Eva Amurri Quotes

Having a little boy has taken me to a very deep place. I am starting to realize everything I ever worried about was such a waste of time.

Don't live in the past. There's no point. You can't change anything. What a waste of time.

'm really proud of 'Sad, Sad World' because it manages to state a very complex paradox of an emotion that I experienced when I had children, which is this great happiness and this great intensity, but with that intensity comes a deeper understanding of the world.

The time I spend with my kids informs every fiber of who I am.

I have learned to live each day as it comes, and not to borrow trouble by dreading tomorrow. It is the dark menace of the future that makes cowards of us.

Forget the past - the future will give you plenty to worry about.

I think there's an anxiety in life where we automatically tend to look to the next thing or we're complaining about the past. Worrying is not going to make it happen or not happen.

If I keep thinking about yesterday, tomorrow might never come.

I'm learning to not worry too much about the future, and it's hard, but I'm doing it.

With every kid, there has just been a deepening of my humanity, because there's no more of a feet-on-the-ground moment than having a child.

Fear is a waste of time.

When you have children, you realize that at the end it's all about passing on, about handing down. The process of letting go, not attachment, but appreciating the beauty and value in the change, the transformation.

I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

For me, my lack of patience in real life - I have always had very little patience. It's been very much my downfall in life. But having a child puts it in perspective. Very quickly you're like, "Oh, I need to learn what patience is."

Gratitude and fear can't stand the sight of each other.

An hour's terror is better than a lifetime of timidity.

The globe is shrinking, the information age is bringing a lot of changes. People are anxious about their future and their children's futures.

If we get the good that belongs to us here and now, we must extract the sweetness of each passing minute while it is ours. That is the real art of living in the today.
