Empathy is cloaked in our actions - as in, we might be experiencing empathy but not realize it's empathy.
I don't think I have enough of an interest in today's cultural mood to connect with or reject it. I'm compelled by the ideas that arrive when I'm not trying, and I follow them through almost every time. I feel fortunate that these days, there are a lot of them. You could argue that they are informed by everything I'm experiencing culturally around me but I don't, for example, look online for new music or art very often, and I don't think there is much in contemporary culture for me. It's a needle in a haystack kind of thing, and I'd rather spend that time working on a new song.
You can experience consciousness now by experiencing the fact that you exist.
I think that experiencing through art is a wonderful way to expand the horizon and everything around it.
I guess living without love, without experiencing it or being able to give it is pretty strong punishment.

Living is not thinking. Thought is formed and guided by objective reality outside us. Living is the constant adjustment of thought to life and life to thought in such a way that we are always growing, always experiencing new things in the old and old things in the new. Thus life is always new.
The quickest way to experiencing the peace inside, is to learn to recognize when I am not at peace.
The essence of Buddhism is simply that the mind is forever. We are always experiencing different states of mind in one form or another, in one body or another, in one life or another, forever.
I don't believe that France is capable of reform - at least not in normal times. Fortunately, we are experiencing exceptional circumstances at the moment. It is a moment in which everything is possible.
Focus on the moment, not when you are praying with your intellect, but when you are fully experiencing the prayer
The burden of living one’s own life is experiencing sensations that no one else can share.
When I am writing a story it feels as real as the life I am experiencing off the page. It's an emotional illusion, I guess.
I define anxiety as experiencing failure in advance.
Technology has altered the way music sounds, how it’s composed and how we experience it. It has also flooded the world with music. The world is awash with (mostly) recorded sounds. We used to have to pay for music or make it ourselves; playing, hearing and experiencing it was exceptional, a rare and special experience. Now hearing it is ubiquitous, and silence is the rarity that we pay for and savor.
