Way Of Living Quotes

“Our “identity” may fascinate us because it ensures continuity throughout time, as we discern it from external signs, tuition, or heritage. When inner tensions run out of control, though, it can be that our “character” exceeds all boundaries. If we succeed in mastering the pressure that destroys the ramparts of our inner world, we can create a pattern, a way of living, that molds the outlines of our identity, combining the unavoidable daily “musts” with the fluency of the enlightening unsuspected “moments,” allowing us to soar on the flow of the soothing waves of our vibrating feelgood experience. ("Looking for the unexpected")”
― Erik Pevernagie

“We do well to be our paramount ‘significant one’. Being our best friend entails respecting ourselves, recognizing our way of living and accepting what we are and how we are. It can give us the power to understand and appreciate the others. ("Being my best friend").”
― Erik Pevernagie

“It’s not my wish to walk intoxicated; to live for never is not my choice.”

“In Japan, a number of time-honored everyday activities (such as making tea, arranging flowers, and writing) have traditionally been deeply examined by their proponents. Students study how to make tea, perform martial arts, or write with a brush in the most skillful way possible to express themselves with maximum efficiency and minimum strain. Through this efficient, adroit, and creative performance, they arrive at art. But if they continue to delve even more deeply into their art, they discover principles that are truly universal, principles relating to life itself. Then, the art of brush writing becomes shodo—the “Way of the brush”—while the art of arranging flowers is elevated to the status of kado—the “Way of flowers.” Through these Ways or Do forms, the Japanese have sought to realize the Way of living itself. They have approached the universal through the particular.”

“I jerked my chin toward Frost’s body. ‘All that is required for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing.’
Hao said, “Life is not safe. A man might spend his whole time on earth staying safe in a basement, and in the end, he still dies like everyone else.” Half-naked, covered with the same filth we all were, he still gave the impression of being in control of himself and his environment.”
― Patricia Briggs, Frost Burned

“Most folks got Id and Ego living on different floors in their head’s house, in different rooms, and they’ve locked all the doors between them, and nailed sheets of plywood over that, because they think they’re, like, sworn enemies that can’t hang together.
Ro thought the whole subconscious/conscious issue had something to do with why I am the way I am. She said I have the neurological condition synesthesia out the ass, with all kinds of cross regions of my brain talking to each other. Old witch was always psychoanalyzing me (as in she was the psycho and I was being analyzed). She said my Id and Ego are best buds, they don’t just live on the same floor, they share a bed.
I’m cool with that. Frees up space for other stuff.
I take off, tune out, and do what I do best.
Kill.”
― Karen Marie Moning, Iced

“Als je zo dichtbevolkt woont, komen de muren op je af en wil je niet thuiskomen, daar weet ik alles van. Maar als u dacht dat het niet erger kon, hebt u het mis; onze Marokkaanse buren leven met zes kinderen in een even klein huis. In een van de twee slaapkamers hebben ze twee stapelbedden en de twee kleinste kinderen slapen op de bank, die ze omtoveren tot een bed als Allah Zijn deken over de hemels spreidt. Dat is overigens geen uitzondering, de meeste gezinnen van Noord-Afrikaanse variëteit in onze wijk hebben minimaal vier kinderen en wonen op dezelfde manier. De Turken hebben meestal twee of drie kinderen, maar die hebben het desalniettemin ook krap, aangezien de Marokkaanse manier van wonen niet als referentiekader dient. Alles is natuurlijk relatief, maar dat zij kiezen voor gezinsomvangen uit de tafel van zes en ademruimte genoeg vinden om te leven, wil niet zeggen dat wij minder recht van klagen hebben.”

“Wegens de krapte zijn de meeste kinderen en jongeren geneigd om veel, talrijk en langdurig op straat te hangen, anders kibbelen ze met de divisie thuis, ledigheid is immers des duivels oorkussen, of ondervinden ze hinder van de ouders die ongevraagd je kamer binnenstormen (kloppen doen we niet aan bij ons, privacy evenmin) en vervolgens jou voor klaagmuur aanzien en beginnen te raaskallen over alles waar ze hun ei of zaad over kwijt moeten, meestal familiaire aangelegenheden, financieel noodweer, huwelijks gesodemieter, en anders over eventuele rommel in je kamer. Ze komen je vragen om de post voor ze te vertalen en allerlei formulieren in te vullen en worden ook nog boos en verwijtend als je dat niet kunt, zelfs al ben je nog kind. Ze eisen dat je naar de moskee gaat op vrijdag, vragen waarom je niet bidt, vragen wat je kijkt op de telefoon, vragen waarom je lacht als je op je beeldscherm kijkt, vragen met wie je belt en waarom dat klinkt als de stem van iemand van het andere geslacht of ze produceren gewoon heel veel geluid terwijl ze videobellen met familieleden, zowel uit het buiten- als binnenland, terwijl jij je moet concentreren op je huiswerk of gewoon niet blootgesteld wilt worden aan dat oeverloze gezwatel. Het ergste van alles is als er mensen onthaald worden en de visite zo lang blijft zetelen dat je je afvraagt of ze van plan zijn te blijven tukken. En dat gebeurt nogal frequent; op elk moment van de week kunnen ze ongegeneerd komen aankloppen en blijven tot je ze afwimpelt door opzichtig te gapen. Men zegt dat bezoek en vis drie dagen fris blijven, daar hadden ze bij de Turken nog geen notie van genomen. Of ze namen die drie dagen letterlijk.”

“Although my program uses the word yoga in its name, this is not the yoga we know from Western health clubs and fitness studios: which, to quote the wise words of another guru, "took a practice that is about the spirit and the heart, and made it about the butt."
The yogic and meditative practices of my tradition encompass every limb of yoga - not just the physical aspect but also the emotional, cognitive and interpersonal aspects. The yoga I teach is a therapeutic yoga, a practice of living life - not merely a way to improve your posture and physical flexibility.”
― Ishan Shivanand
