The past is over and done and cannot be changed. This is the only moment we can experience.
God doesn't love you more when you obey, you experience Him more!
I'm not particularly precious about the theatrical experience any more.
You'll fail at some things - that's a learning experience that you need so that you can take that on to the next experience. What you learn from those challenges and those failures are what will get you past the next ones. . . I was the pretty consistent bull and the cheerleader on eBay actually.
Sephora's business is really smart and clever - I'm all for anything that gets people up and out and into the social experience of shopping.
With acting, it was really more of a general kind of experience of really just loving being in the theater.
There is no wider gulf in the universe than yawns between those on the hither and thither side of vital experience.
I believe it’s true to say that everyone who has experienced LSD or another psychedelic would look on that experience, especially the first one, as a major life-changing event.
. . . . the popular music of Jamaica, the music of the people, is an essentially experiential music, not merely in the sense that the people experience the music, but also in the sense that the music is true to the historical experience, that the music reflects the historical experience. It is the spiritual expression of the historical experience of the Afro-Jamaican.
Every experience is worth having.
It will comfort us when we must wait in distress for the Savior's promised relief that He knows, from experience, how to heal and help us. The Book of Mormon gives us the certain assurance of His power to comfort. And faith in that power will give us patience as we pray and work and wait for help. He could have known how to succor us simply by revelation, but He chose to learn by His own personal experience.
If one is only to talk from first-hand experience, conversation would be a very poor business.
Take every failure as an experience, cause to be successful you need experience.
Bill Dickey learned me all his experience.
The waking dreams of life as most people know them are spiritual experiences, but there is another order of spiritual experience and that's to be in the garden of the heart, in the perfect stillness, where the white light of eternity meets the white light of eternity.
Families are where children live. Almost everything they experience is in the context of family life.
Acting is something I appreciate, and I think it's been an amazing experience. But I'm not passionate about acting the way you probably should be to call yourself an actor.
We can't change every little thing that happens to us in life, but we can change the way that we experience it.
The sensation of seeing extremely fine women, with superb forms, perfectly unconscious of undress, and yet evidently aware of their beauty and dignity, is worth a week's seasickness to experience. . . . To me the effect [of a Siva dance] was that of a dozen Rembrandts intensified into the most glowing beauty of life and motion.
I find it interesting that people often seem to believe that authors of realistic fiction are directly translating their personal experiences into their work. The fact is that telling a story is a transformative experience. There is rarely a one-to-one translation onto the page unless you're writing memoir, and even then, memory is unreliable. I think that the best books feel emotionally true, and that truth has to be rooted in real-world experience.
