Stasis Quotes

Dave Eggers quote: "Stasis is itself criminal for those with the means to move."
Stasis is itself criminal for those with the means to move. Dave Eggers
Boredom is an instrument of social control. Power is the power to impose boredom, to command stasis, to combine this stasis with anguish. The real tedium, deep tedium, is seasoned with terror and with death. Saul Bellow
Children always wanted their parents in situ, in stasis. The faster they changed, the more their parents should remain the same. Marge Piercy
Dean Koontz quote: "That's life. Something always happens. We don't live in..."
That's life. Something always happens. We don't live in stasis, frozen in amber. Dean Koontz
William S. Burroughs quote: "Fear of death is form of stasis horrors. The dead weight of..."
Fear of death is form of stasis horrors. The dead weight of time. William S. Burroughs
hideous psychic fallout they'd all endured both in active marijuana-dependency and then in marijuana-detox: the social isolation, anxious lassitude, and the hyperself-consciousness that then reinforced the withdrawal and anxiety - the increasing emotional abstraction, poverty of affect, and then total emotional catalepsy - the obsessive analyzing, finally the paralytic stasis that results from obsessive analysis of all possible implications of both getting up from the couch and not getting...

His theatre was the clouds, where no spectacle repeated itself. On land he was a foreigner. Land for him was stasis, and it pulled him into immobility, which was his image of death? Anais Nin
All of those things - rock and men and river - resisted change, resisted the coming as they did the going. Hood warmed and rose slowly, breaking open the plain, and cooled slowly over the plain it buried. The nature of things is resistance to change, while the nature of process is resistance to stasis, yet things and process are one, and the line from inorganic to organic and back is uninterrupted and unbroken. William Least Heat-Moon
Every ending is arbitrary, because the end is where you write The end. A period, a dot of punctuation, a point of stasis. A pinprick in the paper: you could put your eye to it and see through, to the other side, to the beginning of something else. Or, as Tony says to her students, Time is not a solid, like wood, but a fluid, like water or the wind. It doesn't come neatly cut into even-sized length, into decades and centuries. Nevertheless, for our purposes we have to pretend it does. The end... Margaret Atwood
One of the aspects of form that I have been very interested in is stasis - the concept of form which is not so directional in time, not so much climactic form, but rather form which allows time, to stand still. La Monte Young
Bono quote: "It's stasis that kills you off in the end, not ambition."
It's stasis that kills you off in the end, not ambition. Bono
I know what it's like to be in one place and dream of another. I also know what it's like to feel that nostalgia is a fairly useless thing because it is stasis. Mira Nair
