Shoulders Quotes

“It is not Atlas who carries the world on his shoulders, but woman; and sometimes she plays with it as with a ball.”
― Henryk Sienkjewicz

“Relaxing the shoulders is vital for relaxation in general. However, owing to the effects of gravity, relaxation is problematic unless we let the shoulders remain in their natural place. Let the shoulders drop, or settle in harmony with gravity, into their most comfortable position. It isn’t too difficult to do this for a moment, but to sustain this condition unconsciously in our lives is another matter. We raise our shoulders unnaturally when we lean on a desk or hold the telephone between our shoulders and ears, when we are shocked by a loud noise, and who knows how many other times throughout the day. And the unsettling of the shoulders doesn’t have to be large to produce anxiety, stiff necks, and headaches. Just slightly raising them will create tension, and this tension throws the nervous system out of balance.

When do we raise the shoulders in daily life? What are we feeling at that moment and leading up to that moment? Remembering that the body reflects the mind, and that the raising of the shoulders not only creates tension but also is a physical manifestation of psychological tension itself, what are the roots of this tension? Bringing the mind into the moment, let’s observe ourselves in a state free of preconceived ideas or beliefs. Don’t guess at these questions. Observe yourself in relationship to others and the universe”
― H.E. Davey, Japanese Yoga: The Way of Dynamic Meditation

“Can we share my eyes
so you can see what I see?
Can we share my ears
so you can hear what I hear?
Can you perch on my shoulders
so you can go where I go?
Always in my heart,
I don’t experience anything separate from you.
This shared wonderment becomes doubled.
This shared love becomes infinite.”
― Kamand Kojouri

“Yesterday, she shed tears, keeping her head on my shoulders. And I think she's not going to be fine because I know she won't. Because a couple of years back, I wasn't.
And when you know that you've fallen hard on a cold ground and are still lying there, what do you tell others who are taking the fall?
You close your eyes. You accept to lie there a little longer.

But I lie on my bed now, and it's a little too warm today.”
― Sanhita Baruah

“Imagine, if you will:
Meradinis!
The stuff myths are made of! The Turtle Island of the stars – home planet to the fearsome and once legendary Corsairs. The very name of this world immediately grabbed the imaginations of young boys and girls, and universally mesmerize dreamers and romantics alike. The truth though was less romantic – and as reality so often demonstrates in real life - instead rather ugly and brutal. The Corsairs were not corn-ball comics that went about with parrots on their shoulders, saying “Arr!” to everything they encountered. They were anything but. Behind the Corsairs and their culture lay a history fraught with a struggle to survive, a vengefulness and a cruelty – and a drive to survive by preying upon others that struck fear into the hearts of neighboring fringe worlds.”
― Christina Engela, Dead Beckoning

“Remember, having a good head on our shoulders is not just for decoration purposes”

“I close my eyes and say a prayer,
That tonight you’ll be held.
I lift you up to the spare pair
Of shoulders that can’t be felled.

Tonight, as you sleep,
I pray your worries are wiped away.
May you wake up and not weep,
For joy will come in the day.

Let the bridge cover your worries,
Let the rain wash away the fear.
Let the shoulders hold your furies.
Let the sunshine bring you cheer.

Shoulders holding you high.
Arms shielding you from danger.
May you never have to cry,
On top of the mountainous glacier.”
― Rachel Nicole Wagner, Yesterday's Coffee

“She'd fallen in love with him walking away, that first night he'd come to call. She'd told him it would be a cold day in hell before she went on a date with the likes of him, and he'd shrugged those broad, square shoulders and told her he'd be back. That he'd get her, one way or the other. And he'd walked away. She'd fallen in love.”
