David Bailey Quotes

I'm a Buddhist, so one of my biggest beliefs is, 'Everything changes, don't take it personally.'

Buddhism teaches you to embrace change.

Our being is continually undergoing and entering upon changes. ... We must, strictly speaking, at every moment give each other up and let each other go and not hold each other back.

Life is a wave, which in no two consecutive moments of its existence is composed of the same particles.

Life is a flux, nothing abides. Still we are such fools, we go on clinging. If change is the nature of life, then clinging is stupidity, because your clinging is not going to change the law of life. Your clinging is only going to make you miserable. Things are bound to change; whether you cling or not does not matter. If you cling you become miserable: you cling and they change, you feel frustrated. If you don't cling they still change, but then there is no frustration because you were perfectly aware that they are bound to change. This is how things are, this is the suchness of life.

I think I prefer the constant renewal. It's almost like sandpapering down any details or any contour of familiarities.

Human beings are works in progress that mistakenly think they’re finished. The person you are right now is as transient, as fleeting and as temporary as all the people you’re ever been. The one constant in our lives is change.

Impermanence is not something to be afraid of. It's the evolution, a never-ending horizon.

Don't cling to things because everything is impermanent.

Everything changes, nothing is lost.

Do not get attatched to the world as it is. Because the world is changing something new is coming.

Time will pass and seasons will come and go.

You don't have to be the Dalai Lama to tell people that life's about change.

I saw that nothing was permanent. You don't want to possess anything that is dear to you because you might lose it.

The results would have stayed on the watch face until the batteries died. But trying to make time stand still this way would have been a mistake. It is just as important to erase times eventually as to save them at first.

No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.

There is nothing so stable as change.

Your journey never ends. Life has a way of changing things in incredible ways.
