Once I began doing stand-up, I didn't get a kick out of the applause or being the centre of attention; but I did get a kick out of the jigsaw puzzle aspect of it, searching for the right bit, adding another few pieces each night until the bigger picture appears. That's the appeal: the challenge of it. ~Stephen Merchant

#proverbs #osmanli-proverbs

There is a very simple secret to being happy. Just let go of your "demand" on this moment. Any time you have a demand on the moment to give you something or remove something, there is suffering. You are arguing with "what is." Your demands keep you chained to the "dream state" of the conditioned mind. The desire to "control" is, ultimately, our unwillingness to just be awake. ~Adyashanti
#quotes #adyashanti #happiness

This world is run by people who know how to do things. They know how things work. They are equipped. Up there, there is a layer of people who run everything. But we, we are just peasants. We do not understand what is going on, and we cannot do anything. ~Doris Lessing

Remember that children, marriages, and flower gardens reflect the kind of care they get. ~H. Jackson Brown Jr.
#quotes #h-jackson-brown-jr #children #marriage #gardening

To laugh is to risk appearing a fool. To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. To reach out to another is to risk involvement. To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self. To place your ideas and dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss. To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure. But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. ~William Arthur Ward

If you want happiness for a lifetime, help someone else. ~Chinese Proverb

What if loving something means you should mostly feel frustrated and thwarted? And then a little ruined, too, by the pursuit? But you keep coming back for more? ~Chang-Rae Lee
#quotes #chang-rae-lee #love

I have been, or seemed, hard with everyone because I was carried away by a sort of brutality born of my distrust in myself and my ill-humor. I have felt so badly equipped, so soft, in spite of the fact that my attitude towards art seemed to me so just. I was disgusted with everyone, and especially myself. ~Edgar Degas
#quotes #edgar-degas #art #attitude

The recognition of the art that informs all pure science need not mean the abandonment for it of all present art, rather it will mean the completion of the transformation of art that has already begun. ~John Desmond Bernal
#quotes #john-desmond-bernal #art #science

I was labeled a troublemaker, my mom an unfit mother, and I was not welcome anywhere. ~Ryan White
#quotes #ryan-white

If you're serious, you really understand that it's important that you laugh as much as possible and admit that you're the funniest person you ever met. You have to laugh. Admit that you're funny. Otherwise, you die in solemnity. ~Maya Angelou
