off drugs was stupid.”
