Brian Degraw quotes

I do yoga, like, 20 minutes a day, but the routine that I practice I initially watched on YouTube, like, two years ago. I'm still doing that same thing. YouTube University, man. It's the best.

Everyone was so anti-wanting to be anything else. I guess a lot of bands say that but I think, for us, that notion - combined with our musical influences - ended up making us uncategorizable.

I was having pretty bad anxiety attacks and stuff, and I think a lot of it had to do with my physical environment. Deep down I've always had a pretty strong connection with nature, but I've suppressed it for so long while living in the city. I think it caught up to me. I started really bugging out and needing wide-open space. So it was that simple. That and social anxiety. I felt like I was existing too much in nightlife.

I feel the change. I feel the relationship with New York changing. It's a personal relationship you have with the city when you move there. I definitely romanticize the early 2000s. As much as I prefer the city then as opposed to now, I'm sure if I were 23 and I moved to the New York of right now, I could have the same exact experience. I don't really hate the cleaning up of New York, even though it's not my preferred version of New York.

There's nothing to win in yoga. You just do what you can do, one day to the next.

Yoga takes what you have and molds and sculpts it, which is a much more natural way to look and feel.

Yoga adds years to your life and life to your years.

Whatever fells your mind is what you are. So, feel loving and peaceful for no reason at all.

Who you truly are is a place of no particular thing, but all things at once.

We may not preach a crucified Saviour without being also crucified men and women. It is not enough to wear an ornamental cross as a pretty decoration. The cross that Paul speaks about was burned into his very flesh, was branded into his being, and only the Holy Spirit can burn the true cross into our innermost life.

God wants us to speak to men so that they will feel it, so that they will never forget it. God means every Christian to be effective, to make a difference in the actual records and results of Christian work. God put each of us here to be a power. There is not one of us but is an essential wheel of the machinery and can accomplish all that God calls us to.

Ambition often puts Men upon doing the meanest offices; so climbing is performed in the same position with creeping.

The soul of the slave, the soul of the "little man," is as dear to me as the soul of the great.

When I was one-and-twenty I heard a wise man say, `Give crowns and pounds and guineas But not your heart away; Give pearls away and rubies But keep your fancy free.' But I was one-and-twenty No use to talk to me. When I was one-and-twenty I heard him say again, `The heart out of the bosom Was never given in vain; 'Tis paid with sighs a plenty And sold for endless rue.' And I am two-and-twenty And oh, 'tis true, 'tis true.
