More From John Fowles

At first, when a child meets something that scares him, the fear grows, like a wave. but when he goes into the water and swims - gets used to the water - the wave grows small. if we pull the child away when the wave is high, he never sees that, never learns how to swim and remains afraid. if he gets a chance to feel strong, in control, that's called coping. when he copes, he feels better.
Strong Children Feel Better
When you sit in a café, with a lot of music in the background and a lot of projects in your head, you're not really drinking your coffee or your tea. you're drinking your projects, you're drinking your worries. you are not real, and the coffee is not real either. your coffee can only reveal itself to you as a reality when you go back to your self and produce your true presence, freeing yourself from the past, the future, and from your worries. when you are real, the tea also becomes real and the encounter between you and the tea is real. this is genuine tea drinking.
Real Drinking Coffee
Imagine a limitless expanse of water: above and below, before and behind, right and left, everywhere there is water. in that water is placed a jar filled with water. there is water inside the jar and water outside, but the jar is still there. the 'i' is the jar.
Water Jars Imagine
You cannot have a healthy body without drinking a great deal of water. but remember, you can't just drink a glass of water and tell a glass of water to please go straight to your skin and moisturize your complexion. water has to be there all the time, doing what it does naturally in a healthy body.
Drinking Glasses Remember You
The wave is not the water. the water merely told us about the wave moving by.
Moving Water Wave
If the ocean was pure mind and i was a wave, i would be in terror if itried to distinguish myself fromthe water that produced me.what is a wave without water, and what is a mind without god?
Ocean Water Mind
Similar Quotes
To a frog that's never left his pond, the ocean seems like a gamble. look what he's giving up: security, mastery of his world, recognition! the ocean frog just shakes his head. "i can't explain where i live, but someday i'll take you there."
Inspirational Giving Up Ocean
Blue, green, grey, white, or black; smooth, ruffled, or mountainous; that ocean is not silent.
Ocean Blue White
The surface of the earth is the shore of the cosmic ocean. from it we have learned most of what we know. recently, we have waded a little out to sea, enough to dampen our toes or, at most, wet our ankles. the water seems inviting. the ocean calls.
Ocean Sea Water
As soon as somebody demonstrates the art of flying, settlers from our species of man will not be lacking on the moon and jupiter. who would have believed that a huge ocean could be crossed more peacefully and safely than the the narrow expanse of the adriatic, the baltic sea or the english channel? given ships or sails adapted to the breezes of heaven, there will be those who will not shrink from even that vast expanse.
