“Sitting quietly, doing nothing, spring comes, and the grass grows by itself”
Zen Proverb
“All men's miseries derive from not being able to sit in a quiet room alone.”
Blaise Pascal
“It is difficult to keep quiet if you have nothing to do”
Arthur Schopenhauer
“We are cups, constantly and quietly being filled. The trick is, knowing how to tip ourselves over and let the beautiful stuff out.”
Ray Bradbury
“Inside, the cathedral is a Gothic forest dappled in violet twilight and vast with quiet.”
Wendy Insinger
“Waiting times are growing times and learning times. As you quiet your heart, you enter His peace...as you sense your weakness, you receive His strength...as you lay down your will, you hear His calling.”
Roy Lessin
“There is no quiet place in the white man's cities. No place to hear the unfurling of leaves in spring, or the rustle of an insect's wings. But perhaps it is because I am a savage and do not understand. The clatter only seems to insult the ears.”
Chief Seattle
