I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order.
Nowhere can man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul.
I just stay in my own lane and not worry about what anyone else is doing and settling my own pace.
I neither complain of the past, nor do I fear the future.
Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.
The greatest help to spiritual life is meditation.
I thought I'd finally get to relax with Dimitri.
Okay, take a deep breath, I told myself. Don't go all hormonal. Get the facts straight. Have a mental doughnut.
Breathing in, I calm body and mind. Breathing out, I smile. Dwelling in the present moment I know this is the only moment.
Whatever state you find yourself in, you're supposed to be content there.
My evening really begins when I take a long, hot bath. I light a candle, and I turn on the news and try to catch up. It's when I can breathe from the day to the night, and that means a lot to me.
Acquire peace of mind by making the effort to become the best of which you are capable.
To pretend to be calm is to be calm, in a way.
DJing is my only peace of mind. When the phone is off, I play my favourite songs really loud for myself, and I'm not talking to anyone; I'm not managing anything. It's just, like, a time when I can listen to music.
It's bad for your brain not to unplug.
The man who can centre his thoughts and hopes upon something transcending self can find a certain peace in the ordinary troubles of life, which is impossible to the pure egoist.
I had been anxious and depressed for years and suddenly I was deeply at peace.
I feel like my life is so scattered right now. Like it's all the small pieces of paper and someone's turned on the fan. But, talking to you makes me feel like the fan's been turned off for a little bit. Like things could actually make sense. You completely unscatter me, and I appreciate that so much.
I don't worry about timings or what somebody else is doing in another lane.
Where I once constantly lost my temper, I found myself arriving at a crisis and experiencing peace.
Give us grace and strength to forbear and to persevere. Give us courage and gaiety and the quiet mind, spare to us our friends, soften to us our enemies.
I actually feel most relaxed when I'm working.
Calm of mind, all passion spent.
I don't get to do that very often so to just have a completely free evening where your mind is relaxed enough to read a book is exquisite.
Abjure all accretions and turn off the lights. Put on some music - Leonard Cohen, say, perhaps his 'Various Positions' - and let your mind cool down. Soon you'll forget there's a word called 'stress.'
