  1. What is profound? The ocean is profound. Waves just crash upon the beach, and those waves were once delicate little ripples caused by rain drops or other such trivialities on the ocean. The waves are big. They wash up on the shore and it’s quite exciting. The ocean is a profound beauty, and most of the earth is covered by it. True story. YYeah.

  2. beyond full explanation or one’s comprehension; forward in scope or direction

  3. Profound, a rather extraordinarily exquisite existence. Your profound. You confuse me and when anything comes out of your mouth I laugh. Laughing.

  4. There was a moment in time, when time didn’t matter and when the sea of my eyes split apart, I noticed, just noticed the dewy particles of sand on the seashore of my best wishes.

  5. Profound.
    I think it can be difficult to be profound.
    I know some people that are very profound; and I must say; I have a great deal of jealousy for them.
    Perhaps there is a misconception of profound. Perhaps those that are profound, are really just saying or doing all the profound things, to become like the profound people THEY are jealous of.
    It’s a big circle.
    A big.
    Profound.
    Circle.

  6. You know when you say something profound. It just falls out of your mouth with such unexpected eloquence.

  7. knowledge is power but not without risk of revealing too much don’t come off conceited relish in delight that you are the center of attention

  8. She was a profound thinker. Nothing was every easy. She never too the simple path in life. She would think and think before acting. Nothing was done on impulse. Everything required the deepest and most profound insight from others for her to consider it. But one day, she realized that life is sometimes about the surface level of things and that she couldn’t be afraid anymore.

  10. I had a profound moment a day and half ago. I realized my true dream may not be to just finish college. Quite frankly, I just wanted to finish high school. I never had dreams about life after it. But now, almost three years in, I’m feeling some sort guilt.

  11. It is amazing to me, how such a beautiful child with such a pure soul, can be so hurt and helpless in this incredible world. There are flowers he loves to smell, colors he loves to name, people he loves to greet and smile at, with those missing front teeth. He is a light in the world, when it can be so cruel and dark, and whoever comes across this small boy, this miniature Buddah, is instantly affected with a striking love for this round-eyed stranger. I feel for him as I would my own future child. I fear for him, I pain for his pain, I long to bury him into my protection, to encase him in my ease, and allow him to be completely absorbed into my love like falling asleep. I want to care for him and save him from the world. This, is profound love.

  12. Working with the elderly has had a profound affect on my life. They have taught me to be giving, compassionate, caring, understanding, selfless, loving, thankful, and to make each moment count.

  13. raw
    exposed
    explosive and rude
    fucking shameless
    and interminably relentless

  14. Profound love. Think so strongly, watch so closely, breathe so deeply. I want to define something so strong. The thing so strong that makes me so weak. Dance so quickly, love so badly, twirl so much, and you;ve found it all.

  15. There is profound depth in love. No matter how deep you get you will never reach the bottom.

  16. The most profound thing in life is to determine your purpose. I feel so blessed to spend my life discovering the profundities in my life and helping others determine theirs. Life is as beautiful and magnificent as we make it. I get to spend mine finding the new lessons in every day. Profound.

  17. Some life altering statement or experience that affects ones life.
    To be profound is to be so deeply meaningful that everything else stops. I find it is the reaction to the thought that is profound, rather than the thought itself.

  18. There is nothing
    more profound
    than true love
    expressed in full.

    Not love as one feels
    in a passion,
    or in a flutter
    of the chest–

    these are
    but flickers
    in the dark.

    True love does not
    seek to conquer
    or consume
    our mortal souls.

    It lifts us up;
    and quells
    our sorrows;

    It comforts us
    in dimmest
    lights.

    It does not replace
    what we once were–
    but enriches who we are
    and resonates

    throughout

    our very being.

  19. Dropped to the bottom of the sky,
    Misconstrued till i have no clue what the true being is.
    I’m without a sound as i leave here even more wounded.
    Ever more profound.

  20. Many things in life could be thought of as profound. People can impact one another in very lasting ways. Perhaps one of the most profound things on the planet is the concept of interpersonal relationships.

    Rhiannon Hansing
  21. Profound is deep, literally. Profonde means deep in French. But in French, you can have un lac profond, in English, you can’t have a profound lake. So not so literally. But the weird thing is, in French, you don’t say shallow, you say peu profond.

  22. I don’t really know what this word means. It’s Pro and Found put together. Could it be about someone who’s pro at finding things? Could it mean the opposite? I could be completely wrong about this word. I could be completely off about “profound.” It’s not my fault I don’t know it.

  23. A profound feeling swept over me. My head jerked up and my eyes were glued to the stage. It was more beautiful than anything I had ever seen before. The pink sakura trees looked so real. The actors costumes were amazing. I felt so inspired…. and hungry.

  24. what he fought to find was taking over his mind,
    but all he could give was every year he had live.

  25. There is something to be said about silence, the
    dust motes, light
    on her pale sill, exactly

    Twelve minutes of contemplation, where
    absolutely nothing
    was done.

  27. Wisdom never came so deep,
    Rather found in shallowness,
    Comparing to nothings,
    And I wonder who they are,
    Taking it to be something much more magnificent,
    When in actually, it is so weak.

  28. This is hard. I think that is profound that a

  29. Life. I believe that life itself is the most profound, unfathomable thing that we will ever experience. And because of this, everything we do in life should be the same; we should love profoundly, grieve profoundly, rejoice profoundly…live absolutely profoundly so that not a single second is shallow; nothing is lost.

  30. to think is a profound thing, i’m not sure how we start thinking, maybe its boredum or just the lack of thinking that makes our minds fly off into profound thinking. but whatever causes it certainly causes the most elaborate thinking.

  31. i am profound. i amaze myself, i amaze everyone. i need not say any more.

  32. In the fog of all that smoke, it sounded like the most profound thing he’d ever heard.

  33. …silence
    …fear
    …truth
    …belief
    …pain
    …failure
    …love

  34. Profound
    I walked into the room
    Thrown into yet another situation that was new to me.
    Not knowing what to expect,
    I glanced around the room
    Looking for a familiar face.
    As my eyes dart around the room
    They land on you,
    And your eyes land on me
    A small smile slides across my face
    As I see your eyes light up.

  35. Today, the little boy I shadow told me he was sad.

    He is a four year old child with autism. He looked at me, with teary eyes and a very runny nose and said “I’m sad.”

    The most profound sentance of the day.

  36. First of all, it looks spelled wrong to me. You know like words do sometimes especially after you’ve been looking at them for a while. But this one looked wrong as soon as I saw it. Sometimes things look wrong but they’re not.
    Is that profound?

    (Still looks wrong.)

  37. Figure something out by means of another

  39. “I don’t have anything to say,” he mumbled, stuffing his hands in his pockets.

    She smiled. “I’m sure you have something to do.”

    “I don’t.”

    She pushed him into the sight of twenty kindergarten-age children. He stared at them. Then he said, “One day you will learn that you can spell words you’ve never heard of before.”

  40. i think something that evokes emotion or thought, not just a thought, but deep thought, that forces a person to devote energy and patience and allow emotion to weave into the stream of conscienceness is when something as reached the realm of profound
