George Gurdjieff Quotes

Life is change.

Everything is in a state of flux, including the status quo.

There is nothing so stable as change.

Statistics vary, but in less than seven years there won't be a single cell left in any of our bodies that's the same as it is today. This means that any human being who 'wants' to change is like a mountain river wanting to reach the valley floor. It's a done deal; that's what mountain rivers do, and 'changing' should be our first nature.

Observe constantly that all things take place by change, and accustom thyself to consider that the nature of the Universe loves nothing so much as to change the things which are, and to make new things like them.

A human being is a being who is constantly 'under construction,' but also, in a parallel fashion, always in a state of constant destruction.

Because things are the way they are, things will not stay the way they are.

Everyone changes all the time.

Changing, everything is changing.

It's very easy to think that the way things are is the way things will stay, and life just isn't like that.

There is nothing constant in the universe. All ebb and flow, and every shape that's born, bears in its womb the seeds of change.

No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.

Change alone is eternal, perpetual, immortal.

History always happens to us and nothing ever stays the same.

Man's yesterday may never be like his morrow; Nought may endure but Mutability.

Change alone is unchanging.

Nothing changes like changes, because nothing changes but the changes.

Change in all things is sweet.

If anything is certain, it is that change is certain. The world we are planning for today will not exist in this form tomorrow.

Everything changes.

All things change.

All Things Change (Omnium Rerum Vicissitudo)

I'm constantly surprised when people say, 'But you haven't changed!' It's like saying, 'You've got a wheel. Now why don't you make it a square?'

With time, everything changes, and there is nothing wrong in that.

The world is not a static place. People change, evolve.
