~ Ruth Doan MacDougall
everything happens because of your karma, which is a kind of subtle energy that you cause by the stuff you do or say or even just think
~ Ruth Ozeki
We're in a transient state - why hate our present selves? Let's save the energy for when we are eighty, when we are perhaps above, or beyond, changing. Then we can hate, if hate we must.
~ Ruth Reichl
I love all these people; they have so much passion. They're a little bit crazy, but they use their craziness for their business. They live right.
~ Ruth Reichl
It was a face that instantly robbed those who gazed upon it of a good thirty percent of the energy they needed to go on living.
~ Ry? Murakami
I've wondered about that before, why is it that so much Korean food is spicy? Korea has an incredibly rich culture, but history has been cruel to the people ... But no matter how bad your situation is, you need to eat. And spicy food is a powerful ally when your reserves of courage and energy are low because it stimulates your appetite.
~ Ry? Murakami
Time appears as a result of our actions, and vanishes when we neglect or ignore it. It is something that springs into life under our influence, but falls into a state of hibernation, even nonexistence, if we do not direct our energy toward it. It is subservient, passive essence, and most importantly, one dependent on man. The absolute opposite of time as it is understood in the European worldview.
~ Ryszard Kapu?ci?ski
Gradually, the nations living in this cradle of mankind, having created great, monumental civilizations, as if exhausted by the superhuman effort, or perhaps even crushed by the immensity of what they had brought forth and no longer capable of further developing it, handed over the reins to younger peoples, bursting with energy and eager to live. Europe will come on the scene and, later, America.
~ Ryszard Kapu?ci?ski
Czas pojawia siÄ™ w wyniku naszego dziaÅ'ania, a znika, kiedy go zaniechamy albo w ogóle nie podejmiemy. Jest to materia, która pod naszym wpÅ'ywem mo?e zawsze o?y?, ale popadnie w stan hibernacji i nawet niebytu, je?eli nie udzielimy jej naszej energii. Czas jest istnoÅ›ciÄ… biernÄ…, pasywnÄ… i przede wszystkim – zale?nÄ… od czÅ'owieka.
~ Ryszard Kapu?ci?ski
The next four girls were led from the wall into the centre, where the red blended with the blue and settled into a respectable purple. Again the couples began absorbedly describing circles on the village-hall concrete to the beat of the song that the scrawny singer was enthusiastically belting out
~ Ryszard Kapu?ci?ski
It is impossible to exist without passion
~ Soren Kierkegaard
Because of the a priori element in intention, good intentions are so tempting - compared with a successive unfolding in time - and have so often in them some narcotic which develops an inner gaze instead of a resilience that begets energy.
~ Soren Kierkegaard
which she had spent long and happy hours releasing from their shells, with crazy dedication, because the shelling of pine-kernels is a form of lunacy, you spend more energy getting the damn things out than they give you when you eat.
~ Salman Rushdie
False encouragement is a kind of theft: it steals time, energy, and motivation a person could put toward some other purpose.
~ Sam Harris
We live in a world of unimaginable surprises - from the fusion energy that lights the sun to the genetic and evolutionary consequences of this light's dancing for eons upon the earth - and yet paradise conforms to our most superficial concerns with all the fidelity of a Caribbean cruise. This is wondrously strange. If one didn't know better, one would think that man, in his fear of losing all that he loves, had created heaven, along with its gatekeeper God, in his own image.
~ Sam Harris
Ethical transgressions are generally divided into two categories: the bad things we do (acts of commission) and the good things we fail to do (acts of omission). We tend to judge the former far more harshly. The origin of this imbalance remains a mystery, but it surely relates to the value we place on a person's energy and intent.
~ Sam Harris
I love sport because I love life, and sport is one of the basic joys of life.

~ Karlie Kloss
