3 December 2020 Joseph Campbell I don’t believe people are looking for the meaning of life as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive.
3 December 2020 Walter Pater Experience, already reduced to a group of impressions, is ringed round for each one of us by that thick wall of personality through which no real voice has ever pierced on its way to us, or from us to that which we can only conjecture to be without.
3 December 2020 Muhammad Iqbal Another way of judging the value of a prophet’s religious experience, therefore, would be to examine the type of manhood that he has created, and the cultural world that has sprung out of the spirit of his message.
3 December 2020 Susan Orlean Parents, it seems, have an almost Olympian persistence when it comes to suggesting more secure and lucrative lines of work for their children who have the notion that writing is an actual profession. I say this from experience.
3 December 2020 Vin Diesel When you go to the movies with your whole family, it’s a different experience. For some reason, it’s something that you’re all doing together and you take away something special in that.
3 December 2020 Denis Waitley Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.
3 December 2020 Ai Weiwei I don’t believe in the so-called Olympic spirit. I speak from personal experience. When China hosted the Games, it failed to include the people. The event was constructed without regard for their joy.
3 December 2020 Ellen Key At every step the child should be allowed to meet the real experience of life the thorns should never be plucked from his roses.

3 December 2020 Niklas Zennstrom You shouldn’t be afraid of failure – when something fails, you think, ‘What did I learn from that experience? I can do better next time.’ Then kill that project and move on to the next. Don’t get disappointed.
