It is the prayer of my innermost being to realize my supreme identity in the liberated play of consciousness, the Vast Expanse. Now is the moment, Here is the place of Liberation. – Alex Grey
I don’t storyboard. I guess it dates back to my days in live television, where there was no possibility of storyboarding and everything was shot right on the spot – on the air, as we say – at the moment we were transmitting. I prefer to be open to what the actors do, how they interact to the given situation. – Arthur Penn
I come from the world of improv; I love any show or any vehicle that gives me an opportunity to be in the moment. – Brad Garrett
Spacewalking trumps everything. Viscerally, it is a phenomenal place to be; to be able to glance right and see the world, glance left and see the universe, and realise for a moment that you’re holding on to your known existence with one hand. That’s the thing. – Chris Hadfield
The moment someone asks you to do something you don’t have the time or inclination to do is fraught with vulnerability. – Brene Brown
We are born at a given moment, in a given place and, like vintage years of wine, we have the qualities of the year and of the season of which we are born. Astrology does not lay claim to anything more. – Carl Jung
A great writer creates a world of his own and his readers are proud to live in it. A lesser writer may entice them in for a moment, but soon he will watch them filing out. – Cyril Connolly
Cannes or any other major festival is basically an animal in its own nature, creating very specific perceptions of films in a moment. – Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
A novel is a collision of ideas. Three or four threads may be floating around in the writer’s consciousness, and at a single moment in time, these ideas collide and produce a novel. – Anita Shreve
I try to live the moment and not obey laws, rules, conventions, or norms; to react to a sensation, a feeling, or an emotion. You can’t program emotion. – Anne Parillaud
The one thing I think I’ve noticed about shows that are supposed to be funny on television is that they’ve sort of become routinized, so there’s an awful lot of mannerisms and joke lines that are sort of there to trigger laughter, rather than give actors a chance to play a moment. – Alan Alda
The worst moment was when I was performing and I was about to sing, but I choked. I had a tickle in my throat and I started coughing, and I couldn’t get the words out. It lasted for like thirty seconds, but I got over it, and luckily the crowd didn’t seem to care. – Chris Brown
The challenge of film is making it right there at that moment, and then you get to move on. – Bernadette Peters
I had a moment where I was like, ‘I’m so tired of waiting for other people to accept me.’ – Bebe Rexha
It’s important for me who is at the table with me; the moment when everyone speaks to each other and everyone listens. If there’s good food, it’s much better. – Andrea Bocelli
I had ridiculous amounts of energy. Mom’s like, you’re driving me crazy – do you want to try gymnastics? From the moment I started it, I loved it and it kind of was like storybook from there. – Alicia Sacramone
In virtual reality, we’re placing the viewer inside a moment or a story… made possible by sound and visual technology that’s actually tricking the brain into believing it’s somewhere else. – Chris Milk
Let’s assume for the moment that the logic behind Presidents Day is actually sound for certain presidents. Why not have a separate holiday for Lincoln and one for Washington – as we used to do, before we became so concerned with the ‘Every President Gets a Trophy’ ethos? – Ben Shapiro
Truth is the most bitter to accept, swallow and digest it. The moment you speak truth, you lose your popularity. But I don’t care. – Bikram Choudhury
I’ve sat looking down into a volcano that could blow at any moment; I’ve helped catch a shark and several rattlesnakes; I let a tarantula walk across my hand, and I ate rat soup. – Alan Alda
The best gift we can have is living in the present moment and really enjoying it for what it is; and, not being in our heads and getting sidetracked. – Amy Smart
Luxury is anything that feels special. I mean, it can be a moment, it can be a walk on the beach, it could be a kiss from your child, or it could be a beautiful picture frame, a special fragrance. I think luxury doesn’t necessarily have to mean expensive. – Aerin Lauder
I probably revisit in my work the moment at which I realised that dreams couldn’t be reality. – Alice Lowe
I can be jubilant one moment and pensive the next, and a cloud could go by and make that happen. – Bob Dylan
I think it’s our job to write about what we’re going through at the moment, and being 41, I’m not going to write about the same things I wrote about at 20. I don’t think artists should be farmed out to pasture just because they’re in rock n’ roll. – Bonnie Raitt
A writer stops writing the moment he or she puts the last full stop to their text, and at that point the book is in limbo and doesn’t come to life until the reader picks it up and the reader flips the pages. – Alberto Manguel
I have often been asked what I think about at the moment of take-off. Of course, no pilot sits and feels his pulse as he flies. He has to be part of the machine. If he thinks of anything but the task in hand, then trouble is probably just around the corner. – Amelia Earhart
Could it be, I wonder, that there is such a thing as a wantologist, someone we can hire to figure out what we want? Have I arrived at some final telling moment in my research on outsourcing intimate parts of our lives, or at the absurdist edge of the market frontier? – Arlie Russell Hochschild
I don’t tend to do a whole Instagram theme. I like to capture the moment in front of me and make it look as good as possible! – Connor Franta
I was always concerned with writing to my age at a particular moment. That was the way I would keep faith with the audience that supported me as I went along. – Bruce Springsteen
