My brain and body and nervous system, they see a plane ride, a long plane trip, as an opportunity to sleep with nothing coming in, nothing to do. I just go offline the minute I’m on the plane.

We’re introducing separate rooms with double beds in all of our planes so people can actually go with their partner and have a proper night’s sleep.

As a body everyone is single, as a soul never.

Death means change our clothes. Clothes become old, then time to come change. So this body become old, and then time come, take young body.

Hmm, on my downtime, I take a shower or listen to the Bible on tape.

It is a common experience that a problem difficult at night is resolved in the morning after the committee of sleep has worked on it.

Everything we touch in our daily lives, including our body, is a miracle. By putting the kingdom of god in the right place, it shows us it is possible to live happily right here, right now.

I am particularly drawn to the form of meditation called Japa. I know it works.

There is nothing that wastes the body like worry, and one who has any faith in God should be ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever.

If I relaxed, if I took my foot off the gas, I would probably die.

Sleep is the best meditation.

The human brain is an incredible pattern-matching machine.

Meditation is a great way to keep my body well-centered while juggling shooting schedules and recording sessions.

Philosophically considered, the universe is composed of Nature and the Soul. Strictly speaking, therefore, all that is separate from us, all which Philosophy distinguishes as the ‚Not Me,‘ that is, both nature and art, all other men and my own body, must be ranked under this name, ‚Nature.‘

There was never a child so lovely but his mother was glad to get him to sleep.

Hallow the body as a temple to comeliness and sanctify the heart as a sacrifice to love; love recompenses the adorers.

Let each know that for each the body, the mind and the soul have been freed to fulfill themselves.

The brain may be regarded as a kind of parasite of the organism, a pensioner, as it were, who dwells with the body.

Childhood is the sleep of reason.

Tears come from the heart and not from the brain.

A feeble body weakens the mind.

Right now I’m just delighted to be alive and to have had a nice long bath.

I love the sea.

Meditation helps me to calm down.

I really wanted to retire and rest and spend more time with my children, my grandchildren and of course with my wife.

Have fun in your command. Don’t always run at a breakneck pace. Take leave when you’ve earned it, spend time with your families.

The brain is a wonderful organ; it starts working the moment you get up in the morning and does not stop until you get into the office.

I look upon death to be as necessary to our constitution as sleep. We shall rise refreshed in the morning.

There is no physical law precluding particles from being organised in ways that perform even more advanced computations than the arrangements of particles in human brains.

To have faith is to trust yourself to the water. When you swim you don’t grab hold of the water, because if you do you will sink and drown. Instead you relax, and float.

I firmly believe that sleep and recovery are critical aspects of an effective and holistic training program.

Every man who possibly can should force himself to a holiday of a full month in a year, whether he feels like taking it or not.

The gigantic tension before the shooting of an arrow, and the total relaxation seconds later, is my way of connecting to the universe.

I like to let things breathe.

The brain is wider than the sky.

Fatigue is the best pillow.

I love to put on lotion. Sometimes I’ll watch TV and go into a lotion trance for an hour. I try to find brands that don’t taste bad in case anyone wants to taste me.

As long as your body is healthy and under control and death is distant, try to save your soul; when death is immanent what can you do?

I am alone a lot, which is good. I need that time to just be alone after a long day, just decompress. So, I go to either my house or the hotel, or my apartment, or whatever – wherever I am, I go home and I watch TV and I sit there, with my cat, and I just watch TV or go online, check my emails.

There’s no substitute for the practice of meditation.

It’s very important that we re-learn the art of resting and relaxing. Not only does it help prevent the onset of many illnesses that develop through chronic tension and worrying; it allows us to clear our minds, focus, and find creative solutions to problems.

I’m definitely looking forward to the day when I stop working – if I ever stop working. I like the idea of keeling over in my tomato vines in Sardinia or northern Italy.

The problem with meditating is I generally go to sleep, and that’s because I’m doing it wrong.

With all the travel we’re doing to cold-weather cities, your mind definitely starts to wander. It gets you away from the game. Even when you arrive in a city, you’re tempted to just sit in your hotel and rest. Sometimes it’s nice to just get out and walk around, to see what’s there.

Nobody expects to trust his body overmuch after the age of fifty.

I want to be relaxed in my personal life. I really don’t like to be hassled.

I think the brain is essentially a computer and consciousness is like a computer program. It will cease to run when the computer is turned off. Theoretically, it could be re-created on a neural network, but that would be very difficult, as it would require all one’s memories.

Music keeps the heart porous in many ways.

The eyes like sentinel occupy the highest place in the body.

Every man has a right to a Saturday night bath.

What makes me happy is just curling up in with my mom in her bed and watching a marathon of ‚CSI‘ and ‚Grey’s Anatomy‘ episodes with pints of ice cream.

Running started as a way of relaxing. It’s the only time I have to myself. No phones or e-mails or faxes.

Throw off your worries when you throw off your clothes at night.

I’ve had quite a lot of luck with dreams. I’ve often awoken in the night with a phrase or even a whole song in my head.

I sell escapism.

I sleep people. I put people unconscious. I’m stating facts.

Acting is just a process of relaxation, actually. Knowing the text so well and trusting that the instinct and the subconscious mind, whatever you want to call it, is going to take over.

Living indoors without fresh air quickly poisons the blood and makes people feel tired and seedy when they don’t know why. For myself, I sleep out of doors in winter as well as summer. I only feel tired or seedy when I have been indoors a lot. I only catch cold when I sleep in a room.

It’s an offseason. These days are valuable for everybody.

No one ever died from sleeping in an unmade bed. I have known mothers who remake the bed after their children do it because there is wrinkle in the spread or the blanket is on crooked. This is sick.

Sleep, that deplorable curtailment of the joy of life.
