“The coexistence of opposites - stillness and dynamism - makes you independent... When you quietly acknowledge this exquisite coexistence of opposites, you align yourself with the world of energy - the quantum soup, the non-material non-stuff that is the source of the material world. This world energy is fluid, dynamic, resilient, changing, forever in motion. And yet it is also non-changing, still, quiet, eternal and silent.” WorldStillsEnergyStuffForeverThis WorldMaterialsSourceQuietEternalOppositesIndependentSilentAcknowledgeStillnessQuantumSoupExquisiteFluidResilientCoexistenceMaterial WorldDynamism Author:Deepak Chopra
“Andrew Preston and I moved to Florida, to get some air. Am I going to live there forever? No, I'm not. But I have a warehouse, all white, concrete floors, a big, big space with very high ceilings and nothing inside. And that's where I go to work, and I like that because I just like to be alone and quiet. Is it explainable as a typical fashion designer? No. But am I a typical fashion designer? I don't think so.” ThinkingForeverFashionQuietMovedDesignerConcreteFashion Designer Author:Tomas Maier
“I really would like to stop working forever–never work again, never do anything like the kind of work I’m doing now–and do nothing but write poetry and have leisure to spend the day outdoors and go to museums and see friends. And I’d like to keep living with someone — maybe even a man — and explore relationships that way. And cultivate my perceptions, cultivate the visionary thing in me. Just a literary and quiet city-hermit existence.” MenWayWritingKindCitiesExistenceForeverQuietPerceptionMuseumsLeisureVisionariesHermits Author:Allen Ginsberg
“I am in need of music that would flow Over my fretful, feeling finger-tips, Over my bitter-tainted, trembling lips, With melody, deep, clear, and liquid-slow. Oh, for the healing swaying, old and low, Of some song sung to rest the tired dead, A song to fall like water on my head, And over quivering limbs, dream flushed to glow! There is a magic made by melody: A spell of rest, and quiet breath, and cool Heart, that sinks through fading colors deep To the subaqueous stillness of the sea, And floats forever in a moon-green pool, Held in the arms of rhythm and of sleep.” NeedsHeartMadeFeelingsDreamSongFallWaterSleepHealingForeverClearMagicSeaColorArmsQuietMoonLowsFlowBreathsGreenTiredFingersLipsBitterRhythmMelodySpellsPoolStillnessLimbsFloatsLiquidTremblingFadingTaintedSwaying Book:Elizabeth Bishop: Poems, Prose, and Letters Source: Elizabeth Bishop: Poems, Prose, and Letters

“There you'll find the place I love most in the world. The place where I grew thin from dreaming. My village, rising from the plain. Shaded with trees and leaves like a piggy bank filled with memories. You'll see why a person would want to live there forever. Dawn, morning, mid-day, night: all the same, except for the changes in the air. The air changes the color of things there. And life whirs by as quiet as a murmur...the pure murmuring of life.” WorldWantPersonsDreamNightMemoriesMorningForeverAirTreeColorGrewPureQuietFilledDawnRisingVillageMurmuringPiggyDay NightPiggy Bank Author:Juan Rulfo

“She was getting used to his rhythms and his moods, recognizing the quiet signals that telegraphed who he was. Good and bad, strengths and faults, he was hers forever. As she pulled into the driveway, she spotted Logan coming down the steps from the house, and she waved. She was his forever, too—imperfect as she was. Take it or leave it, she thought.

“To me a good book is like a quiet friend—a friend who’s happy to share thoughts and feelings with you, who’s always there when you need them. Best of all, this friend doesn’t have any secrets. They trust you to understand them. They take you to their innermost places. They share their sensations and emotions—and they let you experience them. Wherever you go and however you feel, they are always by your side. For an hour, a day, a week, or forever, their life becomes yours. Their story is your story. That’s the kind of book I’m trying to write.” NeedsFeelsWritingTryingKindBookStoriesFeelingsSidesHoursSecretEmotionForeverWeekShareQuietSensationsGood BookYour SideThoughts And Feelings Author:Kevin Brooks
“You're wrong," I told her. "I lost that faith a long time ago." She looked at me as I said this, an expression of quiet understanding on her face. "Maybe you didn't, though," she said softly. "Lose it, I mean." "Lissa." "No, just hear me out." She looked out at the road for a second, then back at me. "Maybe, you just misplaced it, you know? It's been there. But you just haven't been looking in the right spot. Because lost means forever, it's gone. But misplaced... that means it's still around, somewhere.
