quotations about spontaneity
But spontaneous people are gifted with handling the given moment with expertise using whatever resources that are at hand. Spontaneous people rarely say, "I'll take the toolbox just in case," because they don't expect problems to develop.
RUTH MCROBERTS WARD
Self-esteem: Gift from God
If you follow a recipe for life, spontaneity will be cooked.
KHANG KIJARRO NGUYEN
Caribbean College of Consciousness
Wanna be impulsive, reckless, and lose myself in your kiss.
You're giving me a feeling it's a sudden rush.
Acting on the moment, it's spontaneous.
Wo wo oh.
WILSON PHILLIPS
"Impulsive"
All the aches, pains and the joys
Of growing up beside you
Dancing a spontaneous
A dance with you
Your spirit lives
As you have spread the seed
Of love
STEREOLAB
"Feel and Triple"
I guess sometimes the greatest memories are made in the most unlikely of places, further proof that spontaneity is more rewarding than a meticulously planned life.
J. A. REDMERSKI
The Edge of Always
And thus spontaneity is neither reified, of course, nor simply regarded as a liminal, evanescent and insubstantial mental feature. Its elusiveness should not be regarded as a failure of method or theory. It is a sign instead of what spontaneity is: an essential and perhaps most important quality of psychic life, sustaining all forms of creativity. In fact, as soon as spontaneity is romanticized, we lose it. The development of spontaneity, paradoxically, leaves scars.

This is what Spontaneity is all about: creative response.

But spontaneity is not by any means a blind, disorderly urge, a mere power of caprice. A philosophy restricted to the alternatives of conventional language has no way of conceiving an intelligence which does not work according to plan, according to a one-at-a-time order of thought. Yet the concrete evidence of such an intelligence is right to hand in our own thoughtlessly ordered bodies. For the Tao does not 'know' how it produces the universe just as we do not 'know' how we construct our brains.
ALAN W. WATTS
The Way of Zen
Staring at her straight in the eyes
So profoundly, almost able to see, understand something invisible,
Intangible pure and innocent or simply spontaneous.
Seeking the touch the breath and the warmth of that body with eyes half
Closed, she listened to the beat of her heart and, she smiled.
ROBERT MILES
"A New Flower"
You organize your life so perfectly
You even take the time to plan your spontaneity
You gotta place for everything except your heart
