When each thought absorbs your attention completely, it means you identify with the voice in your head. Thought then becomes invested with a sense of self. This is the ego, a mind-made "me." That mentally constructed self feels incomplete and precarious. That's why fearing and wanting are its predominant emotions and motivating forces.
Quote by -Eckart Tolle
No thought can encapsulate the vastness of the totality. Reality is a unified whole, but thought cuts it up into fragments. Every thought implies a perspective, and every perspective, by its very nature, implies limitation, which ultimately means that it is not true, at least not absolutely. Only the whole is true, but the whole cannot be spoken or thought.
Quote by -Eckart Tolle
Space has no "existence." "To exist" literally means "to stand out." You cannot understand space because it doesn't stand out. Although in itself it has no existence, it enables everything else to exist. Silence has no existence either, nor does the unmanifested.
Quote by -Eckart Tolle
Being flooded with information doesn't mean we have the right information or that we're in touch with the right people.
Quote by -Bill Gates
Our visit to this planet is short, so we should use our time meaningfully, which we can do by helping others wherever possible.
Quote by -Dalai Lama
In order to lead a meaningful life, you need to cherish others, pay attention to human values and try to cultivate inner peace.
Quote by -Dalai Lama
"Life has meaning only if one barters it day by day for something other than itself."
Quote by -Antoine de Saint-Exupery
"Man's "progress" is but a gradual discovery that his questions have no meaning"
Quote by -Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Man is a goal seeking animal. His life only has meaning if he is reaching out and striving for his goals.
Quote by -Aristotle
Does it mean this, does it mean that, that's all anybody wants to know. I'd say what any decent poet would say if anyone dared ask him to analyze his work: if you see it, darling, then it's there!
Quote by -Freddie Mercury
“The aim of good prose words is to mean what they say. The aim of good poetical words is to mean what they do not say.”
Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
“Alone of all creeds, Christianity has added courage to the virtues of the Creator. For the only courage worth calling courage must necessarily mean that the soul passes a breaking point and does not break.”
Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
“The man of the true religious tradition understands two things: liberty and obedience. The first means knowing what you really want.
Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
“Power is being redefined. Women often explain with care that we mean power to control our lives, but not to dominate others.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“Don't write when you're angry and under deadline, with time to test it only on friends who know what you mean, not on strangers who don't.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“Taking to the road—by which I mean letting the road take you—changed who I thought I was. The road is messy in the way that real life is messy. It leads us out of denial and into reality, out of theory and into practice, out of caution and into action, out of statistics and into stories—in short, out of our heads and into our hearts.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
There's an expression in Australia that's called 'Go Bush,' which means to get out of the city and relax. I try and 'go bush' to places where there's no cell reception. But, I don't get to do that often, so for the most part, it's just a state of mind.
Quote by -Cate Blanchett
I cook a mean Sunday lunch. My idea of Heaven is a lunch outside on a beautifully sunny Sunday afternoon. It's the time to gather everyone together.
Quote by -Cate Blanchett
Germany is a country that has absolutely had to since the Second World War ask itself massive moral questions. And it's reforged its identity based on culture. I mean, the amount of artists living and working in Berlin is unparalleled. It's one of the strongest economies, not only in Europe, but globally, and it's because of its understanding of the importance of culture.
Quote by -Cate Blanchett
It seems like people increasingly just can't be by themselves because they're so used to having an epicenter on the Internet that actually exists for other people. Until someone clicks onto your Facebook page, it doesn't mean anything.
Quote by -Cate Blanchett
I've got a funny old face. Someone described it once, and I think they were being kind, as character. But I know what they mean! I've never been that conventional. I suppose maybe it means that my face can look different in different lights, so I just try and sort of keep it simple when I'm going out, to still look like me.
Quote by -Cate Blanchett
Yaron has elevated the way Australia perceives circus, both nationally and internationally ... I mean remarkable.
Quote by -Cate Blanchett

Quote by -Chaim Potok
"You have a name and one thing after another happens to you, and you behave in various ways and do things, so that soon the name begins to have a meaning. Things have accumulated around your name."
Quote by -Carson McCullers

Quote by -Thomas Paine
"Reason and Ignorance, the opposites of each other, influence the great bulk of mankind. If either of these can be rendered sufficiently extensive in a country, the machinery of Government goes easily on. Reason obeys itself; and Ignorance submits to whatever is dictated to it."
Quote by -Thomas Paine
"Everything on my body has a meaning. I don't do art just because. It does look cool but it also has a meaning."
Quote by -Carmelo Anthony
“You must want to be first-class… meaning the best, the very best you are capable of becoming. If you deliberately plan to be less than you are capable of being, then I warn you that you’ll be deeply unhappy for the rest of your life. You will be evading your own capacities, your own possibilities.”
Quote by -Abraham Maslow
Words have value; what is of value in words is meaning. Meaning has something it is pursuing, but the thing that it is pursuing cannot be put into words and handed down.
Quote by -Zhuangzi
The longer I go about living, I see it's the relationship that is most meaningful.
Quote by -William Shatner
Since half of all trees cut go to making paper, the only meaningful way to address destruction of our forest is to change the way paper is made.
Quote by -Woody Harrelson
A stimulus is a stimulus. The body doesn't give a damn about the meaning of the stimulus. Whether minnows or communion, the sebaceous glands stand up erect.
Quote by -Thomas Mann
Behind the hieroglyphic streets there would either be a transcendent meaning, or only the earth.
Quote by -Thomas Pynchon
