Meeting People Quotes

“Stop wearing that mask that is trying to be a match for everybody, and realise that you have to have more of a 1s and 10s model. A 1s and 10s model means that if you want to be a 10 for somebody you have to risk being a 1 for somebody else. [...] You wanna express who you really are.”

“I could try composing wonderful musical works, or day-long entertainment epics, but what would that do? Give people pleasure? My wiping this table gives me pleasure. And people come to a clean table, which gives them pleasure. And anyway" - the man laughed - "people die; stars die; universes die. What is any achievement, however great it was, once time itself is dead? Of course, if all I did was wipe tables, then of course it would seem a mean and despicable waste of my huge intellectual potential. But because I choose to do it, it gives me pleasure. And," the man said with a smile, "it's a good way of meeting people. So where are you from, anyway?”

“Toulouse is to lose. Good on us, That one never lied And said it’s still alive. A full life is a series Of incompletions. Whole with holes. Entirely fragmented. Carrying one-days, Sentences, Old lovers, And looks. Absolutes turn men and women Into machines that need Numbers to work. But people were never meant to work Just to live.”

“Most people have their own unique way of looking at life, and the way they look at life keeps on 'changing.' It cannot be like 'a fixed concept' that they desperately want to hold on to. Rather,it is flowing and changing like a fluid like water and not solid like a stone. A stone is a solid, inanimate object, but the way people look at everything and the way they think in their minds is fluid, like a liquid that takes the shape of the container that it finds itself in. This 'changing' happens according to the circumstances that they encounter in their everyday lives, the situations that they find themselves in, and the people that they interact with on a day-to-day basis.If they meet and interact with the same people and find themselves in similar situations, then their philosophy solidifies into a solid, inanimate object. On the other hand, if they meet new people and find themselves in new situations, then their thoughts change and the way they look at life too changes. If you can understand the psychology of a person, then you can understand them better. I feel grateful to the people I have met in life who have changed my way of looking at life. ~ Avijeet Das”

“A person meets thousands of different people across a lifetime, a woman thousands of different men, of all shades, and many more if she constantly passes through different parts of the world. Even so, of the many different people a person on average meets it is rare for one to fit almost immediately in harmony and general interest. For all the choices available the odds are enormous.The miracle is there to be grasped.”

“If you have carefully examined hundred people you met in your life journey, it means that you have read hundred different books! Every person you know is a book; world is full of walking books; some are boring, some are marvellous, some are weak, some are powerful, but they are all useful because they all carry different experiences of different paths!”

“Bambi schien das eine wie das andere überaus hochmütig, die Art, wie der Hirsch ihn angeblickt hatte, und die Art, wie er jetzt vor sich hin sah, als sei niemand sonst zugegen. Bambi wußte nicht, was er tun sollte. Er war mit der festen Absicht herausgekommen, den Hirsch anzusprechen. Guten Morgen, hatte er sagen wollen, ich heiße Bambi... darf ich um Ihren werten Namen bitten? Jawohl! Er hatte sich das sehr einfach vorgestellt, und nun zeigte es sich, daß die Sache doch nicht so einfach war. Was half da die beste Absicht? Bambi wollte nicht gerne ungezogen sein, und das war er, wenn er hier herauskam, ohne ein Wort zu sagen. Er wollte auch nicht zudringlich sein, und das war er, wenn er zu reden anfing. Der Hirsch stand empörend majestätisch da. Bambi war hingerissen und fühlte sich gedemütigt. Vergebens suchte er sich aufzurütteln und wiederholte immer wieder nur den einen Gedanken: Warum lasse ich mich denn einschüchtern..? Ich bin gerade so viel wie er... gerade so viel wie er! Es half nichts. Bambi blieb eingeschüchtert und spürte es im Grunde seines Wesens, daß er doch nicht gerade so viel sei. Lange nicht. Ihm war jämmerlich zumut, und er brauchte seine ganze Kraft, um einigermaßen Haltung zu bewahren. Der Hirsch sah ihn an und dachte: Er ist reizend... er ist wirklich entzückend... so hübsch... so zierlich... so fein in seinem ganzen Benehmen... Aber ich darf ihn nicht so anstarren. Das schickt sich wirklich nicht. Außerdem könnte es ihn auch in Verlegenheit bringen. Und er schaute wieder über Bambi weg ins Leere. Dieser hochmütige Blick! stellte Bambi fest. Es ist unerträglich, was so einer sich einbildet! Der Hirsch dachte: Ich möchte gerne mit ihm sprechen... er ist so sympathisch... wie dumm, daß man nie miteinander redet! Und er blickte nachdenklich vor sich hin. Ich bin Luft für ihn, sagte Bambi, diese Sippe tut immer, als sei sie ganz allein auf der Welt! Aber was soll ich zu ihm sagen..? überlegte der Hirsch, ... ich habe keine Übung... ich werde eine Dummheit sagen und mich lächerlich machen... denn er ist gewiß sehr klug. Bambi nahm sich zusammen und sah den Hirsch fest an. Wie prächtig er ist! dachte er verzweifelt. Nun... vielleicht ein andermal... entschloß sich schließlich der Hirsch und ging unzufrieden, aber herrlich davon. Bambi blieb verbittert zurück.”
