Thom Yorke Quotes

Family is what grounds you.

My other life keeps me calm and grounded and normal.

Love grounds you. It orients you. Love brings your awareness to others and yourself. Love opens your mind and heart to others and yourself. Love settles you and gives you balance.

The foot feels the foot when it feels the ground.

The heart of standing is you cannot fly.

You can have some stable things in life, and so long as you're not away from those things for too long, they can help keep you grounded.

It's very exciting to have a hit anything and it's also horrifying and a really high-pressure feeling sometimes. I feel like there's no end to the excitement and the freshness, because there's stuff happening every day. I think it's more like, within that whirlwind, how do you actually stay sane and keep your feet on the ground?

I think it's very important to find something that you do that helps center you.

Even when I didn't know anything else about where I was or what I was supposed to be doing. You were my Wayward, even then. Everything always brought me back to you. Everything.

I had forgotten what it was like, to be drawn to a person...I'd forgotten how your blood flows toward a person when they move, so that all at once you know what the pull of gravity feels like. and you know that this is something strong and important, something that you need for life, this woman moving through the room.

The adventure of our first days together gradually blossomed into something else: a feeling I'd never had, which I can only compare to the sensation of returning home, of joining a balance that needs no adjusting, as if the scales of my life had been waiting for her all along.

I say that radiation is inherently disintegrative: it comes apart. Gravity is inherently integrative: it pulls together. And to me, there's a good possibility that love is what I'd call metaphysical gravity. It really holds everything together.

Every tub sits on its bottom.

The day that a woman who is passing before you sheds a light upon you as she goes, you are lost, you love. You have then but one thing to do: to think of her so earnestly that she will be compelled to think of you.

Why do two people fall in love? It's a mystery.

I've never known before what it feels like to want someone - not to want to hook up with them or whatever, but to want them, to want them. And now I do. So maybe I do believe in epiphanies.

Love needs the stiffening of respect, the give and take of equality.

I leaned in toward her, suddenly overwhelmed with the feeling that we must kiss.

Sparks Fly whenever you smile!

Love looketh from the eye, and kindleth love by looking.

In my mind, the sexiest thing in the world is the feeling that you’re wanted.

Seth laughed when he saw me. “Hey,” I said, poking him with my foot, “be nice.” “I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen you look anything less than…” He paused, playing with word choice. “Well-planned.” “Why, you silver-tongued romantic devil. That is the look I usually go for. Other women go for sexy or chic or beautiful. But me? Well-planned all the way.” “You know what I mean. Besides, unplanned isn’t a bad look for you. Not bad at all.” His voice sounded deliciously low and dangerous, and something ignited between us as we held each other’s eyes.

Sometimes when we're not paying attention, relation-ships happen. There is no rule that requires two people in love to be exactly alike.
