Waves Quotes

“Half of me is filled with bursting words and half of me is painfully shy. I crave solitude yet also crave people. I want to pour life and love into everything yet also nurture my self-care and go gently. I want to live within the rush of primal, intuitive decision, yet also wish to sit and contemplate. This is the messiness of life - that we all carry multitudes, so must sit with the shifts. We are complicated creatures, and ultimately, the balance comes from this understanding. Be water. Flowing, flexible and soft. Subtly powerful and open. Wild and serene. Able to accept all changes, yet still led by the pull of steady tides. It is enough.”
― Victoria Erickson

“You never really know what's coming. A small wave, or maybe a big one. All you can really do is hope that when it comes, you can surf over it, instead of drown in its monstrosity.”
― Alysha Speer

“Her happiness floated like waves of ocean along the coast of her life. She found lyrics of her life in his arms but she never sung her song.”
― Santosh Kalwar

“I tried to discover, in the rumor of forests and waves, words that other men could not hear, and I pricked up my ears to listen to the revelation of their harmony.”
― Gustave Flaubert, November

“The sea is a desert of waves,
A wilderness of water.”
― Langston Hughes, Selected Poems

“Some details in life may look insignificant but appear to be vital leitmotifs in a person's life. They may have the value of "Rosebuds" of Citizen Kane or "Madeleine cookies" of Marcel Proust or "Strawberry fields" of the Beatles. People regularly walk down the memory lane of their early youth. The paper boats of their childhood are recurrently floating on the waves of their mind and bring back the mood and the spirit of the early days. They enable us to retreat from the trivial, daily worries and can generate delightful bliss and true joy in a sometimes frantic and chaotic life. ("Paper boats forever" )”
― Erik Pevernagie

“Waves are the voices of tides. Tides are life," murmured Niko. "They bring new food for shore creatures, and take ships out to sea. They are the ocean's pulse, and our own heartbeat.”
― Tamora Pierce, Sandry's Book

“The waves broke and spread their waters swiftly over the shore. One after another they massed themselves and fell; the spray tossed itself back with the energy of their fall. The waves were steeped deep-blue save for a pattern of diamond-pointed light on their backs which rippled as the backs of great horses ripple with muscles as they move. The waves fell; withdrew and fell again, like the thud of a great beast stamping.”
― Virginia Woolf, The Waves

“A world without dialogue is a universe of darkness. If people don't get together and share views and exchange ideas, they remain unaware, ignorant, and unconscious. As they live in a space that they don't understand, everything becomes meaningless, incoherent, and forcefully scary. If fear rules our lives, we lose the core of our being, since 'fear' is disrupting the schedule of our existence, and blocks the waves of the good vibrations. ("Beware of the neighbor")”
― Erik Pevernagie

“The rapture of an ‘innocent moment’ or an “unsuspected instant” can overwhelm us at any time, throughout our lives, and surprise us with a storm of liberating waves of good vibrations.( What do they think behind their dirty aprons?)”
― Erik Pevernagie

“If we remain rooted in our integrity and envision life in its intense, original beauty, we can create an authentic mindset allowing us to surf freely on the waves of our aspirations. ("Into a new life")”
― Erik Pevernagie

“Through living in a space that we do not understand, everything may become meaningless, incoherent, and forcefully scary. If fear rules our lives, we lose the core of our being, since 'fear' disrupts the schedule of our existence and blocks the soothing waves of the sound vibrations. (“Because the world has corona”)”
― Erik Pevernagie

“[The waves] move across a faint horizon, the rush of love and the surge of grief, the respite of peace and then fear again, the heart that beats and then lies still, the rise and fall and rise and fall of all of it, the incoming and the outgoing, the infinite procession of life. And the ocean wraps the earth, a reminder. The mysteries come forward in waves.”
― Susan Casey, The Wave: In Pursuit of the Rogues, Freaks, and Giants of the Ocean

“I wish to spend a lifetime near a lighthouse where loneliness will be the glimmer of luminous prancing upon ocean waves… rising and falling only for my breathing.”
― Munia Khan

“Dance with the waves,
move with the sea.
Let the rhythm of the water
set your soul free.”
― Christy Ann Martine

“Photons also are highly conscious beings. They know when they’re being observed, and they know how to get to where they’re going, regardless of obstacles. If there is a pathway or many, the photon will know them all instantaneously and use them all. It exists in the quantum state and can be in more than one place at the same time. Its awareness is unlimited. It can synchronize itself with the quantum state of the universe.”
― Kenneth Schmitt, Quantum Energetics and Spirituality Volume 1: Aligning with Universal Consciousness

“Nothing like poetry when you lie awake at night. It keeps the old brain limber. It washes away the mud and sand that keeps on blocking up the bends.
Like waves to make the pebbles dance on my old floors. And turn them into rubies and jacinths; or at any rate, good imitations.”
― Joyce Cary, The Horse's Mouth

“Waves tossed themselves against the shore, dragging grit and sand between their nails as they were slowly pulled back out to sea.”
― Holly Black, Tithe

“When they are gay, the waves echo their gaiety; but when they are sad, then every breaker, as it rolls, seems to bring additional sadness, and to speak to us of hopelessness and of the pettiness of all our joys.”
― Baroness Orczy

“...what he told himself on those sea-soaked nights...Others joined in and it was discovered that every light had a story-no, every light was a story. And the flashes themselves were the stories going out over the waves, as markers and guides and comfort and warning.”
― Jeanette Winterson, Lighthousekeeping

“Cars they sound like waves that are breaking
On some distant shore
I gazed so hard into the great aching sky
It seemed that I， I wasn’t here no more
That my rushing blood was a river
My eyes two stars
My blowing hair all a quiver
A whispering field of grass
That murmurs as you pass
Oh my darlin’ Kathleen
That whispers out your name
”
― David gray

“Sometimes she wants to drift away like ocean waves and sometimes she wants to stay still like a river, wrapped in solitude.”
― Nitya Prakash

“soulsThat we might break these molds
And free our restless souls
Start to believe
That we can rise above
Our pettiness and love
Like we ain't loved before
Free on this earth
As the surf that rolls
And crashes on the shore
And hey now don't run and hide
Your little heart away
If it's gone
We'll sure never find it
Pining for lost innocence
Tantalisingly I saw
Our shadows moving through the door
Traces from a different time
When I was yours and you were truly mine
All mine”
― David Gray

“There are always waves on the water. Sometimes they are big, sometimes they are small, and sometimes they are almost imperceptible. The water’s waves are churned up by the winds, which come and go and vary in direction and intensity, just as do the winds of stress and change in our lives, which stir up the waves in our minds.”
― Jon Kabat-Zinn, Wherever You Go, There You Are: Mindfulness Meditation in Everyday Life

“She stared at me, like day stares at an hourglass and night, the sand trickling through time; the sea disappearing to eyes in the dark. But I hear her waves coming in, as she whispers one last chance goodbye.”
― Anthony Liccione

“Quarks and Waves.
The biggest is equally distant from nothingness as the smallest is. There is equidistance from nothingness to the biggest and the smallest. If we look at an electron, it appears to be a particle and a wave. The notion of a particle as a wave comes from the fact that we cannot measure its position simultaneously when we measure its momentum (velocity). This is Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle. If we look at a particle, it is a particle; when we do not look at it, it is a wave. The sheer identification of the particle at the moment we look at it does not mean that we, or instruments, changed its nature but just identified it as such. It is not identified and appears to be a wave when we do not look at it. On this level, being a particle or a wave almost does not make a difference because this is “near” the “point” or “near” the passage from the Ultimate Immaterial Reality to our sensory reality. These are the passages from one sphere into another. At this level of infinitesimal values that instruments cannot even register, we face a wavelike particle behavior moving at an extreme speed.

This feature (or what appeared to be a feature to our senses) of a particle may result from its almost infinitesimal size rather than its intrinsic value. To be more precise, a particle's inherent value is independent of our ability to perceive, measure, or comprehend it. We may grasp it to some extent or point, but its intrinsic value may still be beyond our ability and the ability of the technology or instruments we rely on.”
― Dejan Stojanovic, ABSOLUTE

“On the level below the strings, the smallest immaterial “particles” (“waves”) reach the "absolute speed." Based on this, the smallest and undetectable “particles” (“waves”) are everywhere, micro and macro, since they are fundamental and indivisible. They must be anywhere simultaneously at an almost absolute speed. Absolute speed is equal to no speed. That is the static state of absolute speed. In this way, the Universe is “static” on its “highest” “point” on a macro level and its lowest on a micro level. From this principle comes the unity of Everything. At the moment of “absolute speed,” energy or matter disappears.”
― Dejan Stojanovic, ABSOLUTE

“Beneath the fury of waves is the still deep, the blessed communion, the peaceful sleep, the quiet beneath the unquiet...”

“The waves and wind still sense your smell. The evening still knows your name. Nothing's lost, for your memories still remain.”
― Jayita Bhattacharjee
