“Pay attention to how we move things”

“No matter how much time has passed, these things still affect us and the world we live in. If you don't pay attention to the past, you'll never understand the future. It's all linked together.”

“The main thing to do is pay attention. Pay close attention to everything, notice what no one else notices. Then you'll know what no one else knows, and that's always useful.”

“From the simplest lyric to the most complex novel and densest drama, literature is asking us to pay attention. Pay attention to the frog. Pay attention to the west wind. Pay attention to the boy on the raft, the lady in the tower, the old man on the train. In sum, pay attention to the world and all that dwells therein and thereby learn at last to pay attention to yourself and all that dwells therein.”

“who pays any attention
to the syntax of things
will never wholly kiss you”

“Pay appropriate attention to what has your attention, so you can pay attention to what really has your attention.”

“The best way to capture moments is to pay attention. This is how we cultivate mindfulness. Mindfulness means being awake. It means knowing what you are doing.”

“Always choose people who know how to pay attention to details, who know how to be grateful for your attention, but above all choose people who know how to value your time and your person.”

“Survival lies in sanity, and sanity lies in paying attention… the capacity for delight is the gift of paying attention.”

“There is ecstasy in paying attention.”
