F. M. Alexander: “People do not decide their futures; they decide their habits, and their habits decide their futures.”
Excerpt from Rainer Maria Rilke’s Letters to a Young Poet: “For all living things in nature must unfold in their particular way and become themselves at any cost and despite all opposition.” Translated by Joanna Macy and Anita Barrows in A Year With Rilke.
From 1973 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine laureate Nikolaas Tinbergen regarding the development of the Alexander Technique: “…one of the true epics of medical research and practice…based on exceptionally sophisticated observation…the importance of the treatment has been stressed by many prominent people, for instance John Dewey, Aldous Huxley, and—perhaps more convincing to us—by scientists of renown, such as Coghill, Raymond Dart, and the great neurophysiologist Sherrington.” Tinbergen, N. (1973). Ethology and stress diseases. In J. Lindsten (Ed.), Nobel Lectures, Physiology or Medicine 1971–1980 (pp. 113–130). Singapore: World Scientific Publishing Co.
