“Running is many things to me: survival, calmness, euphoria, solitude. It is proof of my corporeal existence, my ability to control my movement through space if not time, and the obedience, however temporary, of my body to my will. As I run I displace air, and things come and go around me, and the path moves like a filmstrip beneath my feet.” IfsBodyRunningMovingAbilitySpaceExistencePathAirFeetMovementSolitudeSurvivalProofObedienceTemporaryCalmnessComes And GoesEuphoria Book:The Time Traveler's Wife Source: The Time Traveler's Wife
“Solitude is not a way of running away from life ... from our feelings. On the contrary. This is the time we sort them out, air them, get over them, and go on without the burden of yesterday.” WayFeelingsRunningAirGoes OnSolitudeBurdenContraryYesterdayRunning AwayGet Over Author:Joan D. Chittister
“To dream magnificently is not a gift given to all men, and even for those who possess it, it runs a strong risk of being progressively diminished by the ever-growing dissipation of modern life and by the restlessness engendered by material progress. The ability to dream is a divine and mysterious ability; because it is through dreams that man communicates with the shadowy world which surrounds him. But this power needs solitude to develop freely; the more one concentrates, the more one is likely to dream fully, deeply.” MenWorldNeedsDreamRunningStrongGivenAbilityGrowingProgressRiskModernDivineMaterialsSolitudeCommunicateMysteriousSurroundModern LifeRestlessnessDissipation Author:Charles Baudelaire
“In good company your thoughts run, in solitude your thought is still ... In talk your mind can be stretched, widened, exhilarated to heights, but it cannot be deepened; you have to deepen it yourself.” ThinkingMindStillsRunningCompanySolitudeHeightGood Company Book:Rungli-Rungliot means in Paharia, Thus far and no further Source: Rungli-Rungliot means in Paharia, Thus far and no further
“So the only environment the artist needs is whatever peace, whatever solitude, and whatever pleasure he can get at not too high a cost. All the wrong environment will do is run his blood pressure up; he will spend more time being frustrated or outraged. My own experience has been that the tools I need for my trade are paper, tobacco, food, and a little whiskey.” NeedsLittlesHas BeensRunningArtistMy OwnPleasureEnvironmentBloodCostSolitudePaperToolsPressureTradeMore TimeFrustratedTobaccoWhiskeyOutragedBlood PressureBeing Frustrated Author:William Faulkner
