Quiet Room Quotes

• Most things will be okay eventually, but not everything will be. Sometimes you'll put up a good fight and lose. Sometimes you'll hold on really hard and realize there is no choice but to let go. Acceptance is a small, quiet room.

• 

  No es necesario que salga de su habitación. Permanezca sentado en su mesa y escuche. Ni siquiera escuches, simplemente espera, quédate callado, quieto y solitario. El mundo se te ofrecerá libremente para que lo desenmascares, no tiene elección, rodará extasiado a tus pies.

• Lo que se llama zazen es sentarse sobre un zafu [almohada] en una habitación tranquila, absolutamente quieto, en la posición exacta y adecuada y sin pronunciar una palabra, la mente vacía de cualquier pensamiento, bueno o malo. Es continuar sentado tranquilamente, de cara a la pared, y nada más. Todos los días.

• Le encantaban las montañas, o le había encantado pensar en ellas marchando al borde de historias traídas de muy lejos; pero ahora se sentía agobiado por el peso insoportable de la Tierra Media. Ansiaba aislarse de la inmensidad en una habitación tranquila junto al fuego.

• Al hacer zazen es deseable tener una habitación tranquila. Debes ser moderado al comer y beber, abandonando todas las relaciones engañosas. Dejando todo a un lado, no pienses ni en el bien ni en el mal, ni en lo correcto ni en lo incorrecto. Una vez detenidas las diversas funciones de tu mente, abandona incluso la idea de convertirte en Buda.

• The library is not, as some would have it, a place for the retiring of disposition or faint of heart. It is not an ivory tower or a quiet room in a sanitarium facing away from the afternoon sun. It is, rather, a command center, a power base. A board room, a war room. An Oval Office for all who preside over their own destinies. One does not retreat from the world here; one prepares to join it at an advantage.

• Anyone can see that to write Uncle Tom's Cabin on the knee in the kitchen, with constant calls to cooking and other details of housework to punctuate the paragraphs, was a more difficult achievement than to write it at leisure in a quiet room.

• If you asked everybody in a quiet room what they think, they'd say, 'What does the NCAA do really well? We run championships really well.' And yet we have this thing we don't get involved in.

• [Como guionista] tengo una sensación de exilio del pensamiento, una nostalgia de la habitación silenciosa y la mente equilibrada. Soy escritor, y llega un momento en que lo que escribo tiene que pertenecerme, tiene que escribirse solo y en silencio, sin nadie que me mire por encima del hombro, sin nadie que me diga una forma mejor de escribirlo. No tiene que ser un gran escrito, ni siquiera tiene que ser terriblemente bueno. Sólo tiene que ser mío.

• Now I am in the place I call this wide wide Heaven because it includes all my simplest desires but also the most humble and grand. The word my grandfather uses is comfort. So there are cakes and pillows and colors galore, but underneath this more obvious patchwork quilt are places like a quiet room where you can go and hold someone's hand and not have to say anything. Give no story. Make no claim. Where you can live at the edge of your skin for as long as you wish.

• Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep
  Do not stand at my grave and weep,
  I am not there, I do not sleep.
  I am in a thousand winds that blow,
  I am the softly falling snow.
  I am the gentle showers of rain,
  I am the fields of ripening grain.
  I am in the morning hush,
  I am in the graceful rush
  Of beautiful birds in circling flight,
  I am the star shine of the night.
  I am in the flowers that bloom,
  I am in a quiet room.
  I am in the birds that sing,
  I am in each lovely thing.
  Do not stand at my grave and cry,
  I am not there. I do not die.

• Sadly I write in my quiet room, alone as I have always been, alone as I will always be. And I wonder if my apparently negligible voice might not embody the essence of thousands of voices, the longing for self expression of thousands of lives, the patience of millions of souls resigned like my own to their daily lot, their useless dreams, and their hopeless hopes.

• I like the idea of having a calm, quiet room to work on my [art] while knowing that outside there's noise and a lot happening. It's reassuring to know the 'everyday' continues even though inside the studio you feel so disconnected from it.
