In every career, you are balancing or negotiating tricky waters. But, I think that's been something nice that comedy has been able to give me a little bit more. I have the ability to laugh at myself and hopefully not take all of this whole world too seriously.
Anna Faris
Image
Only the flowing water is pure and sweet. Only the spinning top and the moving bicycle do not fall over. Rest is not found in irregular and purposeless motion, nor is it stagnation all real and firm rest is to be sought in harmonious action.
Anna Brackett
Image
A land not mine, still forever memorable, the waters of its ocean chill and fresh. Sand on the bottom whiter than chalk, and the air drunk, like wine, late sun lays bare the rosy limbs of the pinetrees. Sunset in the ethereal waves: I cannot tell if the day is ending, or the world, or if the secret of secrets is inside me again.
Anna Akhmatova
Image
Once an old woman came to Buddha and asked him how to meditate. He told her to remain aware of every movement of her hands as she drew the water from the well, knowing that if she did, she would soon find herself in that state of alert and spacious calm that is meditation.
Sogyal Rinpoche

John Waters is one of the sweetest, dearest, most adorable men I've ever worked with.
Polly Bergen
Image
I receive grace. And through me, grace could flow on. Like a cycle of water in continuous movement, grace is meant to fall, a rain...again, again, again. I could share the grace, multiply the joy, extend the table of the feast, enlarge the paradise of His presence. I am blessed. I can bless.

In the desert, water gives life, while in the ocean an island stands to give anchor. Opposites are desirable and necessary. Once again, you see the theme of taking away a precious element of the world or making it rare and precarious.
Vera Nazarian
Image
Grace is alive, living waters. If I dam up the grace, hold the blessings tight, joy within dies... waters that have no life.
Ann Voskamp
Image
The cure for anything is salt water: sweat, tears or the sea.
Isak Dinesen
Image
Mysticism is not this or that particular cup on the table it is the water poured into all of them.
Vernon Howard
Image
He loved the soothing hour, when the last tints of light die away when the stars, one by one, tremble through æther, and are reflected on the dark mirror of the waters that hour, which, of all others, inspires the mind with pensive tenderness, and often elevates it to sublime contemplation.
Ann Radcliffe

There was no time for kissing but she wanted him to know that in the future there would be. A kiss in so much loneliness was like a hand pulling you up out of the water, scooping you up from a place of drowning and into the reckless abundance of air. A kiss, another kiss.
Ann Patchett
Image
Those who seek peace above all else, they say, will always deceive to keep the water calm.
Veronica Roth
Image
I imagine the wave of water colliding with the rock and spilling over the tile floor, collecting around my shoes. Doing a little at once can fix something, eventually, but I feel like when you believe that something is truly a problem, you throw everything you have at it, because you just can’t help yourself.
Veronica Roth

Water in the boat is the ruin of the boat, but water under the boat is its support.
Rumi
Image
Sometimes we have to soak ourselves in the tears and fears of the past to water our future gardens.
Suzy Kassem
Image
Blood may be thicker than water, but friendship is thicker than both.
Ann Brashares
Image
Her vision of the world under the water represented a beautiful stillness, a version of heaven. It was the lost city of Lena, her alternate universe, the life she yearned for but didn't get to have.
Ann Brashares
Image
The ocean was the best place, of course. That was what she loved most. It was a feeling of freedom like no other, and yet a feeling of communion with all the other places and creatures the water touched.
Ann Brashares
Image
People left a lot of things behind when they went in the water. Their clothes, their stuff, their makeup, their fixed-up hair, their voices, their hearing, their sight—at least as the normally experienced them.
Ann Brashares
Image
Sometimes I think that if it were possible to tell a story often enough to make the hurt ease up, to make the words slide down my arms and away from me like water, I would tell that story a thousand times.
Anita Shreve
Image
God made the water but men made the wine.
Victor Hugo
Image
In winter there is no heat, no light, no noon, evening touches morning, there is fog, and mist, the window is frosted, and you cannot see clearly. The sky is but the mouth of a cave. The whole day is the cave.... Frightful season! Winter changes into stone the water of heaven and the heart of man.
Victor Hugo
Image
My heart is a ladle of sweet water brimming over.
