- “Sometimes we feel that one individual’s action is very insignificant. Then we think, of course, that effects should come from channeling or from a unifying movement. But the movement of the society, community or group of people means joining individuals. Society means a collection of individuals, so that initiative must come from individuals. Unless each individual develops a sense of responsibility, the whole community cannot move. So therefore, it is very essential that we should not feel that individual effort is meaningless- you should not feel that way. We should make an effort.” ~ Dalai Lama

From the Anio, drawn up the hillside at incalculable cost and labour, a thousand rills gush downward, terrace by terrace, channeling the stone rails of the balusters, leaping from step to step, dripping into mossy conches, flashing in spray from the horns of sea-gods and the jaws of mythical monsters, or forcing themselves in irrepressible overflow down the ivy-matted banks.” ~ Edith Wharton

Don’t strain yourself. Wouldn’t want to hurt your head.” I waved a flyer in his face, channeling my inner mean girl. “See these? I’m hanging them…on a…wall!” I spoke the last part slowly as if addressing a dim-witted child. Which wasn’t far off the mark, now that I thought about it. “With tape,” I added, waving at the dispenser. “You know-sticky, sticky!” ~ Mari Mancusi
- “There is absolutely no reason to suspect that prohibiting same-sex couples from marrying and refusing to recognize their out-of-state marriages will cause same-sex couples to raise fewer children or impel married opposite-sex couples to raise more children. The Virginia Marriage Laws, therefore, do not further Virginia’s interest in channeling children into optimal families, even if we were to accept the dubious proposition that same-sex couples are less capable parents.” ~ Henry Franklin Floyd

The secret is to make your mind work for you not against you. This means constantly being positive.

You must see yourself always growing and improving.” ~ Arnold Schwarzenegger

He can’t see right, and he’s haunted by nearly everything. He’s trying to open up or shut himself down or at least get a hold of himself. He’s trying to make do with what he’s done, while he reminds us that we’re all, one way or another, in that position.” ~ Jim Shepard

- “In 1965, when great young white artists in the English-speaking world were successfully re-channeling hillbilly and black music – you know Bob Dylan, Ray Davies, Pete Townsend, Keith Richards – they didn’t get any money at first. They were all broke.” ~ Iggy Pop
-

- “The correct method for tracking the stock market is to use semilogarithmic chart paper, since the market’s history is sensibly related only on a percentage basis.

Channeling techniques work acceptably well on arithmetic scale with shorter-term moves.” ~ Robert Prechter

If they said it was sheer delusion, they know where the other four fingers would wind up pointing!” ~ Robert M. Price
-

- “When the back-to-the-cities trend started taking root, albeit very unevenly, cities were so glad to finally land deals that they routinely overpaid, not having a solid grasp of the demographic and market forces they should have been channeling instead of subsidizing. It’s especially true for retail and entertainment projects, which generate very poor-quality jobs. I have yet to find a city that has figured out how to ‘take the foot off the pedal’ and stop over-subsidizing, even when gentrification becomes a problem.” ~ Sandy Smith

- “Most songwriting like poetry takes a careful selection of words. Sometimes you’re just channeling something and a selection of words come out that you wouldn’t normally say, but you come up with an assortment of words that are really special. It just makes sense even if it’s normally how you wouldn’t express yourself.” ~ Vance Joy
