Experiencing Life Quotes

“From all that I saw,
and everywhere I wandered,
I learned that time cannot be spent,
It only can be squandered.”
― Roman Payne, Rooftop Soliloquy

“The very fact that you're aware of suffering is enough reason to be overjoyed that you're alive and can experience it.”
― Bob Ross, Happy Little Accidents: The Wit and Wisdom of Bob Ross

“Meditation is experiencing the life not just from the surface but from the source.”
― Amit Ray, Meditation: Insights and Inspirations

“To the poet,
Every act is poetry;
From cutting the grass,
To cleaning a headstone.
From walking,
To breathing.

Every act is something worth holding
In the mind’s eye and letting go
Onto paper or into the imperfect
Reflective stream of memory.

Every act done simply,
Reminding them of their place here
And the impermanence
Of experience and of the moment.

No matter the situation,
“Yes, and this too is beautiful.”
Is the mantra.”
― Eric Overby, Legacy

“Experiencing life with your whole heart will not only bring more of what you desire but often it will surpass what you could have imagined!”
― Heidi Reagan

“I want to see everything now. And while none of it will be me when it goes in, after a while it'll all gather together inside and it'll be me. Look at the world out there, my God, my God, look at it out there, outside me, out there beyond my face and the only way to really touch it is to put it where it's finally me, where it's in the blood, where it pumps around a thousand times ten thousand a day. I get hold of it so it'll never run off. I'll hold on to the world tight some day. I've got one finger on it now; that's a beginning.”
― Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

“You don't have to jump down from a cliff to learn some thing from the cliff; just come close to the edge of it! Apply this idea to life too! Respect your existence and don't get caught up in the madness of trying to experience everything!”
― Mehmet Murat ildan

“Reading about Istanbul, or looking at pictures, does not prepare you for the experience of walking along the Bosphorus and in winding cobbled streets, smelling the kebab, being invited in by kind strangers to join them for apple tea. Similarly, reading about the rainforest, watching documentaries that are well researched and beautifully shot, does not prepare you for the experience of having toucans fly overhead in the understory, the deep beat of their wings a slow rhythm in the jangled cacophony. The rainforest documentary does not prepare you for the red eye shine of spiders at night, the suction of deep mud on your boots, the deep dark green of it all.

Strangely, it is also true that actually being in the rainforest does not fully prepare you for being in the rainforest, by which I mean, the experience is never the same twice. That is part of why it is so alluring to some of us”
