One of the things I’m trying to do over and over again in my books is create new mythologies, create new ways to understand the complexity of the world.

187
As between mileage and experience choose experience.
188

189
190
191

195
196

198
199

In my experience, it is rarer to find a really happy person in a circle of millionaires than among vagabonds.

210
Producing is just a big learning experience.
211

223
One nice thing about the benefit of long experience with la frontera is that we in Texas don’t have to run around getting all hysterical about immigrants. The border is porous. When you want cheap labor, you open it up; when you don’t, you shut it down. It works to our benefit – it always has.
224
225
Experience, as a desire for experience, does not come off. We must not study ourselves while having an experience.

247
Experience is what you get while looking for something else.
248

I probably hold the distinction of being one movie star who, by all laws of logic, should never have made it. At each stage of my career, I lacked the experience.
252
Romantic love can be terrifying. We experience another human being as enormously important to us. So there is surrender – not a surrender to the other person so much as to our feeling for the other person. What is the obstacle? The possibility of loss.
253
254
255
256
257
258
259
260
A man who carries a cat by the tail learns something he can learn in no other way.
261
The psychology of sport is so important. When you are standing at the crease, in front of a stadium full of people, it’s a pretty intense experience. So you need to have the psychological tools to control your mind and deliver your best performance.
262
We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.
263
264

268
Experience is something you don’t get until just after you need it.
269
To write our constitution is for the past, the present, and the future to come together all at once in one single motion, in one single heave, one single cry. For we correct the errors of the past and chart a new course for the future, based on the experience of the present.
270
It’s always a learning experience every time I’m on set.
271
272
273
Building a bridge, in my opinion, is a symbolic gesture, linked with the needs of people who cross over it, and with the idea of overcoming or surmounting obstacles.

274
275

280
281
282
283
That experience with ‘Rent’ went by so fast. I was younger. I didn’t even really know what opening night was.

284
A failure is a man who has blundered, but is not able to cash in the experience.
285
I go by instinct – I don’t worry about experience.
286

287
288
289
After marriage, every woman wants to settle down and have children. I have no regrets. I was occupied in my little world, enjoying each and every experience that came my way.

291
292
My ultimate aim is to make euthanasia a positive experience.
293

294
When I’m writing, I’m constantly thinking about myself, because it’s the only experience I have to draw on. And I don’t see an exact reflection of myself in every face in the audience, but I know that my songs have validity to them, and that’s why the fans are there.
295
My experiences have taught me a lot and I’m happy with my learnings, if not with what I went through to learn.
296

300
Missionary work has never been easy, and yet the joyful rewards cannot be equaled by any other experience.

302

308
309
I’m not there to tailor the role to me: I’m there to tailor me to the role. That guarantees me something, a precious thing, which is creativity. I’m guaranteed that I will have a creative experience, because I will go to it, not demand that it comes to me.

Most of the images of reality on which we base our actions are really based on vicarious experience.
321
322
Everything you do, every experience that you have, enlightens you a little bit or worsens you.
323
324
The spirituality that I experience sometimes touches on religion, in that I resonate with the thread of continuity that permeates through all religions. But in terms of it being a concretized, organized part of my life, it’s not.
325
I believe that curiosity, wonder and passion are defining qualities of imaginative minds and great teachers; that restlessness and discontent are vital things; and that intense experience and suffering instruct us in ways that less intense emotions can never do.
326
327
I think in a lot of romantic comedies it ends with a kiss, and I feel like in modern day relationships, and maybe just my own experience, it starts with a kiss and then all sort of falls apart and then comes together. You’re texting. You’re wondering what’s going on. There’s no definitions, there’s no labels.
328
Literature overtakes history, for literature gives you more than one life. It expands experience and opens new opportunities to readers.
329
330
331
Experience teaches us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the government’s purposes are beneficent.
332
We deem those happy who from the experience of life have learnt to bear its ills without being overcome by them.
333
I started out really young, when I was four, five, six, writing poems, before I could play an instrument. I was writing about things when I was eight or 10 years old that I hadn’t lived long enough to experience. That’s why I also believe in reincarnation, that we were put here with ideas to pass around.
334
The connection to place, to the land, the wind, the sun, stars, the moon… it sounds romantic, but it’s true – the visceral experience of motion, of moving through time on some amazing machine – a few cars touch on it, but not too many compared to motorcycles. I always felt that any motorcycle journey was special.
335
Experience does not err. Only your judgments err by expecting from her what is not in her power.
336
From my own experience, I want to say that you should follow your heart, and the mind will follow you. Believe in yourself, and you will create miracles.
337
The whole world, as we experience it visually, comes to us through the mystic realm of color.
338
Experience is a great advantage. The problem is that when you get the experience, you’re too damned old to do anything about it.
339
When AI approximates Machine Intelligence, then many online and computer-run RPGs will move towards actual RPG activity. Nonetheless, that will not replace the experience of ‘being there,’ any more than seeing a theatrical motion picture can replace the stage play.
340
341
Playing on the Burj Al Arab helipad was an unforgettable experience, and the view of Dubai was incredible.
342
Experience teaches us that we do not always receive the blessings we ask for in prayer.
343
If I wanted to play soccer, I’d step out on that soccer field like I’m the best soccer player. Even though I don’t have that much experience, I always try to have that type of confidence in myself just to make people believe it.
344
Follow that will and that way which experience confirms to be your own.
345
I had an amazing experience working with great people. I had a great family, a typical family with drama in certain areas, and that’s pretty much everywhere in everyone’s life.
346
It was a great learning experience to work with all the stalwarts associated with ‘Beyond the Clouds.’ It’s indeed a strong team to be working with.
347
The experience of using a Rolleiflex camera is very different than using a SLR.
348
The best wisdom is earned through experience, particularly mistakes.
349
350
Everything is a learning experience.
351
Parents lend children their experience and a vicarious memory; children endow their parents with a vicarious immortality.
352
The main thing experience has taught me is that one has to sort of hone their relationship to time, you know.
353
If we are faithful to God in little things, we shall gain experience and strength that will be helpful to us in the more serious trials of life.
354
355
Experience praises the most happy the one who made the most people happy.
356
357
It’s an interesting combination: Having a great fear of being alone, and having a desperate need for solitude and the solitary experience. That’s always been a tug of war for me.
358
But inner experience is only one source of human knowledge.
359
360
I know that I’m just a spirit. I’m just a soul living a human experience. You come here for a purpose. So, once you acknowledge that and acknowledge that God put you here for a reason, I feel like you gotta fulfill that as much as possible.
361
Jiro Ono serves Edo-style traditional sushi, the same 20 or 30 pieces he’s been making his whole life, and he’s still unsatisfied with the quality and every day wakes up and trains to make the best. And that is as close to a religious experience in food as one is likely to get.
362
I understand now that the vulnerability I’ve always felt is the greatest strength a person can have. You can’t experience life without feeling life. What I’ve learned is that being vulnerable to somebody you love is not a weakness, it’s a strength.
363
Karma, memory, and desire are just the software of the soul. It’s conditioning that the soul undergoes in order to create experience. And it’s a cycle. In most people, the cycle is a conditioned response. They do the same things over and over again.
364
One of the best things – and something I’m grateful for every time I walk onto a film set – is my six and a half years on Dawson’s Creek and the experience it afforded me in how to get comfortable with the camera.
365
I speak to the black experience, but I am always talking about the human condition.
366
Science is a way of life. Science is a perspective. Science is the process that takes us from confusion to understanding in a manner that’s precise, predictive and reliable – a transformation, for those lucky enough to experience it, that is empowering and emotional.
367
The experience of God, or in any case the possibility of experiencing God, is innate.
368
Shooting for ‘Paathshaala’ was a good experience. I learnt a lot.
369
Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.
370
I have worked on Wall Street and on Bay Street. I started a charity and I’ve been doing it while raising four children. And I think that’s the kind of experience people want to see from their political leaders. It’s real life experience.
371
372
I love just getting to experience the different types of fans and getting to perform in front of thousands of people every night; that is icing on the cake for me. That is the fun.
373
You can’t build any kind of organization if you’re not going to surround yourself with people who have experience and skill base beyond your own.
374
Life is the art of drawing without an eraser.
375
376
If history repeats itself, and the unexpected always happens, how incapable must Man be of learning from experience.
377
In order to experience everyday spirituality, we need to remember that we are spiritual beings spending some time in a human body.
378
Theaters are always going to be around, and doing fine. With computers and technology, we’re becoming more and more secluded from each other. And the movie theater is one of the last places where we can still gather and experience something together. I don’t think the desire for that magic will ever go away.
379
Gratitude bestows reverence, allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies, those transcendent moments of awe that change forever how we experience life and the world.
380
You cannot create experience. You must undergo it.
381
It really is a fact that liberals are much higher than conservatives on a major personality trait called ‘openness to experience.’ People who are high on openness to experience just crave novelty, variety, diversity, new ideas, travel. People low on it like things that are familiar, that are safe and dependable.
382
The Louvre for me is a wonderful experience. Because it continues; it didn’t get cut off. It was actually a continuous involvement all the way, and a lot of people have come and gone, come and gone; but I’m still here.
383
I want to live and feel all the shades, tones, and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life. And I am horribly limited.
384
Genius is the ability to renew one’s emotions in daily experience.
385
I like a movie that brings out many discussions. From my experience, every time I have done movies, they create this kind of situation. Like ‘Irreversible,’ ‘The Passion of the Christ,’ ‘Malena’; it’s so interesting. I like to explore the dark side of humanity. That’s why I’m an actor.
386
We must do our part to end poverty in Korea so that the next generation doesn’t experience what we are going through now.
387
‘Fallout 76’ is a very different ‘Fallout’ game. We’re very aware of that. We think a lot of people will like it, because we like it. But a lot of people probably won’t. We need to balance that. This is an idea we have, and there’s a lot of old ‘Fallout’ stuff in it, but it’s a very new experience.
388
I have never entered into any controversy in defense of my philosophical opinions; I leave them to take their chance in the world. If they are right, truth and experience will support them; if wrong, they ought to be refuted and rejected. Disputes are apt to sour one’s temper and disturb one’s quiet.
389
390
391
I made decisions that I regret, and I took them as learning experiences… I’m human, not perfect, like anybody else.
392
What a blessing that God allows a life to come through your body, and then allows you to place that body in a body bag and take it out. I had to say that there’s a magnificent something that God has for me to do, to give me that level of completion. That level of experience. It’s unspeakable.
393
To wear a floral shirt is an experience.
394
395
The experience of being on a show that is very much in the center of popular culture is exciting. You really feel like you’re reaching people.
396
397
I think art, especially literature, has the particular power to immerse the viewer or reader into another world. This is especially powerful in literature, when a reader lives the experience of the characters. So if the characters are human and real enough, then readers will feel empathy for them.
398
399
The traveler was active; he went strenuously in search of people, of adventure, of experience. The tourist is passive; he expects interesting things to happen to him. He goes ‘sight-seeing.’
400
401
402
403
Everything we do, every decision we make, is to ensure the best possible Airbnb experience for our community and grow the love.
404
I never give advice unless someone asks me for it. One thing I’ve learned, and possibly the only advice I have to give, is to not be that person giving out unsolicited advice based on your own personal experience.
405
As an artist, the more experience, the better the creation. I’m a very positive person.
406
Do you know the difference between education and experience? Education is when you read the fine print; experience is what you get when you don’t.
407
American history and the black experience are inextricable. And both are inextricable from policing. Far more often than not, that’s been a good thing.
408
When you have really exhausted an experience you always reverence and love it.
409
410
For me, life is about experience and being a good person.
411
My experience with songwriting is usually so confessional, it’s so drawn from my own life and my own stories.
412
413
I graduated with a Bachelors of Fine Art in Graphic Design, and all in all, I can look back on my collegiate experience and say that I really did enjoy myself.
414
415
But my experience is that people who have been through painful, difficult times are filled with compassion.
416
No man’s knowledge here can go beyond his experience.
417
There is no more lively sensation than that of pain; its impressions are certain and dependable, they never deceive as may those of the pleasure women perpetually feign and almost never experience.
418
The spectacles of experience; through them you will see clearly a second time.
419
Living, breathing, and being present is the practice that can lead us to having a full and authentic in-the-body experience. If we can shift our perspective from being separate to being part of it all, psychological hang-ups, insecurities, fears, and disorders dissolve.
420
There are some hurts that we experience that can be forgiven but we won’t forget them.
421
Painting what I experience, translating what I feel, is like a great liberation. But it is also work, self-examination, consciousness, criticism, struggle.
422
423
You have to experience life, make observations, and ask questions.
424
Any place that anyone can learn something useful from someone with experience is an educational institution.
425
I’ve been doing a lot of work on female rights, especially adolescent rights. I’ve been to a lot of schools where the UNICEF had set up villages in India, and it’s an eye-opening experience.
426
The beauty of dystopia is that it lets us vicariously experience future worlds – but we still have the power to change our own.
427
428
Loneliness is different than isolation and solitude. Loneliness is a subjective feeling where the connections we need are greater than the connections we have. In the gap, we experience loneliness. It’s distinct from the objective state of isolation, which is determined by the number of people around you.
429
430
The greatest gift is a passion for reading. It is cheap, it consoles, it distracts, it excites, it gives you knowledge of the world and experience of a wide kind. It is a moral illumination.
431
432
All that I know I learned after I was thirty.
433
I know it’s an experience that I need to have if God’s putting me through it.
434
Uber is efficiency with elegance on top. That’s why I buy an iPhone instead of an average cell phone, why I go to a nice restaurant and pay a little bit more. It’s for the experience.
435
I think what we’re attracted to on the page is something that is very difficult to do in life, which is to examine in what seems like a moment. To examine what we can’t do in life very well, which is to be as present and accountable to what an experience is. That’s why life is short and art is very long.
436
If you live long enough, you’ll experience everything.
437
Bill Clinton‘s foreign policy experience stems mainly from having breakfast at the International House of Pancakes.
438
Very often I’ve known people who wouldn’t say a word to each other, but they’d go to see movies together and experience life that way.
439
We’re so mixed up about religion in this culture. We say the Pledge of Allegiance, ‘under God indivisible,’ but there’s no prayer in the schools. I would be so untethered without my personal faith. I wouldn’t be able to go through a day – but that’s my own experience.
440
I am a woman in process. I’m just trying like everybody else. I try to take every conflict, every experience, and learn from it. Life is never dull.
441
Every outing is a learning experience.
442
I think everyone should experience defeat at least once during their career. You learn a lot from it.
443
444
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.
445
I’ve learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends on our dispositions and not on our circumstances.
446
The taste of defeat has a richness of experience all its own.
447
Men are wise in proportion, not to their experience, but to their capacity for experience.
448
449
I loved the college experience of studying.
450
451
The dictum that truth always triumphs over persecution is one of the pleasant falsehoods which men repeat after one another till they pass into commonplaces, but which all experience refutes.
452
At every step the child should be allowed to meet the real experience of life; the thorns should never be plucked from his roses.
453
Karma is experience, and experience creates memory, and memory creates imagination and desire, and desire creates karma again. If I buy a cup of coffee, that’s karma. I now have that memory that might give me the potential desire for having cappuccino, and I walk into Starbucks, and there’s karma all over again.
454
455
Information‘s pretty thin stuff unless mixed with experience.
456
457
The only source of knowledge is experience.
458
459
460
461
It’s always a wonderful experience to keep working.
462
463
Science means constantly walking a tightrope between blind faith and curiosity; between expertise and creativity; between bias and openness; between experience and epiphany; between ambition and passion; and between arrogance and conviction – in short, between an old today and a new tomorrow.
464
465
466
I’m afraid, based on my own experience, that fascism will come to America in the name of national security.
467
Experience: that most brutal of teachers. But you learn, my God do you learn.
468
Everyone has a purpose in life and a unique talent to give to others. And when we blend this unique talent with service to others, we experience the ecstasy and exultation of own spirit, which is the ultimate goal of all goals.
469
War is delightful to those who have had no experience of it.
470
That’s the magic of art and the magic of theatre: it has the power to transform an audience, an individual, or en masse, to transform them and give them an epiphanal experience that changes their life, opens their hearts and their minds and the way they think.
471
The responsibility of a writer is to excavate the experience of the people who produced him.
472
There’s a beauty to wisdom and experience that cannot be faked. It’s impossible to be mature without having lived.
473
474
475
Not the fruit of experience, but experience itself, is the end.
476
Loneliness is and always has been the central and inevitable experience of every man.
477
478
I have become more and more afraid about marriage and parenting. I think it’s because I am getting older. Of course, there will be a lot to learn, and I also know that the experience will help in my acting.
479
480
A lot of people think that addiction is a choice. A lot of people think it’s a matter of will. That has not been my experience. I don’t find it to have anything to do with strength.
481
You can’t get a job without experience and you can’t get experience until you have a job. Once you solve that problem you are home free.
482
Ordinary men are given the authority of the priesthood. Worthiness and willingness – not experience, expertise, or education – are the qualifications for priesthood ordination.
483
The belief that all genuine education comes about through experience does not mean that all experiences are genuinely or equally educative.
484
485
486
When my father died, I had a real experience with Christ, a real conversion with Christ and I had it in a Oneness church.
487
What each must seek in his life never was on land or sea. It is something out of his own unique potentiality for experience, something that never has been and never could have been experienced by anyone else.
488
The only thing we have learnt from experience is that we learn nothing from experience.
489
Experience has shown, and a true philosophy will always show, that a vast, perhaps the larger portion of the truth arises from the seemingly irrelevant.
490
It took me years to understand that words are often as important as experience, because words make experience last.
491
Our mission is to empower people to experience the world.
492
Being exposed to theory, stimulated by a basic love of concepts and mathematics, was a marvelous experience.
493
Unwearied ceaseless effort is the price that must be paid for turning faith into a rich infallible experience.
494
In a multicultural, diverse society there are countless ways in which people negotiate the everyday lived experience and reality of diversity.
495
I have found life an enjoyable, enchanting, active, and sometime terrifying experience, and I’ve enjoyed it completely. A lament in one ear, maybe, but always a song in the other.
496
497
498
Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.
499
My greatest disappointment is that I believe that those of us who went through the war and tried to write about it, about their experience, became messengers. We have given the message, and nothing changed.
500
If you think of human experience as a pie, then the wedge Hollywood is reflecting now is getting smaller and smaller.
501
Surfing soothes me, it’s always been a kind of Zen experience for me. The ocean is so magnificent, peaceful, and awesome. The rest of the world disappears for me when I’m on a wave.
502
503
504
505
Be brave. Take risks. Nothing can substitute experience.
506
507
508
509
Wealth is the ability to fully experience life.
510
We owned what we learned back there; the experience and the growth are grafted into our lives.
511
By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.
512
When you come together with your other half, you immediately experience a sense of wholeness and completeness.
513
Dining should be a delightful and a beautiful experience.
514
515
Bitter experience has taught us how fundamental our values are and how great the mission they represent.
516
When I figured out how to work my grill, it was quite a moment. I discovered that summer is a completely different experience when you know how to grill.
517
518
519
520
521
You don’t cheat anybody out of their experience, whatever it is.
522
There’s no wrong way to experience a film.
523
524
The wisdom of the wise and the experience of the ages are perpetuated by quotations.
525
We are different, in essence, from other men. If you want to win something, run 100 meters. If you want to experience something, run a marathon.
526
527
Music is an expression of individuality; it’s how you see the world. All art is, for that matter. You take how you experience the world, interpret it, and send it out there – express it – whether it’s sculpture, dance or singing.
528
529
It is very important for a priest, in the parish itself, to see how people trust in him and to experience, in addition to their trust, also their generosity in pardoning his weaknesses.
530
Reading a novel in which all characters illustrate patience, hard work, chastity, and delayed gratification could be a pretty dull experience.
531
I have definitely been curious and involved in the process; even as a young actor. I was always looking at where the camera was, what story it was telling. And as my experience grew, I wanted to know even more.
532
I try to be respectful about getting an honor or recognition, but I don’t really know what the Rock Hall actually is. In my experience with the people who run it, I don’t see it having to do with anything other than them making money.
533
534
It is important to express oneself… provided the feelings are real and are taken from your own experience.
535
Every day is a new experience and I take it as it comes.
536
537
I’m not a genius. I’m just a tremendous bundle of experience.
538
I hate to generalize, but in general, both men and women suffer from ageism. Men much less because men gain power as they get older. Women lose power as they get older. Men are seen as gaining experience and being distinguished. Sons look forward to replacing their fathers.
539
540
Nothing is a waste of time if you use the experience wisely.
541
542
One of the great cosmic laws, I think, is that whatever we hold in our thought will come true in our experience. When we hold something, anything, in our thought, then somehow coincidence leads us in the direction that we’ve been wishing to lead ourselves.
543
544
545
546
For people living with HIV, the knowledge that undetectable equals untransmittable is huge news, not only as a means of preventing transmission, but in breaking down the stigma that many people still experience.
547
As an actor, every opportunity, every role, everything that I do is an opportunity to have someone have a human experience with my work. I don’t just want it to be about a cute wardrobe and a high paycheck.
548
Take time to gather up the past so that you will be able to draw from your experience and invest them in the future.
549
Play is a uniquely adaptive act, not subordinate to some other adaptive act, but with a special function of its own in human experience.
550
Underwater, I experience space with my body. I’ll see a school of fish gathering and moving together and I’ll exclaim, ‘This is architecture.’
551
When we shift our perception, our experience changes.
552
But although all our knowledge begins with experience, it does not follow that it arises from experience.
553
I have a theory that the best ads come from personal experience. Some of the good ones I have done have really come out of the real experience of my life, and somehow this has come over as true and valid and persuasive.
554
One of the greatest moments in anybody’s developing experience is when he no longer tries to hide from himself but determines to get acquainted with himself as he really is.
555
You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’
556
I haven’t been as wild with my money as somebody like me might have been. I’ve been very safe, very conservative with investments. I don’t blow money. I don’t have a ton of houses. I know things can go away. I’ve already had that experience.
557
At the age when other children, I imagine, experience their first ‘feeling’ for a person, or for art, or for religion, I was affectionate, good, and even pious: by that I mean that under the influence of my mother, I was devoted to the Child Jesus.
558
When I work, I’m thinking in terms of purely visual effects and relations, and any verbal equivalent is something that comes afterwards. But it’s inconceivable to me that I could experience things and not have them enter into my painting.
559
The experience and behavior that gets labeled schizophrenic is a special strategy that a person invents in order to live in an unlivable situation.
560
It’s only when you risk failure that you discover things. When you play it safe, you’re not expressing the utmost of your human experience.
561
Our wisdom comes from our experience, and our experience comes from our foolishness.
562
The Classics are those books which constitute a treasured experience for those who have read and loved them; but they remain just as rich an experience for those who reserve the chance to read them for when they are in the best condition to enjoy them.
563
564
So much of our training focuses so much on the systems and how to operate the station, and not just the day-to-day life in terms of slowing down and enjoying the experience.
565
566
No experience is necessary to push yourself past what you think you can do.
567
Great moments of entertainment, great football, unforgettable evenings. I think that’s what it’s all about: experience, emotions, and the special touch that the Champions League brings on and off the field.
568
It’s very important that young artists push boundaries, because sometimes you have this urge to do something – like the impulsive and dangerous urges I had as a child – and if you don’t follow through with it you might miss out on a developmental experience.
569
In my experience, take the Holy Spirit out of the equation of your life and it spells boring. Add it into the equation of your life and you never know where you are going to go, what you are going to do, or who you are going to meet.
570
Age is relative. Experience is relative. And I think often intensity is confused with maturity.
