STILLNESS is our most intense mode of action.
It is in our moments of deep quiet that is born every idea,
emotion and drive which we eventually honor with the name of action.
Our most emotionally active life is lived in our dreams;
our cells renew themselves most industriously in our sleep.
We reach the highest in meditation, the farthest in prayer.
In stillness every human being is capable of greatness;
he is free from the experience of hostility;
he is a poet, and most like an angel.
But stillness requires a profound discipline,
it must be worked for,
and it is therefore all the more to be treasured.
~Leonard Bernstein
