Lightness Quotes - Page 3

• For Sabina, living in truth, lying neither to ourselves nor to others, was possible only away from the public: the moment someone keeps an eye on what we do, we involuntarily make allowances for that eye, and nothing we do is truthful. Having a public, keeping a public in mind, means living in lies.

  Milan Kundera

  Lying, Mean, Eye

• Era una extraña ligereza, una sensación de ir a la deriva. Gravedad cero. Comprendí que todo lo que una vez me pareció sólido e inamovible podía desaparecer flotando. Y que esto era una verdad de la vida, no una ilusión en la mente afligida de un niño. Todo lo que es duro y pesado en tu mundo está formado por miles de millones de moléculas en constante movimiento que ofrecen la ilusión de permanencia. Pero todo tiende a romperse y a caer. Algunas cosas se van más rápido, más sorprendentemente, que otras.

• Think light! Try to impart a feeling of lightness to the body. Think light. This can be achieved by mentally extending yourself outwards from the centre of the body, i.e., think tall. Think not just of raising your arms but of extending them outwards and when you are holding them still, think again of reaching still further away from your body. Do not think of yourself as a small compressed suffering thing. Think of yourself as graceful and expanding - no matter how unlikely it may seem at the time.

  B.K.S. Iyengar

  Thinking, Light, Feelings

• I don't feel like it's pressure. It's more of an obligation - not to entertain or be funny, but to have a certain levity. I mean, there's got to be a lightness in your leg. You have to be as light as you can be, and you don't have to be weighted down, stuck in your emotions and stuck in your body, stuck in your head. You just want to try and elevate something.

  Bill Murray

  Mean, Light, Trying

• ...she merely wished to find a way out of the maze. She knew that she had become a burden to him: she took things too seriously, turning everything into a tragedy, and failed to grasp the lightness and amusing insignificance of physical love. How she wished she could learn lightness! She yearned for someone to help her out of her anachronistic shell.

  Milan Kundera

  Tragedy, Mazes, Shells

• I appreciate a slight yield, lightness of weight, some motion if possible, because in moving about, the human body determines... the comfort and the measurements of its environment... the human measure is still the strongest factor. But coming back to the chair, there are certain motions we go through - we like to lean back, like to toss things - and if the chair's adaptable it responds and it's almost like wearing a comfortable coat; you really don't know you have it on.

  Harry Bertoia

• Había estado tan empeñado en una huida que ahora era imposible, y la única forma de libertad que me quedaba era la muerte. Era una libertad terrible: de la miseria y el dolor, sí, pero también de la ligereza, la risa y la vida. Era la ausencia de todo.

• There is no means of testing which decision is better, because there is no basis for comparison. We live everything as it comes, without warning, like an actor going on cold. And what can life be worth if the first rehearsal for life is life itself? That is why life is always like a sketch. No, "sketch" is not quite a word, because a sketch is an outline of something, the groundwork for a picture, whereas the sketch that is our life is a sketch for nothing, an outline with no picture.

  Milan Kundera

  Life, Mean, Decision
