What I'm most excited about is that there's an openness to a shift, and I do think that there's a shift happening.

Wayne Dyer

The reason 'closure' is a cliche is that it is used too often, too imprecisely, and doesn't in any case reflect reality. In reality, such closure in broken friendships and much else in life is rarely achieved; only death brings closure and then not always for those still living.

Joseph Epstein

Your heart knows the truth of openness and suffers the tense lie of your closure.

David Deida

During relaxation we drop our guard. Particularly in conversation. Relaxed conversation leads to openness. And in openness we often reveal what should never be revealed.

Edward Carey

I'm not interested in closure. Some people just have heart attacks and die, right? There's no closure.

Larry David

I truly believe that closure doesn't need to come from the other person. You can always get closure from yourself.

Nick Viall

Closure isn't closure until someone's ready to close the door.

Jonathan Maberry

Trust, love, what we call sexy, who we trust in a business situation, are all based on how open we are. Openness is bodily openness, muscular relaxation, heart openness as opposed to hiding behind some emotional wall, and spiritual openness, which is actually feeling so fully into the moment that there's no separation between you and the entire moment.

David Deida

When the seasons shift, even the subtle beginning, the scent of a promised change, I feel something stir inside me. Hopefulness? Gratitude? Openness? Whatever it is, it's welcome.

Kristin Armstrong

For survivors, the word closure often connotes that the bereaved are underachievers who flunked a grief course.

Earl A Grollman

While transparency reduces corruption, good governance goes beyond transparency in achieving openness. Openness means involving the stakeholders in decision-making process. Transparency is the right to information while openness is the right to participation.

Narendra Modi

My mother's openness has remained inspiring to me. I strive to be a skeptic, in the best sense of that word: I question everything, and yet I'm open to everything. And I don't have immovable beliefs. My values shift and grow with my experiences - and as my context changes, so does what I believe.

Amy Tan

We break down every element of the game, shift by shift and within the shift. And maybe sometimes we are over-the-top on that, but love our detail on the staff and how we do things.

Todd Reirden

There is certain relief in change, even though it be from bad to worse! As I have often found in traveling in a stagecoach, that it is often a comfort to shift one's position, and be bruised in a new place.
