Restfulness Quotes

“Meditation is not a task to perform but allowing the thinking engine to take rest. In the restfulness of the thinking engine eternity arises.”
― Amit Ray, Meditation: Insights and Inspirations

“I’m in no hurry to do anything. I’ll probably lie here for the rest of the day. (Great term, that, ‘rest of the day’.)”
― Fennel Hudson, A Waterside Year: Fennel's Journal No. 2

“just find your way, like a river settling into its bed, and the sigh of the wind over a lake, light but restful... content with the joy in the arc of an arm throwing a ball for a dog to fetch”
― Jay Woodman

“Peaceful roads are for the unpeaceful minds; restful attracts the unrestful; the empty streets of tranquillity pull the anxious souls towards itself!”
― Mehmet Murat ildan

“There are times when everything wearies us, including what we would normally find restful. Wearisome things weary us by definition, restful things by the wearying thought of procuring them. There are dejections of the soul past all anxiety and pain; I believe they're known only by those who elude human pains and anxieties and are sufficiently diplomatic with themselves to avoid even tedium. Reduced, in this way, to beings armoured against the world, it's no wonder that at a certain point in their self-awareness the whole set of armour should suddenly weigh on them and life become an inverted anxiety, a pain not suffered.”
― Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet
