I think that, at least in my experience, it is difficult when there is unfinished work. That makes it difficult to think of dying when what you have to do is not quite done. Of course it's never quite done.
Laura Huxley
Healthy attention is to improve what can be improved and to accept what we cannot improve.
Laura Huxley
Morbid attention is when we focus only on the shortcomings that come with aging, which are inevitable, and think that everything that is wrong is a result of aging.
Laura Huxley
Beauty, well, it's one of the greatest, greatest gifts. I feel sorry sometimes because people are so worried and so involved in something that they don't have even five minutes to look at something beautiful.
Laura Huxley

But we cannot resist this sophistication.

Laura Huxley
Toddlers are so powerful and so egocentric and teenagers are also so powerful, so egocentric.
Laura Huxley
Power is just so much part of the human being because power is survival. But I wonder if that is the best way to survive, by killing someone else.
Laura Huxley
There is danger in everything that we do.
Laura Huxley
Anybody can make a baby without any checking, without thinking. This type of parenting can be tragic because one of the greatest actions a human being can do is to create another life.
Laura Huxley
Be a little kinder to each other.
Laura Huxley
I've done a little yoga, not as a professional, and every time I have a good teacher I see the immense possibilities and subtleties in this discipline. It's a little bit like music.
Laura Huxley
Love your heart. It really is to love yourself to begin with and help everybody else in doing the same. But the heart being the center.
Laura Huxley
What I say is focus your mind and respect your body. But mostly love your heart. I think that is where to begin, from there and then it goes out.
Laura Huxley
The art of living is simply the art of using energy in an intelligent and creative way.
