Famous Quotes & Sayings

Elizabeth Janeway

I admire people who are suited to the contemplative life. They can sit inside themselves like honey in a jar and just be. It's wonderful to have someone like that around, you always feel you can count on them. You can go away and come back, you can change your mind and your hairdo and your politics, and when you get through doing all these upsetting things, you look around and there they are, just the way they were, just being.

Antonio Banderas

In my personal life, I am very contemplative.

Anne Heche

Before, I just spewed whatever it was I thought about everything. I tend to be more contemplative now

Thomas Merton

One of the strange laws of the contemplative life is that in it you do not sit down and solve problems: you bear with them until they somehow solve themselves. Or until life solves them for you.

Isaac Disraeli

The act of contemplation then creates the thing created.
