3 December 2020 Herbert Read Progress is measured by richness and intensity of experience – by a wider and deeper apprehension of the significance and scope of human existence.
3 December 2020 Andrew Greeley An adolescent is somebody who is in between things. A teenager is somebody who’s kind of permanently there. And so living with them through the various teenage hopes and sorrows and joys was curiously enough a maturing experience for me.
3 December 2020 Michael Eisner Succeeding is not really a life experience that does that much good. Failing is a much more sobering and enlightening experience.

3 December 2020 Georg C. Lichtenberg What is the good of drawing conclusions from experience? I don’t deny we sometimes draw the right conclusions, but don’t we just as often draw the wrong ones?
3 December 2020 James Taylor Though ‘Fire and Rain’ is very personal, for other people it resonates as a sort of commonly held experience… And that’s what happens with me. I write things for personal reasons, and then in some cases it… can be a shared experience.
3 December 2020 Danny Boyle You experience the films through the actors, so they’re all locked into your imagination in some kind of layer of fantasy or hatred or wherever they settle into your imagination.
3 December 2020 Ann Coulter As the leader of twelve apostles, even Jesus had more executive experience than Obama.
3 December 2020 Mike Epps You know, my life’s changed now. I’m starting to experience what people are really supposed to do. You supposed to be married. You’re supposed to have a family, kids, treat your wife right.
3 December 2020 Vivienne Westwood More people should read books. It’s the most concentrated experience you can have.

3 December 2020 Simon Bolivar Judgement comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgement.
3 December 2020 Fiona Apple You can live your whole life in your brain and not experience what’s around you. You go crazy that way.
