“I move, therefore I am.”
- Haruki Murakami
“Consciousness is only possible through change;
change is only possible through movement.”
- Aldos Huxley
“We see in order to move; we move in order to
see.”
- William Gibson
“Sometimes it’s only in the ecstasy of
unrepressed movement that we may enter the stillness of our authentic selves. In
such sacred moments, the world seems to be in step. This is why the idea of
finding love across the dance floor endure — symbolizing that, when we know the
true rhythm of our heart, we know the other.”
- Alexandra Katehakis
“Life is a movement, a constant movement in
relationship; and thought, trying to capture that movement in terms of the past,
as memory, is afraid of life.”
- Jiddu Krishnamurti
"Children do not learn that books exist, that
armchairs exist, etc. etc., ─they learn to fetch books, sit in armchairs, etc.
etc."
- Ludwig Wittgenstein

“None of your knowledge, your reading, your
connections will be of any use here: two legs suffice, and big eyes to see with.
Walk alone, across mountains or through forests. You are nobody to the hills or
the thick boughs heavy with greenery. You are no longer a role, or a status, not
even an individual, but a body, a body that feels sharp stones on the paths, the
caress of long grass and the freshness of the wind. When you walk, the world has
neither present nor future: nothing but the cycle of mornings and evenings.
Always the same thing to do all day: walk. But the walker who marvels while
walking (the blue of the rocks in a July evening light, the silvery green of
olive leaves at noon, the violet morning hills) has no past, no plans, no
experience. He has within him the eternal child. While walking I am but a simple
gaze.”
- Frédéric Gros
“Take action! An inch of movement will bring
you closer to your goals than a mile of intention.”
- Steve Maraboli
