That which is not, shall never be; that which is, shall never cease to be. To the wise, these truths are self-evident.

Gita, Bhagavad | Experience


You cannot create experience. You must undergo it.

Camus, Albert | Experience


When you have really exhausted an experience you always reverence and love it.

Chesterton, G.K. | Experience


We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it?and stop there; lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again?and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore.

Twain, Mark | Experience


I am a part of all that I have met.

Tennyson, Alfred Lord | Experience


Experience seems to most of us to lead to conclusions, but empiricism has sworn never to draw them.

Santayana, George | Experience


All experience is an arch wherethrough gleams that untravelled world whose margin fades for ever and for ever when I move.

Tennyson, Alfred Lord | Experience


You're working on being a father, so that is something that when you experience it you'll understand the profundity of wanting to protect something dear to you.

Harvey Keitel | Experience


You're creating an intimacy that everybody feels, that it's their experience, not yours. I'll never introduce a song and say, now this song is about 'my' broken heart.

Diana Krall | Experience


Your own experience keeps taking you towards something. My book adds the hope that it's a better something.

Moon Unit Zappa | Experience


You want to do something that shows some type individuality and talent and imagination - at the same time, you want to be truthful to the predecessors, because obviously the audience liked something about them and you have to replicate that experience to a certain extent.

Renny Harlin | Experience


You may never learn the names of any of the people you talk to in a dog park, even after many, many hours spent there with them, and many hours of conversation. But if - knock on wood - anything should ever happen to your dog, these nameless non-strangers will rally, sympathize, offer to help, and hold your hand. I know this from experience.

Susan Orlean | Experience


You may count on Mexico's support, since your commitment to the noblest causes of mankind and your vast experience are and will be invaluable in enabling us, together, to achieve a better world.

Vicente Fox | Experience


You lose your individuality a huge amount when you have no money, and I certainly had that experience.

J. K. Rowling | Experience


You learn from a conglomeration of the incredible past - whatever experience gotten in any way whatsoever.

Bob Dylan | Experience


You know, young actors say all the time, 'Should I use my own life experience?' And my response is, 'What choice do you have?'

David Mamet | Experience


You know, my life's changed now. I'm starting to experience what people are really supposed to do. You supposed to be married. You're supposed to have a family, kids, treat your wife right.

Mike Epps | Experience


You know, I've learned a lot from every person I've collaborated with, from Madlib to Jean Grae and Hi-Tek, to Mos to DJ Quik, to even somebody like Jermaine Dupri. I've taken something important away from every experience.

Talib Kweli | Experience


You know, it shouldn't just be about women as heroic figures overcoming things, it just needs to be about women in general getting the opportunity to play a multitude of roles, telling a multitude of stories - just to express human experience from a woman's perspective. I hope, someday, we can get to that point. I'm all about representation.

Diablo Cody | Experience


You know, in 1975 I couldn't get a job in New York City because I was American. The kitchens were predominantly run by French, Swiss, German, and basically I got laughed at. I had education, I had experience, but got laughed at because I was American.

Emeril Lagasse | Experience


You have to trust your kids. They have to experience life, and you just hope you've provided them a foundation for what's right and what isn't.

Jack Nicklaus | Experience


You have to see a building to comprehend it. Photographs cannot convey the experience, nor film.

Arthur Erickson | Experience


You have to experience life, make observations, and ask questions.

Mos Def | Experience


You have people come into your life shockingly and surprisingly. You have losses that you never thought you'd experience. You have rejection and you have learn how to deal with that and how to get up the next day and go on with it.

Taylor Swift | Experience


You experience the films through the actors, so they're all locked into your imagination in some kind of layer of fantasy or hatred or wherever they settle into your imagination.

Danny Boyle | Experience


You don't know what unconditional love is. You may say you do, but if you don't have a child, you don't know what that is. But when you experience it, it is the most fulfilling ever.

Regina King | Experience


You don't cheat anybody out of their experience, whatever it is.

Andre Agassi | Experience


You can't leave out half the world's experience and expect to address all the problems. Women communicate differently and process information differently, which leads them to resolve conflicts differently.

Dee Dee Myers | Experience


You can't dodge them all. I got hammered plenty of times through the years. But you just get up and keep playing. I can tell you from experience, though. Sometimes it hurts like hell.

Terry Bradshaw | Experience


You can live your whole life in your brain and not experience what's around you. You go crazy that way.

Fiona Apple | Experience


You ask any moviemaker what their favorite movie experience was, and they'll say it was one of the first ones, where everyone had to pitch in and do everything together, and you had to struggle.

Robert Rodriguez | Experience


You are not a human being in search of a spiritual experience. You are a spiritual being immersed in a human experience.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin | Experience


You are about to have your first experience with a Greek lunch. I will kill you if you pretend to like it.

Jackie Kennedy | Experience


Yet higher religion, which is only a search for a larger life, is essentially experience and recognized the necessity of experience as its foundation long before science learnt to do so.

Muhammad Iqbal | Experience


Yes, I've listened to just a few audiobooks - but hope to listen to more. I've wanted to investigate how my own books sound in this format and find the experience of listening, and not reading, quite fascinating.

Joyce Carol Oates | Experience


Yes, I've been trepanned. That's quite an interesting experience, especially for my brain surgeon, who saw my thoughts flying around in my brain.

Keith Richards | Experience


Yes, all my songs come from personal experience and relationships.

Rick Springfield | Experience


Writing a story or a novel is one way of discovering sequence in experience, of stumbling upon cause and effect in the happenings of a writer's own life.

Eudora Welty | Experience


Writing a novel is a terrible experience, during which the hair often falls out and the teeth decay.

Flannery O'Connor | Experience


Working with HBO was an opportunity to experience creative freedom and 'long-form development' that filmmakers didn't have a chance to do before the emergence of shows like 'The Sopranos.'

Martin Scorsese | Experience


Working with big actors and realising that they were just normal people who've got an incredible talent was just a great experience.

Tom Felton | Experience


Work is a substitute religious experience for many workaholics.

Mary Daly | Experience


Words are capable of making experience more vivid, and also of organizing it. They can scare us, and they can comfort us.

Jonathan Safran Foer | Experience


Women love working together. That's my experience anyway.

Shirley MacLaine | Experience


Women have no sympathy and my experience of women is almost as large as Europe.

Florence Nightingale | Experience


Women artists need to break barriers in order for women's experience to be valuable.

Liz Phair | Experience


Women always excel men in that sort of wisdom which comes from experience. To be a woman is in itself a terrible experience.

H. L. Mencken | Experience


Without in any way minimising the economic and psychological blow that people experience when they lose their jobs, the unemployed in affluent countries still have a safety net, in the form of social security payments, and usually free healthcare and free education for their children. They also have sanitation and safe drinking water.

Peter Singer | Experience


Without fullness of experience, length of days is nothing. When fullness of life has been achieved, shortness of days is nothing. That is perhaps why the young have usually so little fear of death they live by intensities that the elderly have forgotten.

Lewis Mumford | Experience


With 'Good Will Hunting,' Miramax made certain the recruited audience wasn't expecting to laugh at Robin Williams like they normally do. From my limited experience, you can really blow test screenings by conducting them in the wrong way.

Gus Van Sant | Experience


With a lot of films, people are sitting on the outside looking in, but I want the audience to get a bit more intimately involved with what's going on, so that they maybe can experience it a little bit more intensely.

Andrea Arnold | Experience


Wisdom and penetration are the fruit of experience, not the lessons of retirement and leisure. Great necessities call out great virtues.

Abigail Adams | Experience


While teaching, I also worked undercover in the lower courts by saying I was a young law teacher wanting experience in criminal law. The judges were happy to assist me but what I learned was how corrupt the lower courts were. Judges were accepting money right in the courtroom.

Samuel Dash | Experience


While I was pleasantly surprised by the relatively high number of jobs created in April, the fact is that job creation during this recovery period has significantly lagged both historical experience in recovery, and the projections of the Bush Administration.

Barney Frank | Experience


Whether born from experience or inherent physiological or cultural differences our gender and national origins may and will make a difference in our judging.

Sonia Sotomayor | Experience

Whenever something happens that makes me laugh or if I remember something in the middle of the night that I want to share, I jot the experience down.

Tori Spelling | Experience


When you grow up in a family of languages, you develop a kind of casual fluency, so that languages, though differently colored, all seem transparent to experience.

David Antin | Experience


When you go visiting countries, you start reading the history of the place and you start getting into the culture, and then you have to leave. In my experience, all countries have hidden treasures.

Jo Nesbo | Experience


When you go to the movies with your whole family, it's a different experience. For some reason, it's something that you're all doing together and you take away something special in that.

Vin Diesel | Experience


When they call the slightest spending reductions 'painful', we will say 'If government spending prevents pain, why are we suffering so much of it?' And 'If you want to experience real pain, just stay on the track we are on.'

Mitch Daniels | Experience


When something is new to us, we treat it as an experience. We feel that our senses are awake and clear. We are alive.

Jasper Johns | Experience


When I'm home on a break, I lock myself in my room and play guitar. After two or three hours, I start getting into this total meditation. It's a feeling few people experience, and that's usually when I come up with weird stuff. It just flows. I can't force myself. I don't sit down and say I've got to practice.

Eddie Van Halen | Experience


When I was young, I was just about hard work. But as I got older, I did experience anxiety, doubt, judgment, and it's so easy to lose yourself for a second.

Jennifer Lopez | Experience


When I was 27 years old, I organized legal aid clinics to help low-income seniors. It was a life-altering experience.

Ron Wyden | Experience


When I was 12 years old, someone took me to see Martha Graham. It was nothing like what I thought of as serious dancing and even then I knew I was having a great experience. It was as if somebody was moving through space like no one ever did before.

Leslie Fiedler | Experience


When I look back at the tapes, your first everything, your first All-Star Game, your first playoff experience, it just seems like it went by really fast.

Roger Clemens | Experience


When he brought it to me four years ago, Rodney King had just arrived, I was involved in the clean-up of L.A. and I guess it was part of my experience.

Kathryn Bigelow | Experience


When fish experience something that would cause other animals physical pain, they behave in ways suggestive of pain, and the change in behaviour may last several hours.

Peter Singer | Experience


When a novel has 200,000 words, then it is possible for the reader to experience 200,000 delights, and to turn back to the first page of the book and experience them all over again, perhaps more intensely.

Jane Smiley | Experience


When a child comes in, I believe that it's a 'multipersonhood,' and it knows it, its consciousness knows it, and it has a nuclei in the center of its consciousness that is the repository of all experience and all knowledge. And when you look in the eyes of your baby and you feel this sense that they are an old soul, I believe indeed they are.

Shirley MacLaine | Experience


Whatever education I got was from experience and reading. But I also realize I wouldn't pass my friend's sixth-grade class.

Michelle Williams | Experience


What we have to get clear to kids is that when you offer your stillness and open yourself to the experience of music, it pays you back more than you give.

David Ogden Stiers | Experience


What is truth? Truth doesn't really exist. Who is going to judge whether my experience of an incident is more valid than yours? No one can be trusted to be the judge of that.

Tracey Emin | Experience


What is the good of drawing conclusions from experience? I don't deny we sometimes draw the right conclusions, but don't we just as often draw the wrong ones?

Georg C. Lichtenberg | Experience


What is sure is that technological change is accelerating in all directions and, like children playing in a fountain, consumers are reveling in the experience.

Simon Mainwaring | Experience


What if Barack Obama established a Presidential Advisory Committee that would meet once every couple of months, bringing together the former presidents for a conference in order to seek their collective wisdom? There is a wealth of experience in former presidents that generally goes untapped.

Tony Campolo | Experience


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.

Joseph Campbell | Experience


What an artist is trying to do for people is bring them closer to something, because of course art is about sharing. You wouldn't be an artist unless you wanted to share an experience, a thought.

David Hockney | Experience


Well, you know, the definition of second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience.

George Will | Experience


Well, my background is journalism. I don't have any creative-writing experience except for one class I took as a sophomore in college.

Dave Eggers | Experience


Well, I think the main message is there is more to your story. There is more than what happens between the crib and the grave, and that is what I am really trying to speak to, this idea that all of life is this life and that there is nothing more than what we see and experience right here on this earth.

Max Lucado | Experience


Well, for me, what I've learned at the very end of this, love is sharing, and I think that really is, for me, the best place to go to experience love, is sharing.

Jason Mraz | Experience


Wealth is the ability to fully experience life.

Henry David Thoreau | Experience


We went with the St. Lawrence Experience, which is run by Joe Babbitt, who is a close friend now. We went out there for 10 days and we had the best week of our lives, and we've been going back since. We've been back three times now.

Tom Felton | Experience


We should not look back unless it is to derive useful lessons from past errors, and for the purpose of profiting by dearly bought experience.

George Washington | Experience


We see our customers as invited guests to a party, and we are the hosts. It's our job every day to make every important aspect of the customer experience a little bit better.

Jeff Bezos | Experience


We really haven't had very much experience with people funding their retirement out of the stock market, and we don't know, frankly, how it would work under every scenario.

Ron Chernow | Experience


We need creativity in order to break free from the temporary structures that have been set up by a particular sequence of experience.

Edward de Bono | Experience


We learn from experience that men never learn anything from experience.

George Bernard Shaw | Experience


We have that illusion that we are 'deciding' what to make a character do, in order to 'convey our message' or something like that. But, at least in my experience, you are often more like a river-rafting guide who's been paid a bonus to purposely steer your clients into the roughest possible water.

George Saunders | Experience


We experience problem-solving sessions as war zones, we view competing ideas as enemies, and we use problems as weapons to blame and defeat opposition forces. No wonder we can't come up with real lasting solutions!

Margaret J. Wheatley | Experience


We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them.

Khalil Gibran | Experience


We can not continue to allow this over reliance on government to replace the cornerstone institution that has made the American experience possible.

Marco Rubio | Experience


We believe that Lebanon has been the first real experience for all the Arabs.

Bashar al-Assad | Experience


We are volcanoes. When we women offer our experience as our truth, as human truth, all the maps change. There are new mountains.

Ursula K. Le Guin | Experience


We are increasingly likely to find ourselves in places with background music. No composers have thought to write for these modern spaces, which represent 30% of our musical experience.

Brian Eno | Experience


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.

Emil Zatopek | Experience


We are creating a unique experience. It's starts with how you see the building from a distance.

Helmut Jahn | Experience


Watching the evening news in 2011 is a strange time-travel experience. 'The CBS Evening News,' 'ABC World News' and 'NBC Nightly News' haven't changed their style over the decades, still going for that old-fashioned mix of voice-of-authority pomp and feel-good fluff. The difference is that people aren't watching.

Rob Sheffield | Experience


War is delightful to those who have had no experience of it.

Desiderius Erasmus | Experience
