I have wandered all my life and I have also traveled the difference between the two being this that we wander for distraction but we travel for fulfillment.

We wander for distraction but we travel for fulfillment.

Work is hard. Distractions are plentiful. And time is short.

I had an almost fetishistic attraction to film technology.

Most technological advances in our life now come from serendipitous discoveries. That is a contraction of rocket technology and computer technology and atomic clock technology.

The moment of drifting into thought has been so clipped by modern technology. Our lives are filled with distraction with smartphones and all the rest. People are so locked into not being present.

It is a sign of contraction of the mind when it is content or of weariness. A spirited mind never stops within itself it is always aspiring and going beyond its strength.

He is greatest whose strength carries up the most hearts by the attraction of his own.

I think a big part of our attraction to sport movies are the stories contained within the sports.

A powerful attraction exists therefore to the promotion of a study and of duties of all others engrossing the time most completely and which is less benefited than most others by any acquaintance with science.

Love is about mutual respect apart from attraction.

When you think about it we actors are kind of prostitutes. We get paid to feign attraction and love. Other people are paying to watch us kissing someone touching someone doing things people in a normal monogamous relationship would never do with anyone who's not their partner. It's really kind of gross.

When one has love for God one doesn't feel any physical attraction to wife children relatives and friends. One retains only compassion for them.

We say no to lots of things that would please us. I would like to punch people every now and then but I don't. I would like to have something for free rather than pay for it. I would like to skip to the front of the line... I don't mean to brush aside the taste of meat which is a powerful attraction. But its power is not without limit.

The basic problem with my love relationships with women is that my standards are so high - and they apply equally to both of us. I seek full-blast mutual intensity fully fledged mutual acceptance full-blown mutual flourishing and fully felt peace and joy with each other. This requires a level of physical attraction personal adoration and moral admiration that is hard to find.

Abstraction is real probably more real than nature.

Pure drawing is an abstraction. Drawing and colour are not distinct everything in nature is coloured.

I can write all the way through the morning when my mind is clear and there are no distractions.

Banks are an almost irresistible attraction for that element of our society which seeks unearned money.

I know that campaigns can seem small and even silly. Trivial things become big distractions. Serious issues become sound bites. And the truth gets buried under an avalanche of money and advertising. If you're sick of hearing me approve this message believe me - so am I.

Marriage of attraction is a gamble anyway so you might as well marry into a family that is similar to your own and make that much less of an adjustment. But the 'love marriage' as it is called is equally common in India now. But it would be interesting to do a comparison of what would work better. Marriage is hard work and it is a gamble.

Contrary to current cynicism about past golden ages the abstraction known as 'the intelligent layperson' does exist - in the form of millions of folks with a passionate commitment to continuous learning.

No Child Left Behind's fourth-grade gains aren't learning gains they're testing gains. That's why they don't last. The law is a distraction from things that really count.

The satirist is prevented by repulsion from gaining a better knowledge of the world he is attracted to yet he is forced by attraction to concern himself with the world that repels him.
