Kevin Parker Quotes

My life has been about big changes.

We are continuously living a new life, and when the old and the new do not fit nicely together, the old - no longer able to contain the new - should be discarded.

Disenchantment, whether it is a minor disappointment or a major shock, is the signal that things are moving into transition in our lives.

There is always a time to move on.

Life moves forward. The old leaves wither, die and fall away, and the new growth extends forward into the light.

You have to say no to the old ways before you can begin to find the new yes you need.

We have to discard the past / and, as one builds / floor by floor, window by window, / and the building rises, / so do we keep shedding - first, broken tiles, / then proud doors... and each new day / gleams / like an empty / plate.

Sometimes you must shed your skin to save it.

Statistics vary, but in less than seven years there won't be a single cell left in any of our bodies that's the same as it is today. This means that any human being who 'wants' to change is like a mountain river wanting to reach the valley floor. It's a done deal; that's what mountain rivers do, and 'changing' should be our first nature.

Men do change, and change comes like a little wind that ruffles the curtains at dawn, and it comes like the stealthy perfume of wildflowers hidden in the grass. Change may be announced by a small ache, so that you think you're catching cold. Or you may feel a faint disgust for something you loved yesterday. It may even take the form of a hunger that peanuts won't satisfy. Isn't overeating said to be one of the strongest symptoms of discontent. And isn't discontent the lever of change?

Growth is painful. Change is painful. But, nothing is as painful as staying stuck where you do not belong.

I think all my movies are about transitions to some degree.

It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad.

Even when I retired, there was part of me that didn't want to retire. But once you decide it's time to move on then you have to stick with it.

You have to decide when it is time to move on.

Change is hard, but change is good.

I've been through a lot of changes.

Any revival in which I am involved is liable to change.
