New Experience Quotes

“Stepping out of one’s world or out of one’s habitual self is a transcendental experience. [...] If we seek transcendence, we may have many visions, but we will surely end where we started. If we opt for growth, we may have our moments of transcendence, but they will be peak experiences along the steady road to a richer and more secure self. (32-33)”
― Alexander Lowen

“I inhale and a zephyr enters my body. The earth tilts its axis, changing my view of the heavens. Two clouds appear in the shape of trumpets. They part and rays of sunlight burst in. The sunlight speaks, 'Seek a new experience.”
― Lawren Leo, Love's Shadow: Nine Crooked Paths

“Do not be afraid to start something new and be a beginner/student again.”
― Robin S. Baker

“Living in mental cruise control and making nothing but safe choices leads to boredom and complacency. A breakthrough in happiness, self-awareness, and mental toughness requires new experience.”
― Simon Marshall, The Brave Athlete: Calm the F*ck Down and Rise to the Occasion

“थोड़ी सी खुश मैं हूं मैं, थोड़ा डर भी है
लम्होन से भरा सफर भी है
उलझन में हूं; जो देख रही हूं वो पहले देखा नहीं.
जो भी है, नया सा है; यह महसूस कभी किया नहीं
खुश तो हूं पर गम की हमें फिकर भी है”
― - ऋधि (Ridhi)

“They ordered a parade of tapas and shared everything: petal-pink yellowfin tuna with bright orange habanada peppers drizzled in olive oil and sprinkled with sea salt crystals the size of snowflakes; melt-in-your-mouth clams drenched in butter, white wine, and a confetti of parsley, and when the clams had been eaten, Gabe read her mind and ordered extra bread to sop up the sauce; a small bouquet of crispy shrimp heads--- at first glance Iris recoiled at their black eyes unseeing beneath a heavy dusting of red spice, but Gale dug right in, crunching as carelessly as a lion. Iris stalled and hesitated over trying one, laughing as Gabe cheered her on, yelping when the whiskery antennae tickled her nose, until she finally gave one a hasty chomp. Gabe was right, it was delicious--- a riot of different textures and tastes such that she savored her next bites--- even if she did leave the eyes uneaten. And finally the piri piri half chicken, the aroma alone evoked a future longing before the first bite was taken.”
― Francesca Serritella, Full Bloom
