Okay, take a deep breath, I told myself. Don't go all hormonal. Get the facts straight. Have a mental doughnut.
Too often we... enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.
I spent a great deal of my career willingly ignoring the fact that people are participating in it, because it allows me to function without second-guessing it, without thinking, 'Oh, I wonder what people are gonna think of this,' or, 'I wonder what people aren't gonna think of this.'
That's what the voices in your head are for, to get you through the silent parts.
Every man, wherever he goes, is encompassed by a cloud of comforting convictions, which move with him like flies on a summer day.

Feeling comfortable in my own skin makes me feel confident.
I think I was just really comfortable in my goalie equipment, just being in the net and being by myself for 60 minutes and talking to myself sometimes.
You say that my way of thinking cannot be tolerated? What of it? The man who alters his way of thinking to suit othere is a fool. My way of thinking is the result of my reflections. It is part of my inner being,the way I am made. I do not contradict them, and would not even if I wished to. For my system, which you disapprove of is also my greatest comfort in life, the source of all my happiness -it means more to me than my life itself.
If I do not feel comfortable, I will not look comfortable.
You know golf is very lonely. When I'm in the States, I feel like if I just think about Taiwan, my friends, my fans, I won't feel like I'm alone.
And now it seems she's on my wavelength. That's all I need. My mind isn't much of a comfort to me but at least I thought it was private.
I just like the fact I can make a film which might give comfort to some people who think they are the only crazy person in the world and suddenly they see there are two crazy people in the world.
Right now my main aim is not to get injured any more. I am a little bit afraid of running and sliding because the ankle was so painful. But I am not a person who runs a lot, who spends a lot of energy on the court. If I am mentally OK, if nothing is bothering me and I want to play, then it is fine.
Getting bogged down in old stories stops the flow of learning by censoring our perceptions, making us functionally deaf and blind to new information. Once the replay button gets pushed, we no longer form new ideas or conclusions - the old ones are so cozy.
It's just a continuous process, trying to work through it, trying find that comfort zone and go from there. That's kind of where I'm at. I feel pretty good about where I'm at.
It's a great comfort to some people to groan over their imaginary ills.
Since the choice of what we curl up with is often crucial for our solace and sanity, we need to learn how to nurture the talent of selection. Book browsing is a meditative art...Books are as essential as breathing.
The road to enlightenment is long and difficult, and you should try not to forget snacks and magazines.
Psychologically, it's always more pleasurable to blame others for our problems than it is to acknowledge our own responsibility.
Our minds have the need to know. When we dont know we make assumptions - they make us feel safer than not knowing. And we are pretty much always making assumptions.
The best therapists can do with sadness, anger, and anxiety is to help patients live in the more comfortable part of their set range.
I think everyone struggles to feel comfortable in their skin or has at one time or another.
If thy wealth waste, they wit will give but small warmth.
An illusion which makes me happy is worth a verity which drags me to the ground.
I remember reminding myself that beauty is an opinion, not a fact. And it has always made me feel better.
