Do not be misled by the fact that you are at liberty and relatively free; that for the moment you are not under lock and key: you have simply been granted a reprieve.
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
The moment you have children and a mortgage you want things to work; you're locked into the human project and you want it to flourish.
I remember as a kid watching one of the Olympic games, and I was cheering for a big track athlete. He was the favorite to win, and he lost. I realized in that moment the pain he felt was so much greater than the pain that those who never thought they were going to win would have felt had they lost.
What matters is to live in the present, live now, for every moment is now. It is your thoughts and acts of the moment that create your future. The outline of your future path already exists, for you created its pattern by your past.
Even when I don't think I'm writing, I'm writing. There's some part of my brain geared toward making songs up, and I know it's collecting things and I know when I get a moment to be by myself, that's when they come out.
It was a hard time for me to have a pure moment, to be present, to be here.

The seated lotus postures are an amazing way to go into meditation, or simply just to take a moment to ground oneself.
I suspect that perfect happiness is not possible for me. I suppose if I was ever selected for eternal life - the moment I was informed - that would bring me the closest.
There are those moments when you shake someone's hand, have a conversation with someone, and suddenly your all bound together because you share your humanity in one simple moment.
How come we never use prison, the failure of prison, as a reason not to give more prison? There's never a moment where we say, 'OK, well, prison hasn't worked, so we're not going to try that again.'
Man is free at the moment he wishes to be.
Perhaps he wanted to be alone with Dr. G., who was here, but he should have let me know. At Hoffmann's I felt I was sitting on hot coals, expecting him to arrive every moment.
My most embarrassing moment was when I was a student at Tufts University and decided to go 'streaking' with a group of girls in the middle of January. Somehow I lost them and ended up being chased by the campus police.
The collective experience of watching a great film together in a room is a transcendent moment that will never die.
If you're an actor, there's going to be a sense of fantasy about yourself, especially in the celebrity world we live in today. You give the illusion of being in control, sexy, at ease, with never a difficult moment. Those are the basic lies that all celebrities tell. For me, they're the more dangerous lies to come to terms with.
Hackman is able to live in the moment which means there is nothing for him at that split second than what is occurring in the scene.
We are playing at home, with full stadiums and passionate fans. It will be very special moment for me.
I know that my tendency is to be linear, and I'm trying to find ways to subvert that. And so in 'Bellocq's Ophelia' my device for subverting it was to tell the story and then to tell it again; it always circles back to this one moment, and it's not linear, but it's round in that way, and much of 'Native Guard' is like that.
Each moment is a place you've never been.
I would like a UK fully engaged in Europe, but I can't decide in place of the British. I see that for the moment they want to be more in retreat.

I am learning the importance of living in the moment.

The moment somebody says 'this is very risky' is the moment it becomes attractive to me.
I don't know, my music has always just come from where the wind blew me. Like where I'm at during a particular moment in time.
There is no way that you can ever really repeat something. I have this great belief that the magic of the moment can never be recaptured.
It was really a magical moment, to see this idea that's in your head.
I am against the whole cliche of the moment.
People of Berlin - people of the world - this is our moment. This is our time.
I never think about the play or visualize anything. I do what comes to me at that moment. Instinct. It has always been that way.
It's almost like the better I do, the more my feeling of inadequacy actually increases, because I'm just going, 'Any moment, someone's going to find out I'm a total fraud, and that I don't deserve any of what I've achieved. I can't possibly live up to what everyone thinks I am and what everyone's expectations of me are.'
I'm a huge fan of Taio Cruz. I'm really liking what he's doing at the moment. I'd love to do something with him.
