Instead of reality being passively recorded by the brain, it is actively constructed by it.

David Eagleman

What chance of survival does a culture have when its own elites actively seek its destruction?

William S. Lind

A muse is something that serves a poet well early in his or her career. In later years one writers out of one's own driven inspiration. One learns to find inspiration rather than waiting for it to come for a visit. I can find inspiration almost anywhere.

Clarence Major

To me, poetry is about survival first of all. Survival of the individual self, survival of the emotional life.

Gregory Orr

Love when you can, cry when you have to, be who you must, that's a part of the plan. Await your arrival with simple survival, and one day we'll all understand.

Dan Fogelberg

People resist exploitation. They resist as actively as they can, as passively as they must.

Immanuel Wallerstein

More and more, as I grow older, I find myself looking for inspiration in painting, illustration, videogames, and old movies.

Guillermo del Toro

Don’t waste time waiting for inspiration. Begin, and inspiration will find you.

H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

Comfort is not where you grow. You grow in conflict, easy to say but hard to do. Adversity's greatest gain is I grow closer to Christ and still understand that God's in control and He always knows my situation. It's not too big for Him. And He has a plan for me. But sometimes the plan's not exactly what I want. But the plan is hopefully, to influence other people for eternity as they watch me go through that situation.

Mike MacIntyre

For a stalk to grow or a flower to open there must be time that cannot be forced; nine months must go by for the birth of a human child; to write a book or compose music often years must be dedicated to patient research ...To find the mystery there must be patience, interior purification, silence, waiting.

Pope John Paul II

In order to deserve, we must pay our dues and steadily work for perfection. We must relish in struggle, and relinquish pride. We must dispel fear and seek enlightenment. We must shun division and honor love. We must know our hearts and seek to understand others. We must try, live, create, feel, grow and love.

Bryant H. McGill

Part of me is still waiting to grow up, to be an adult, and the other part knows there is no such thing.

Richard Dreyfuss

Our beliefs do not sit passively in our brains waiting to be confirmed or contradicted by incoming information. Instead, they play a key role in shaping how we see the world.

Richard Wiseman

The real is near, you do not have to seek it; and a man who seeks truth will never find it. Truth is in what is - and that is the beauty of it. But the moment you conceive it, the moment you seek it, you begin to struggle; and a man who struggles cannot understand. That is why we have to be still, observant, passively aware.

Jiddu Krishnamurti

Not actively surviving is passively dying.

Ori Hofmekler

Free agency, given us through the plan of our Father, is the great alternative to Satan's plan of force. With this sublime gift, we can grow, improve, progress, and seek perfection.

James E. Faust
