8 QUOTES WITH «CHI»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word chi.

Abbey Lee Kershaw
The chi of a room is important to me. If I walk into a hotel room and it doesn't feel right, I ask to change.
5
Hugh Laurie
I grew up with an impatience with the anti-scientific. So I'm a bit miffed with our current love affair with all things Eastern. If I sneeze on the set, 40 people hand me echinacea. But I'd no sooner take that than eat a pencil. Maybe that's why I took up boxing. It's my response to men in white pajamas feeling each other's chi.
6
Joshua Waitzkin
Initially I was very drawn to the Tao Te Ching, the Taoist philosophy. It was helping me deal with the balance of these external and internal issues with my chess life. Tai chi is the martial embodiment of Taoist philosophy. Initially, I had no intention of competing in the martial arts; it was just the meditation.

Liu Yang
Performing tai chi in space - it is comfortable; we got more outer space chi.
