Emmanuel Macron Quotes

No one welcomes chaos, but why crave stability and predictability?

I keep my ears open. The world can change overnight; that's what happens in this world. You never know. You have to keep your eyes and ears open. If you can't keep up, you ain't gonna catch up. I've been making records since 1953, and you just have to keep up.

Learn this great secret of life: What people call interruption or disturbance to their routine is just as much a part of living as the routine. To split life into two parts, one called routine and the other called interruption, is to be caught between them.

When Things Fall Apart” and I quote “Life is a good teacher and a good friend. Things are always in transition, if we could only realize it. Nothing ever sums itself up in the way that we like to dream about. The off-center, in-between state is an ideal situation, a situation in which we don't get caught and we can open our hearts and minds beyond limit. It's a very tender, nonaggressive, open-ended state of affairs.

There are just lots of possibilities in the world...I need to keep my mind open for what could happen and not decide that the world is hopeless if what I want to happen doesn't happen. Because something else great might happen in between.

I hate repetition. Even when I am home and have to buy milk, I go a different way each time to avoid having a habit of anything. Habits are really bad. So to me it is really important to live in what I call the spaces in-between.

I'm not the type of person that just needs to feel concrete and like nothing's going to change. I revel in the change.

There is no normal. What my job was a few years ago was completely different than what it is today. As soon as I have it dialed in, the company changes and the team changes and my role changes as a result. What the company needs is always evolving, and I don't get to choose what I want to do as much as I thought I would be now - which is OK. It keeps me in this position of learning new things and keeping me humble. There is always something I don't know, and I'm comfortable with that.

I think you have to sort of accept that nobody really knows where it's going so there has to be a lot of impulsive kind of attitudes. So it's like a train that's moving and you don't quite know where it's going but you try to steer it in the best way you can realizing that it may go in different places that you had no idea.

We get very set in our ways and it's sometimes hard to look beyond what else is out there.

I like change. I've never really had much consistency in my life, you know, from everyday work to my living situation to whether or not I'm going to be in L.A. The one constant thing in my life is my friends and family, which is all I need.

Habits in writing as in life are only useful if they are broken as soon as they cease to be advantageous.

You never know how things are going to turn out in a movie. You can imagine a scene one way, and it can turn out to be completely the polar opposite of what you expected. You just have to roll with the punches.

Our only security is our ability to change.

Change never bothers me, not really.

You must welcome change as the rule but not as your ruler.

You can only have a short sight because things change a lot. You can't plan what the years will bring.

Things always change and you can't ever say never, because you don't know what is around the corner.

Never get comfortable.

Each new day has a different shape to it. You just roll with it.
