Feeling earthquakes was part of growing up, and also preparing for them: doing earthquake drills, or having earthquake supplies. The looming feeling was part of my life. My experience of earthquakes has always been more the fear of them, or the possibility.
— Karen Thompson Walker
I grew up like a neglected weed - ignorant of liberty, having no experience of it.
— Harriet Tubman
I have learned that a bitter experience can make you stronger. I now boastfully say that I have a hide like a rhinoceros... and I'm smiling. It's an interesting thing.
— Mel Gibson
I developed a mechanism so that whatever mistakes I made, I would bounce straight back. Whatever was happening off the pitch, I could put it to one side and maintain my form. Call it mental resilience or a strong mind, but that is what we mean when we talk about experience in a football team.
— Gary Neville
The problem was to sustain at any cost the feeling you had in the theater that you were watching a real person, yes, but an intense condensation of his experience, not simply a realistic series of episodes.
— Arthur Miller
The wisdom of the wise, and the experience of ages, may be preserved by quotation.

— Mitch Kapor
When you're young, you don't have any experience - you're charged up, but you're out of control. And if you're old and you're not charged up, then all you have is memories. But if you're charged and stimulated by what's going on around you, and you also have experience, you know what to appreciate and what to pass by.
— Neil Young
The wrong things are predominantly stressed in the schools - things remote from the student's experience and need.
— Anne Sullivan
It is a very busy mission: every day has some major goals that we have to get through, but my experience before has been that at least in the evening, you kind of take a deep breath and look around where you are and have some downtime.
— Linda M. Godwin
The protests and pain over the deaths of Eric Garner and Michael Brown had me wondering if we can ever experience the world as others do. For no matter how disputed the circumstances of both cases, many people see what happened in black and white.
— Campbell Brown
Extreme programming is an emotional experience.
— Kent Beck
Skydiving is special because it's almost the closest to an out-of-body experience you can have. We live in such a stimulated, connected, busy world - to be up in the air with nothing but yourself and the landscape is incredibly peaceful.
— Georgia King
Experience praises the most happy the one who made the most people happy.
— Karl Marx
I haven't been as wild with my money as somebody like me might have been. I've been very safe, very conservative with investments. I don't blow money. I don't have a ton of houses. I know things can go away. I've already had that experience.
— Jim Carrey
In a multicultural, diverse society there are countless ways in which people negotiate the everyday lived experience and reality of diversity.
— Randa Abdel-Fattah
Barcelona is one of the best cities in the world. I love it there. I love Big Sur. It's stunning and you get a therapeutic experience there. The drive up the coast is one of the most beautiful I've ever done. Also, Hong Kong. I could easily live there!
— Meghan Markle
With tennis, you can go pick up a racket, take a lesson, and understand how much talent and skill it takes to be as good as the top pros. Same with golf: pick up a club. But not many can go out and get in a race car and experience a drive at over 200 miles an hour.
— Mario Andretti
Any writer who gives a reader a pleasurable experience is doing every other writer a favor because it will make the reader want to read other books. I am all for it.

— Oscar Levant
I have found life an enjoyable, enchanting, active, and sometime terrifying experience, and I've enjoyed it completely. A lament in one ear, maybe, but always a song in the other.
— Sean O'Casey
Anybody who has gone through a life-changing experience will tell you there is a different understanding of what is real and what is important, and when you are going through different moments, you can reflect and go, 'I have been through worse.'
— Delta Goodrem
Playing a bad guy is always a freeing experience, because you don't have the same envelope of restrictions as you have playing a good guy. Good guys restrain themselves; they kind of have their moral fiber cut out for them in varying degrees.
— John Travolta
To be happy when you are travelling, you need to be happy inside before you leave. A positive frame of mind will definitely enhance your travelling experience. If I'm not in a positive frame of mind then the whole thing definitely becomes more of a challenge for me.
— Andrea Bocelli
I've had a wonderful experience here at Penn State.
— Joe Paterno
I played for Santos at 16, and we had an excellent team, so it helped a lot. And then I played for Brazil at the Maracana against Argentina. So I get more experience. This was one year before the World Cup, and it made a lot of difference.
— Pele
A good memory is surely a compost heap that converts experience to wisdom, creativity, or dottiness; not that these things are of much earthly value, but at least they may keep you amused when the world is keeping you locked away or shutting you out.
— Michael Leunig
Racism is a physical experience.
— Ta-Nehisi Coates
Proper training and federal supervision in state-federal partnerships are essential to both assuring constitutional rights and enforcing our immigration laws. Our Founding Fathers' concept of federalism does not prohibit such cooperation, and we have learned from experience that joint efforts work best.
— Asa Hutchinson
Donald Trump is a phenomenon that foreign countries haven't seen. So it is a shocking experience to them that he came in to office.
— Henry Kissinger

— Richard Russo
Every experience, good or bad, is a priceless collector's item.
— Isaac Marion
If you're lucky enough to experience love, what you find is that it can sustain you through the most difficult times.
— Denise Di Novi
I just feel like if I start opening the door to talking about my university experience, then people just kind of... own everything. There was a lot of stuff a couple of years ago saying that I was bullied at Brown and awful things like that, none of which were true.
— Emma Watson
I try to make the readers feel they've lived the events of the book. Just as you grieve if a friend is killed, you should grieve if a fictional character is killed. You should care. If somebody dies and you just go get more popcorn, it's a superficial experience isn't it?
— George R. R. Martin
A woman experiencing an unplanned pregnancy also deserves to experience unplanned joy.
— Patricia Heaton
I feel that when I began writing, I had a need to know more about the play before I got into it. I think that's the way I was thinking. But my actual experience is that the best way to find out what the structure is, is by writing the play out laterally. You just have got to be brave enough to start without knowing where you are going.
— Tom Stoppard
I've been singing about love a long time now, because my kind of love carries a different flavor. My lyrics are not so outrageous as some. You have to think about a lot of different things. You get more mature with what you do - more experience, more capable, you know, the older you get.
— Burning Spear
Such is my experience - not that I ever mourned the loss of a child, but that I consider myself as lost!
— Deborah Sampson
The city - as the theater of experience, the refuge, the hiding place - has, in turn, been replaced by an abstraction, the fast lane. In the fast lane, the passive observer reduces everything - streets, people, rock lyrics, headlines - to landscape. Every night holds magical promises of renewal. But burnout is inevitable, like some law of physics.
— Darryl Pinckney
Another way of judging the value of a prophet's religious experience, therefore, would be to examine the type of manhood that he has created, and the cultural world that has sprung out of the spirit of his message.
— Muhammad Iqbal
The new spirituality is that it will produce an experience in human encounters in which we become a living demonstration of the basic spiritual teaching 'We are all one.'
— Neale Donald Walsch
It was one of the most exciting, perfect evenings of my life, my solo debut at Carnegie Hall. And knowing we were all there to raise money for Gay Men's Health Crisis made the evening an extraordinary experience.
— Bernadette Peters
We were a very small circle of writers. Everybody brought to the table their own life experience.
— Howie Mandel
Whatever you dwell on in the conscious grows in your experience.
— Brian Tracy
No one intuitively understands quantum mechanics because all of our experience involves a world of classical phenomena where, for example, a baseball thrown from pitcher to catcher seems to take just one path, the one described by Newton's laws of motion. Yet at a microscopic level, the universe behaves quite differently.
— Lawrence M. Krauss
Depression, if it's an unconsciously elected experience, is a luxury.
— Jesse Eisenberg
As I get older, I want to draw on my experience to make roles better. I see that in the older women who inspire me - their experience makes them better.
— Anne-Marie Duff
In a person who is open to experience each stimulus is freely relayed through the nervous system, without being distorted by any process of defensiveness.
— Carl Rogers
The American experience influenced my understanding of individuality, basic human rights, freedom of expression and the rights and responsibilities of citizens.
— Ai Weiwei
Each solstice is a domain of experience unto itself. At the Summer Solstice, all is green and growing, potential coming into being, the miracle of manifestation painted large on the canvas of awareness. At the Winter Solstice, the wind is cold, trees are bare and all lies in stillness beneath blankets of snow.
— Gary Zukav
Just as there is no substitute for original works of art, there is no substitute for the world of direct sensual experience.
— Paul Mellon

— Benjamin Franklin
All adventure is now reactionary.
— William F. Buckley, Jr.
The trouble with travelling back later on is that you can never repeat the same experience.
— Michael Palin
The French are true romantics. They feel the only difference between a man of forty and one of seventy is thirty years of experience.
— Maurice Chevalier
Experience teaches you that the man who looks you straight in the eye, particularly if he adds a firm handshake, is hiding something.
— Clifton Fadiman
Poetry, I think, intensifies the reader's experience. If it's a humorous facet of the story, poetry makes it more exuberant. If it's a sad facet, poetry can make it more poignant.
— Vikram Seth
Sometimes, when I hear people without experience of addiction blame addicts for their behaviour, I feel like saying to them: 'You simply don't understand - how can a child be held responsible for doing such a dreadful thing to himself?' But then again, at other times I have to acknowledge: it was done wilfully.
— Will Self
You don't buy experience at the pharmacy. You acquire it through games over time. Every player must go through that, but when the federation hired me, they told me they wanted new players and young players who will prepare for the future.
— Agustin Castillo
Getting on stage and performing and standing under lights is such an unsettling experience - in a good and bad way - but it's the only place I can go to feel comfortable.
— Matt Berninger
I knew so many gangsters, and I call on that experience with them for characters.
— Frank Vincent
God cannot be realized through the intellect. Intellect can lead one to a certain extent and no further. It is a matter of faith and experience derived from that faith.
— Mahatma Gandhi
