To spare oneself from grief at all cost can be achieved only at the price of total detachment, which excludes the ability to experience happiness.
~ Erich Fromm

This hit home for me when I ran across it today:
"Consider that, despite endless research in Western psychology demonstrating without question that animals and people respond to love and praise more than to punishment, you persist in criticizing yourself mercilessly in the vague hope that it will somehow make you a better person. This is poison." ~ Jose Stevens
So true, but I am still unsuccessful in stopping this.

"Every monster has a big shadow
That's what makes it a monster.
In fact, when you look the monster in the eye, when you calmly and carefully inspect the actual monster, you discover that he's not so bad after all. It's just the shadow that's scary.
When in doubt, ignore the shadow."
-- Seth Godin |

"A child-like man is not a man whose development has been arrested; on the contrary, he is a man who has given himself a chance of continuing to develop long after most adults have muffled themselves in the cocoon of middle-aged habit and convention."

I know Queequeg isn't around here anymore, but I came into this thread to post this quote if it wasn't already here. I had always seen it attributed to Emiliano Zapata, though. |
