Ken Kesey
- One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
He's got hands so long and white and dainty, I think they carved each other out of soap, and sometimes they get loose and glide around in front of him free as two white birds until he notices them and traps them between his knees; it bothers him that he's got pretty hands.
Marcus Aurelias
- Meditations
Learn to ask of all actions, "Why are they doing that?" Starting with your own. Stop whatever you're doing for a moment and ask yourself: Am I afraid of death because I won't be able to do this anymore?
Andy Puddicombe
- Meditation & Mindfulness
When we have presence of mind, we have presence of body; when we possess mental focus, we possess physical focus; and when we have an ease of mind, we have an ease of body.
Greg Sestero
- The Disaster Artist
In the original script, this scene opens with Lisa answering the phone to talk to her mother. While writing the scene, Tommy forgot at some point that Lisa was talking on the phone, so he ends the scene with Lisa walking her mother to the door and saying goodbye. It's the most wonderfully surreal thing I've ever read.
AJ Lee Mendez
- Human Beings
The smallest act of someone smiling at me, saying "thank you," or even just making eye contact helped remind me I was an actual human being and not a robot designed to nonjudgmentally swipe customers' lambskin condoms and smile while being yelled at for expired coupons.
Uncle Junior
- Honus Wagner
When I was a little kid, no older than that, I always used to wonder why nobody collected prayer cards like they collected baseball cards. Thousands of bucks for Honus Wagner and jack for Jesus.
CM Punk
- Straight Edge
Straight edge is a personal decision to not live my life under the influence or not being aware. I pretty much don't like anything that alters my view of reality or my perception or my grasp.
Amy Upham
- Anatomy of an Epidemic
With psychiatric medications, you solve one problem for a period of time, but the next thing you know you end up with two problems. The treatment turns a period of crisis into a chronic mental illness.
