I get those fleeting beautiful moments of inner peace and stillness - and then the other 23 hours and 45 minutes of the day I'm a human trying to make it through in this world.

Learning how to be still to really be still and let life happen - that stillness becomes a radiance.

The sound of 'gentle stillness' after all the thunder and wind have passed will the ultimate Word from God.

Uncontrolled the hunger and thirst after God may become an obstacle cutting off the soul from what it desires. If a man would travel far along the mystic road he must learn to desire God intensely but in stillness passively and yet with all his heart and mind and strength.

Once I knew only darkness and stillness... my life was without past or future... but a little word from the fingers of another fell into my hand that clutched at emptiness and my heart leaped to the rapture of living.

One of the things I've always enjoyed is moving around and staying fit. Physicality is such a big part of being an actor but it's also about stillness and silence.

What we have to get clear to kids is that when you offer your stillness and open yourself to the experience of music it pays you back more than you give.
