You leave recess and come in for the apocalypse drill. — Adam Reed
I had never done any sort of yoga before, and this epiphany was a little more esoteric. I walked into the yoga room and there was a voice from my soul that said out loud, This is it! I just knew.

I couldn't put my legs up the wall in the most gentle, restorative yoga pose, and yet, I knew. — Brad Willis
A man may see straight and clearly and yet become impatient or doubtful when the market takes its time about doing as he figured it must do.

They beat themselves, because though they have brains they cannot sit tight. — Jesse Lauriston Livermore
Pete and Repeat were sitting on a wall. Pete fell off. Who was left? Repeat. — Bruce Nauman

If Occupy Wall Street was actually a march, and people from all around the country could collect and march toward Washington, D.C., as part of this massive movement of people . . .

There's a conspiracy / to protect the young, so they'll be fearless, / it's why you travel - it's a way of trying / to let go, of lying. You don't sit / in a stiff chair and worry, you keep moving. / Postcards from the Alamo, the Alhambra. / ... / You, fainting at the Buddhist caves. / Climbing with thousands on the Great Wall, / ... / Having the time of your life, blistered and smiling. / The acid of your fear could eat the world. — Gail Mazur
I think films are perishable, because they depend too much on technology, which advances too quickly and the films become old-fashioned, antiques. What I hope for is that technology advances to the point that films in the future will depend on a little pill which you take; then you sit in the dark, and from your eyes you project the film you want to see on a blank wall. — Luis Bunuel
Facebook is like jail, you sit around and waste time, you write on walls and you get poked by people you don't know — Will Ferrell

I don't drive, so one of my assistants drives me to my writing room, and I have a calendar on the wall telling me how much time I have left, and how far behind I am.

Good tunes come when you're not thinking about it. — Hans Zimmer
I look at my yesterdays for months past, and find them as good a lot of yesterdays as anybody might want. I sit there in the firelight and see them all. The hours that made them were good, and so were the moments that made the hours. I have had responsibilities and work, dangers and pleasure, good friends, and a world without walls to live in. — Beryl Markham
For being a bad student I was banished to the 'calaboose' - a bare cell with whitewashed walls and a bench to sit on. I liked it there, because I took along a sketch pad and drew incessantly I could have stayed there forever drawing without stopping — Pablo Picasso
