Tamora Pierce Quotes

I aspire only to silence.

Never be afraid to sit a while and think.

Sit with silence a lot - real silence, where nothing is happening - because you learn so much in those moments of quiet.

We have what we seek, it is there all the time, and if we give it time, it will make itself known to us.

Only when the clamor of the outside world is silenced will you be able to hear the deeper vibration. Listen carefully.

When you don't know what to do, do nothing. Get quiet so you can hear the still, small voice.

There are six senses: five are outer; they tell you about the world. I say something about the light; without eyes you will not know light. Ears say something about the sound; without ears you will not know anything about the sound. There is a sixth sense, the inner sense, that shows and tells you something about yourself and the ultimate source of things. That sense has to be discovered. Meditation is nothing but the discovery of the inner sense.

Openness, patience, receptivity, solitude is everything.

If only we could be enlightened enough to be able to listen in the silence.

The world may be known Without leaving the house.

The sole cause of all human misery is the inability of people to sit quietly in their rooms.

How can you hear your soul if everyone is talking?

The experience of silence alone is the real and perfect knowledge.

We keep so busy talking we are so keen to act that we forget that in the heart lies all we need untapped, intact.

That's what meditation is. You just sit with yourself.

Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still.

In Silence there is eloquence. Stop weaving and see how the pattern improves.

Silence is something more than just a pause; it is that enchanted place where space is cleared and time is stayed and the horizon itself expands. In silence, we often say, we can hear ourselves think; but what is truer to say is that in silence we can hear ourselves not think....In silence, we might better say, we can hear someone else think.

Wisdom comes with the ability to be still. Just look and listen. No more is needed.

Within the silence, expansion, and sustained day by day concentration, I grow permeable.

Take refuge in silence. You can be here or there or anywhere. Fixed in silence, established in the inner 'I', you can be as you are. The world will never perturb you if you are well founded upon the tranquility within. Gather your thoughts within. Find out the thought centre and discover your Self-equipoise. In storm and turmoil be calm and silent. Watch the events around as a witness. The world is a drama. Be a witness, inturned and introspective.

When you first awaken or before drifting off to sleep, quiet your mind, lift up your heart, muse, mull over, make discoveries. Consider, conceive, create, connect, concede that it all starts within.

All knowledge leads to self-knowledge.

To many mortals silence great gain brings.

If you can become a mirror you have become a meditator. Meditation is nothing but skill in mirroring. And now, no word moves inside you so there is no distraction.
