"Experience is not what happens to you; it’s what you do with what happens to you." ― Aldous Huxley Topic(s): Experience Tags: experience, happens More From Aldous Huxley "The charm of history and its enigmatic lesson consist in the fact that, from age to age, nothing changes and yet everything is completely different." "Your true traveller finds boredom rather agreeable than painful. It is the symbol of his liberty – his excessive freedom. He accepts his boredom, when it comes, not merely philosophically, but almost with pleasure." "The secret of genius is to carry the spirit of the child into old age, which mean never losing your enthusiasm." More In Experience "Literature overtakes history, for literature gives you more than one life. It expands experience and opens new opportunities to readers."― Carlos Fuentes "I’ve had a fair amount of experience with snakes, and I find them to be pretty honest in terms of how you read their body language and emotions. They’ll tell you when they’re grumpy. They’ll tell you when they’re okay."― Dominic Monaghan "There’s probably no experience more alienating than fame, other than a terminal illness, where you actually find yourself in a situation that nobody around you can relate to."― Diablo Cody
