Colin Wilson Quotes

Everything that exists is in a manner the seed of that which will be.

Life is a process. We are a process. The universe is a process.

Growth is the only evidence of life.

I like to see things start, grow, and then move on to better things.

Where there is age there is evolution, where there is life there is growth.

All the evolution we know of proceeds from the vague to the definite.

At some point in your life, if you're lucky, you get to design the way in which things evolve.

Growth necessitates change and change facilitates growth.

Progress knows nothing of fixity. It cannot be pressed into a definite mould…. Progress is ever renewing, ever becoming, ever changing--never is it within the law.

You make a record like 'Jump,' people are stuck in that world. They want you to keep making records like 'Jump.' People don't understand that you got to move on; you got to do something else. You have to evolve and go to something else. And most of the time, when it's time for you to move, other people are not prepared for that move.

Progress often masquerades as trouble.

You cannot have the same kind of character again and again in every season or every stage of your life. You change, people change.

Everyone changes throughout the years.

Life is an evolution.

Life is a movement outward, an unfolding.

Mankind is still embryonic ... [man is] the bud from which something more complicated and more centered than man himself should emerge.

Progress lies not in enhancing what is, but in advancing toward what will be.

All change is not growth, as all movement is not forward.

Without change, something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken.

All experience is an arch, to build upon.

Movement isn't progress.

For your soul's sake, invoke the agent of change called risk, which ensures that things will not be the same tomorrow as they are today. All real change requires risk.

Grow we must, if we outgrow all that loves us.

It is a changing world with changing opportunities.

Everyone changes all the time.
