A Quote by Whit Stillman

I'm for people clinging. I'm pro-clinging. — © Whit Stillman
I'm for people clinging. I'm pro-clinging.
The past is not clinging to you; YOU are clinging to the past. Once you are not clinging, the past simply EVAPORATES!
The practice is to make the non-arising of grasping and clinging absolute, final, and eternally void, so that no grasping and clinging can ever return. Just that is enough. There is nothing else to do.
I am tired of clinging. Though I cannot see it with my eyes, I trust that the current knows where it is going. I shall let go, and let it take me where it will. Clinging, I shall die of boredom.
Life is a flux, nothing abides. Still we are such fools, we go on clinging. If change is the nature of life, then clinging is stupidity, because your clinging is not going to change the law of life. Your clinging is only going to make you miserable. Things are bound to change; whether you cling or not does not matter. If you cling you become miserable: you cling and they change, you feel frustrated. If you don`t cling they still change, but then there is no frustration because you were perfectly aware that they are bound to change. This is how things are, this is the suchness of life.
In essence I find that the foundation of modern conservatism is driven by a clinging to God in fear of the world, whereas the foundation of modern liberalism is a clinging to the world in fear of God; albeit, the true foundation should be one's clinging to God in fear of God.
See what your misery is, what desires are causing it, and why you are clinging to those desires. And it is not for the first time that you are clinging to those desires; this has been the pattern of your whole life and you have not arrived anywhere. You go on in circles, you never come to any real growth. You remain childish, stupid. And you are born with the intelligence that can make you a buddha, but it is lost in unnecessary things.
Elizabeth studied the blurry tabloid photo, which showed her cousin Mary Stuart leaving a Paris disco at dawn, drunkenly clinging to the arm of a French tennis pro. The message was very clear. Put passion first and you end up neither loved nor respected.
People, chained by monotony, afraid to think, clinging to certainties... they live like ants.
I don't think people ever were free of fear of death, but clinging to life and being so unprepared for it is a modern experience.
There's no point in clinging to illusions.
When you are unhappy, discover what you are clinging to and let it go.
My mother wanted to shrink from my clinging, but did not.
Clinging to the past is the problem. Embracing change is the answer.
Faith is not the clinging to a shrine but an endless pilgrimage of the heart.
This is deathless: the liberation of the mind through lack of clinging.
Clinging to old ways and fighting change is not the answer.
