I think what we’re attracted to on the page is something that is very difficult to do in life, which is to examine in what seems like a moment.

65
66
The connection to place, to the land, the wind, the sun, stars, the moon… it sounds romantic, but it’s true – the visceral experience of motion, of moving through time on some amazing machine – a few cars touch on it, but not too many compared to motorcycles. I always felt that any motorcycle journey was special.
67

104
105
106
When I work, I’m thinking in terms of purely visual effects and relations, and any verbal equivalent is something that comes afterwards. But it’s inconceivable to me that I could experience things and not have them enter into my painting.

108

109
Twitter is the ultimate service for the mobile age – its simplification and constraint of the publishing medium to 140 characters is perfectly complementary to a mobile experience. People still need longer stuff, but they see the headline on Twitter or Facebook.
110
111
One nice thing about the benefit of long experience with la frontera is that we in Texas don’t have to run around getting all hysterical about immigrants. The border is porous. When you want cheap labor, you open it up; when you don’t, you shut it down. It works to our benefit – it always has.

147
I don’t know about changing my perspective, because motherhood is such a glorious blessing and I am very thankful for that. It’s such a beautiful experience. I so strongly recommend it. It’s bliss, love and fulfillment of another level.
148
149
150

That night at Carnegie Hall was a great experience. When the thing was first put up to me I was a little dubious, not knowing just what would be expected of us.

182

183
A failure is a man who has blundered, but is not able to cash in the experience.
184
185

216
217
I have never entered into any controversy in defense of my philosophical opinions; I leave them to take their chance in the world.

218

228
229

230
My path has not been determined. I shall have more experiences and pass many more milestones.
231
When I’m writing, I’m constantly thinking about myself, because it’s the only experience I have to draw on. And I don’t see an exact reflection of myself in every face in the audience, but I know that my songs have validity to them, and that’s why the fans are there.

257
258
259
People know who Carlo Ancelotti is. He’s a man with a lot of experience.
260
I maybe had a first love and had my heart broken, but reflecting on it, I don’t think that was love. I think as I’m getting older and having more in-depth relationships, maybe I’ll experience it. At the moment, I don’t know, exactly, if I’ve been in love.
261
I love just getting to experience the different types of fans and getting to perform in front of thousands of people every night; that is icing on the cake for me. That is the fun.

280
281
For an average noun or an average verb, an average mind can quickly create reference. Where did they hear it? See it? What does it remind them of? What is its connection?

285

292
Our minds and memories are crowded with the common experience of nature.
293
People who ask confidently get more than those who are hesitant and uncertain. When you’ve figured out what you want to ask for, do it with certainty, boldness and confidence.

294
What a blessing that God allows a life to come through your body, and then allows you to place that body in a body bag and take it out. I had to say that there’s a magnificent something that God has for me to do, to give me that level of completion. That level of experience. It’s unspeakable.
295
Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes.
296

297
298
We’re so mixed up about religion in this culture. We say the Pledge of Allegiance, ‘under God indivisible,’ but there’s no prayer in the schools. I would be so untethered without my personal faith. I wouldn’t be able to go through a day – but that’s my own experience.

‘Fallout 76’ is a very different ‘Fallout’ game. We’re very aware of that. We think a lot of people will like it, because we like it. But a lot of people probably won’t. We need to balance that. This is an idea we have, and there’s a lot of old ‘Fallout’ stuff in it, but it’s a very new experience.
303
There’s something about being in front of a live audience that’s fun. It’s a really interesting, very electric, very alive, and intense experience, and you can’t get it anywhere else. And I’ve been doing it since I was 23, so it’s part of my being – it’s part of my fabric as a person.
304
For me, I don’t expect to have a really amazing meal each time I dine out. Having a good meal with your loved ones – that’s what makes the experience.
305
Sydney‘s a beautiful city. It was a great experience.
306
All experience is subjective.
307
Experience is what you get while looking for something else.
308
It’s all about the experience and having a good time and connecting with the fans.
309
310
I had a great experience working with Dynamite on Masks, and had just gotten started on a stint on The Shadow with them when they floated the idea of a Captain Action series. I’ve been a little obsessed with the character since I was first introduced to him in the pages of Amazing Heroes back in the early 1980s.
311
Bitter experience has taught us how fundamental our values are and how great the mission they represent.
312
Judgment comes from experience – and experience comes from bad judgment.
313
Before I was hired by Obama‘s team as the CTO for his 2012 re-election campaign, I had certainly never been involved with anything of that nature before. Yet, I somehow knew I could do the job. I attribute that confidence to my experience as a hacker and the subsequent willingness to take risks.
314
Being in love is the only transcendent experience.
315
316
The inspiration came suddenly again to surrender to the Mother. It was quite unexpected: And so somehow I made a surrender to the Mother. Then I had an experience of overwhelming love. Waves of love sort of flowed into me.
317
If you want to create a great product, just focus on one person. Make that one person have the most amazing experience ever.
318
319
Never, never and never again shall it be that this beautiful land will again experience the oppression of one by another.
320
Reading a book is like re-writing it for yourself. You bring to a novel, anything you read, all your experience of the world. You bring your history and you read it in your own terms.
321
322
What you see is not what others see. We inhabit parallel worlds of perception, bounded by our interests and experience. What is obvious to some is invisible to others.
323
I’ve always said that the experience of meeting an artist that you are in awe of and that you hope to create with one day is usually disappointing because you put them up on a pedestal, and then you’re like, ‘Wow, that’s not a nice person.’
324
I think in a lot of romantic comedies it ends with a kiss, and I feel like in modern day relationships, and maybe just my own experience, it starts with a kiss and then all sort of falls apart and then comes together. You’re texting. You’re wondering what’s going on. There’s no definitions, there’s no labels.
325
326
Everyone has a purpose in life and a unique talent to give to others. And when we blend this unique talent with service to others, we experience the ecstasy and exultation of own spirit, which is the ultimate goal of all goals.
327
I like a movie that brings out many discussions. From my experience, every time I have done movies, they create this kind of situation. Like ‘Irreversible,’ ‘The Passion of the Christ,’ ‘Malena’; it’s so interesting. I like to explore the dark side of humanity. That’s why I’m an actor.
328
329
I’ve had a wonderful experience here at Penn State.
330
331
My experience with songwriting is usually so confessional, it’s so drawn from my own life and my own stories.
332
Uber is efficiency with elegance on top. That’s why I buy an iPhone instead of an average cell phone, why I go to a nice restaurant and pay a little bit more. It’s for the experience.
333
334
Literature transmits incontrovertible condensed experience… from generation to generation. In this way literature becomes the living memory of a nation.
335
Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.
336
337
Science is a way of life. Science is a perspective. Science is the process that takes us from confusion to understanding in a manner that’s precise, predictive and reliable – a transformation, for those lucky enough to experience it, that is empowering and emotional.
338
It is very important for a priest, in the parish itself, to see how people trust in him and to experience, in addition to their trust, also their generosity in pardoning his weaknesses.
339
340
341
But inner experience is only one source of human knowledge.
342
In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins: cash and experience. Take the experience first; the cash will come later.
343
344
345
Wisdom and penetration are the fruit of experience, not the lessons of retirement and leisure. Great necessities call out great virtues.
346
It’s just been such an amazing experience from the day I started on ‘Smackdown.’
347
Experience keeps a dear school, but fools will learn in no other.
348
349
Death is not an event in life: we do not live to experience death. If we take eternity to mean not infinite temporal duration but timelessness, then eternal life belongs to those who live in the present.
350
Myth is an attempt to narrate a whole human experience, of which the purpose is too deep, going too deep in the blood and soul, for mental explanation or description.
351
QTE is a very strange thing… it really depends on what you expect from your game experience.
352
353
354
Along the way, let’s never forget that once we were children and that we were all playing together without distinction of skin color, society level, or where people come from. Adults need to remember to play and to be more childlike in our behavior. We’ve forgotten what that childlike experience was like.
355
Theaters are always going to be around, and doing fine. With computers and technology, we’re becoming more and more secluded from each other. And the movie theater is one of the last places where we can still gather and experience something together. I don’t think the desire for that magic will ever go away.
356
All theory is against freedom of the will; all experience for it.
357
Doing a mall is not only construction of the physical place: what is important is the merchandising mix. We strive to serve the convenience of the public. We want shopping at our malls to be a unique and an enjoyable experience.
358
359
360
361
We learn from each other. We learn from others’ mistakes, from their experience, their wisdom. It makes it easier for us to come to better decisions in our own lives.
362
Experience should be a plus as long as it doesn’t become complacency. If you say, ‘We’re not going to change; we didn’t do it that way before,’ then you’ve become too old.
363
I’ve been lucky enough – well, maybe unlucky enough – to have had a lot of friends who have had their ups and downs. And for an actor, that’s good. Life experience in any regard is good. So I’ve seen a lot and I’ve had my own experiences.
364
I’m a risk-taker. Most of my career has not been a joyful experience, but it has been challenging. I like the dangers.
365
As an artist, the more experience, the better the creation. I’m a very positive person.
366
I know that I’m just a spirit. I’m just a soul living a human experience. You come here for a purpose. So, once you acknowledge that and acknowledge that God put you here for a reason, I feel like you gotta fulfill that as much as possible.
367
I lived in a dictatorship in Brazil, and I was arrested three times. I felt in my flesh what it is to live under such a regime and experience deprivation of freedom.
368
Becoming a mother has been the most amazing experience – in an instant, you become strong. You have to be a little bit wiser; it’s the most important job in the world.
369
To be absolutely alone for the first time in the cockpit of a plane hundreds of feet above the ground is an experience never to be forgotten.
370
371
Zumba is a great dance-cardio option that’s an immersive experience for participants and is not only effective but allows you to express yourself while getting in shape.
372
In wisdom gathered over time I have found that every experience is a form of exploration.
373
Transplant is a life-changing ‘experience. Organ donation transforms lives. It is torture for you, torment for you as an individual in need.
374
I regrettably wasted time at university by being overwhelmed and intimidated by the talent of other composers. I felt stuck and didn’t know what I was doing there. I enjoyed my experience, but I didn’t grab it in the way I would now.
375
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.
376
Being a part of ‘Empire‘ was a wonderful experience and opportunity to work with everyone involved.
377
My mom said, ‘Don’t get married. You’re too young. Go out there and experience what life has to offer.’ And I did.
378
The traveler was active; he went strenuously in search of people, of adventure, of experience. The tourist is passive; he expects interesting things to happen to him. He goes ‘sight-seeing.’
379
380
381
382
We will hire someone with less experience, less education, and less expertise than someone who has more of those things and has a rotten attitude. Because we can train people. We can teach people how to lead. We can teach people how to provide customer service. But we can’t change their DNA.
383
Any place that anyone can learn something useful from someone with experience is an educational institution.
384
God’s way of answering the Christian’s prayer for more patience, experience, hope and love often is to put him into the furnace of affliction.
385
The spirituality that I experience sometimes touches on religion, in that I resonate with the thread of continuity that permeates through all religions. But in terms of it being a concretized, organized part of my life, it’s not.
386
Staying at Airbnb listings gives me the opportunity to truly understand and experience the local culture of the countries I visit.
387
388
389
Definitely working on ‘Deal or No Deal’ was a learning experience, and it helped me to understand what I would rather be doing.
390
391
392
Other people do not have to change for us to experience peace of mind.
393
Each one of us has our own evolution of life, and each one of us goes through different tests which are unique and challenging. But certain things are common. And we do learn things from each other’s experience. On a spiritual journey, we all have the same destination.
394
Surely all art is the result of one’s having been in danger, of having gone through an experience all the way to the end, where no one can go any further.
395
396
Exile is not a time frame. Exile is an experience. It’s a sentiment.
397
Life is short and the older you get, the more you feel it. Indeed, the shorter it is. People lose their capacity to walk, run, travel, think, and experience life. I realise how important it is to use the time I have.
398
399
I keep wondering how to explain the experience of child abuse from the inside. I’m going to try to explain what my world was like when I was sexually abused. The thing you have to remember is that this was the thinking of a child.
400
Donald Trump is a phenomenon that foreign countries haven’t seen. So it is a shocking experience to them that he came in to office.
401
When I moved to Minnesota, I found there was a thriving and determined movement, a grassroots movement, to revitalize the Ojibwe language. And I’ve never come to be a competent speaker. I have to say that right now. But even learning the amount of Ojibwe that one can at my age is a life-altering experience.
402
Experience demonstrates that there may be a wages of slavery only a little less galling and crushing in its effects than chattel slavery, and that this slavery of wages must go down with the other.
403
404
By experience we find out a short way by a long wandering.
405
When my kids were young, we could move and experience different countries and, in my case, different clubs and different football, but there is a moment when they need some stability.
406
The aim of all commentary on art now should be to make works of art – and, by analogy, our own experience – more, rather than less, real to us. The function of criticism should be to show how it is what it is, even that it is what it is, rather than to show what it means.
407
408
409
Human experience depends on everything that can influence states of the human brain, ranging from changes in our genome to changes in the global economy.
410
411
Bill Clinton‘s foreign policy experience stems mainly from having breakfast at the International House of Pancakes.
412
There is no compression algorithm for experience.
413
414
What keeps me going are my learnings, which I would rather call my ‘experience,’ and my urge to explore.
415
Experience teaches only the teachable.
416
417
418
419
I enjoyed every experience that life offers.
420
One has to go beyond the mind to experience the spiritual bliss of desirelessness.
421
If you want to know the taste of a pear, you must change the pear by eating it yourself. If you want to know the theory and methods of revolution, you must take part in revolution. All genuine knowledge originates in direct experience.
422
The best scientist is open to experience and begins with romance – the idea that anything is possible.
423
When public figures think they can open a business even though they’ve got no business experience, it’s a bad idea.
424
425
Creativity is an energy. It’s a precious energy, and it’s something to be protected. A lot of people take for granted that they’re a creative person, but I know from experience, feeling it in myself, it is a magic; it is an energy. And it can’t be taken for granted.
426
427
A lot of people think they should be happy all the time. But the writer understands you need both. You need the whole piano: the richness of the whole human experience. Depression, suffering and anger are all part of being human.
428
I experience a period of frightening clarity in those moments when nature is so beautiful. I am no longer sure of myself, and the paintings appear as in a dream.
429
Travel is a new experience that can transport you out of your everyday routine to create memories with the ones you love.
430
I had a lot of experience with people smarter than I am.
431
It took me years to understand that words are often as important as experience, because words make experience last.
432
All growth is a leap in the dark, a spontaneous unpremeditated act without benefit of experience.
433
I’m not a big fan of religion for that reason. But I am a true believer in God, and I have great faith, and I think that a spiritual connection with something is a really important part of our experience. That doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with the church.
434
Just as the wave cannot exist for itself, but is ever a part of the heaving surface of the ocean, so must I never live my life for itself, but always in the experience which is going on around me.
435
436
The sole substitute for an experience which we have not ourselves lived through is art and literature.
437
Every day is a new journey for me, and I feel like, in my lifetime, I’ve been blessed to experience such a lot.
438
Most of the images of reality on which we base our actions are really based on vicarious experience.
439
440
Let us be about setting high standards for life, love, creativity, and wisdom. If our expectations in these areas are low, we are not likely to experience wellness. Setting high standards makes every day and every decade worth looking forward to.
441
It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues.
442
My late mother moved back to her parents’ homeland in the 1990s when Ukraine and Russia, along with the thirteen other former Soviet republics, became independent states. Drawing on her experience as a lawyer in Canada, she served as executive officer of the Ukrainian Legal Foundation, an NGO she helped to found.
443
People don’t want to experience change; they just want to wake up, and it’s different.
444
I write from my life, my experience. I’m selfish that way.
445
446
Imagination is a very potent thing, and in the uneducated often usurps the place of genuine experience.
447
I hate to generalize, but in general, both men and women suffer from ageism. Men much less because men gain power as they get older. Women lose power as they get older. Men are seen as gaining experience and being distinguished. Sons look forward to replacing their fathers.
448
449
Genius is the ability to renew one’s emotions in daily experience.
450
451
You cannot create experience. You must undergo it.
452
453
The dominant characteristic of an authentic spiritual life is the gratitude that flows from trust – not only for all the gifts that I receive from God, but gratitude for all the suffering. Because in that purifying experience, suffering has often been the shortest path to intimacy with God.
454
Our mission is to empower people to experience the world.
455
I am so used to seeing the sort of play which deals with one man and two women. They do not leave me with the feeling I have made a full theatrical meal they do not give me the experience of the multiplicity of life.
456
457
458
It’s not possible to experience constant euphoria, but if you’re grateful, you can find happiness in everything.
459
Before people complain of the obscurity of modern poetry, they should first examine their consciences and ask themselves with how many people and on how many occasions they have genuinely and profoundly shared some experience with another.
460
It’s happening: Lou Dobbs’ dream come true and Silicon Valley‘s worst nightmare. We’re already seeing the reverse brain drain as smart immigrants take their U.S. educations and experience building companies and creating technology back to their home countries.
461
It’s so different when you change your hair color, you’re treated so differently. It’s a very funny experience. It’s fun – I love changing up my hair.
462
I think the only way for you to grow and evolve is to keep listening, keep moving forward, keep jumping in and trying to experience.
463
Acting is a question of absorbing other people’s personalities and adding some of your own experience.
464
I love being immersed in nature, going to places in the world that are pristine and untouched by man. It’s almost a religious experience when you go to a place like the Amazon, and there’s no civilisation for thousands of miles.
465
466
467
To wear a floral shirt is an experience.
468
469
470
Mistakes are painful when they happen, but years later a collection of mistakes is what is called experience.
471
I didn’t think; I experimented.
472
Everything you do, every experience that you have, enlightens you a little bit or worsens you.

474
475
476
The only source of knowledge is experience.
477
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
478
Breathe-in experience, breathe-out poetry.
479
And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high.
480
481
Coincidence is a recognized element in ‘real life.’ All of us have anecdotes about those times when, by the merest coincidence, we avoided some disaster or stumbled onto some wonderful experience.
482
Being exposed to theory, stimulated by a basic love of concepts and mathematics, was a marvelous experience.
483
Social psychology is especially interested in the effect which the social group has in the determination of the experience and conduct of the individual member.
484
485
Life is full of change and uncertainty. We know this. We experience it on a daily basis.
486

487
Is there anyone so wise as to learn by the experience of others?
488
Making sushi is an art, and experience is everything.
489
The experience of reading a printed comic book will never change, but now, thanks to the digital age, there are many different ways to enjoy the same story. Digital comic books, of course, can be interactive in many different ways, allowing the reader to feel like a participant in the story.
490
The sky is the limit. You never have the same experience twice.
491
The greatest gift is a passion for reading. It is cheap, it consoles, it distracts, it excites, it gives you knowledge of the world and experience of a wide kind. It is a moral illumination.
492
Play is a uniquely adaptive act, not subordinate to some other adaptive act, but with a special function of its own in human experience.
493
494
495
496
It is our experience that political leaders do not always mean the opposite of what they say.
497
You learn from a conglomeration of the incredible past – whatever experience gotten in any way whatsoever.
498
499
Nothing which has entered into our experience is ever lost.
500
A kite needs to be tied down in order to fly. I learned how important restrictions can sometimes be in order to experience freedom.
501
Gratitude bestows reverence, allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies, those transcendent moments of awe that change forever how we experience life and the world.
502
After marriage, every woman wants to settle down and have children. I have no regrets. I was occupied in my little world, enjoying each and every experience that came my way.
503
504
505
‘The Daily Show‘ was like my family. We had dogs in the office every day, all day. It was just such a warm, beautiful, sweet experience for me. Choosing to leave the show was so hard because I really, really loved everybody there, and I loved what it gave me and the platform it gave me.
506
I keep saying this, and I truly mean this: I think that when you experience true love, it never really goes away.
507
Experience is the best teacher of all. And for that, there are no guarantees that one will become an artist. Only the journey matters.
508
What each must seek in his life never was on land or sea. It is something out of his own unique potentiality for experience, something that never has been and never could have been experienced by anyone else.
509
510
To experience sublime natural beauty is to confront the total inadequacy of language to describe what you see. Words cannot convey the scale of a view that is so stunning it is felt.
