The words printed here are concepts. You must go through the experiences.

All growth is a leap in the dark, a spontaneous unpremeditated act without benefit of experience.

Karma, memory, and desire are just the software of the soul. It's conditioning that the soul undergoes in order to create experience. And it's a cycle. In most people, the cycle is a conditioned response. They do the same things over and over again.

Literature overtakes history, for literature gives you more than one life. It expands experience and opens new opportunities to readers.

All experience is an arch, to build upon.

You don't have to be a chef or even a particularly good cook to experience proper kitchen alchemy: the moment when ingredients combine to form something more delectable than the sum of their parts. Fancy ingredients or recipes not required; simple, made-up things are usually even better.

Experience praises the most happy the one who made the most people happy.

You can't build any kind of organization if you're not going to surround yourself with people who have experience and skill base beyond your own.

Experience should be a plus as long as it doesn't become complacency. If you say, 'We're not going to change; we didn't do it that way before,' then you've become too old.

If you're not willing to work, you're never going to be able to experience the American Dream.

Artists need some kind of stimulating experience a lot of times, which crystallizes when you sing about it or paint it or sculpt it. You literally mold the experience the way you want. It's therapy.

A lot of people think they should be happy all the time. But the writer understands you need both. You need the whole piano: the richness of the whole human experience. Depression, suffering and anger are all part of being human.

The world is the true classroom. The most rewarding and important type of learning is through experience, seeing something with our own eyes.

Most of the images of reality on which we base our actions are really based on vicarious experience.

Switching from one career to another can be scary, but it also can be a thrilling experience. Look at it as an opportunity to really go after what you want to accomplish in life and make a difference in the world. The key is to take small, conscious steps and prepare yourself for a successful transition.

I'm learning from my past mistakes and trying to correct them as I move forward. Experience at the international level has probably taught me what it takes to probably go out there and get a 100 or to build an innings or to win a game.

As time passes, the actual complexity of our history - even of our own personal experience - gets buried under the weight of the ideal image.

Essentially, I'm a 21-year-old who's a millionaire through gaming, vlogging, and my online experience. Yo, I'll take it!

I get tired of comedies where there are a bunch of funny guys and a beautiful woman who doesn't do anything funny. And I don't like books where there's a rough-and-tumble boy and a really clever, snotty girl. That's just not my experience with teenagers.

I get to actually experience what it would be like to be a psycho, which is not a fun one, or to be a cowboy, or to be a weird character of some sort. For me, it suits me. It suits my personality. I'm an emotional kind of person anyway.

Experience has everywhere shown us, and especially in the Philippines, that the classes which are better off have always been addicted to peace and order because they live comparatively better and may be the losers in civil disturbances.

Experience never errs; it is only your judgments that err by promising themselves effects such as are not caused by your experiments.

I just don't believe in love at first sight anymore, even though I've based my whole career on the concept. In my experience, power, money and influence always attract the opposite sex. It's something that I've always exploited - with good results.

Quality is a direct experience independent of and prior to intellectual abstractions.

You don't take a class; you're thrown into motherhood and learn from experience.

Creativity and insight almost always involve an experience of acute pattern recognition: the eureka moment in which we perceive the interconnection between disparate concepts or ideas to reveal something new.

Depression can kill you. It can also be a spiritually enriching experience. It's really an important part of my theology now and my spirituality that life is not perfect, and I grew up wanting it to be and thinking that if it wasn't, I could make it that way, and I had to acknowledge that I had all kinds of flaws and sadnesses and problems.

Throughout any given season of 'The Bachelor,' the women exclaim that the experience is like a fairy tale. They suffer the machinations of reality television, pursuing - along with several other women, often inebriated - the promise of happily ever after.

As an actor, you can't think about the end result or the fame; you just have to focus on the day you're in. You have no control over the finished product, what people will think of it, so all you have is the experience of making it, and you have to stay focused on that.

Experience is a great teacher.

We shall not grow wiser before we learn that much that we have done was very foolish.

The prism through which you experience life is so unique. There is no objective experience.

Yes, I've been trepanned. That's quite an interesting experience, especially for my brain surgeon, who saw my thoughts flying around in my brain.

I try to make the readers feel they've lived the events of the book. Just as you grieve if a friend is killed, you should grieve if a fictional character is killed. You should care. If somebody dies and you just go get more popcorn, it's a superficial experience isn't it?

There have been times when I felt suicidal and I would stop my head from going in that direction of negativity because I thought there'd be something I'd miss that was funny in the future. If there's a chance I'm going to laugh tomorrow then want to live to experience that.

We take people to the threshold of religion. Our aim is to induce immediate experience that is beyond the odd, beyond the strange, and beyond the weird. It verges on the wholly other.

In my experience, I think there's must ado about fidelity and infidelity. I think sometimes true emotional relationships can go beyond those.

Everything is discursive opinion instead of direct experience.

It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues.

The world has today 546 nuclear plants generating electricity. Their experience is being continuously researched, and feedback should be provided to all.

It's a great, great experience to finally get the reception that you know you rightfully deserve.

To me the arcade experience is the ultimate gaming experience.

One of the great cosmic laws, I think, is that whatever we hold in our thought will come true in our experience. When we hold something, anything, in our thought, then somehow coincidence leads us in the direction that we've been wishing to lead ourselves.

The questions which one asks oneself begin, at least, to illuminate the world, and become one's key to the experience of others.

To be a good director, you have to have good life experience. I'm getting there.
