| 689805a | What's most revolting is that one is really sad! No, it's better at home. Here at least one blames others for everything and excuses oneself. | home svidrigailov | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | |

| 2d6b4c1 | One day is enough for a man to know all happiness. My dear ones, why do we quarrel, try to outshine each other and keep grudges against each other? Let's go straight into the garden, walk and play there, love, appreciate each other and glorify life. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 0539147 | What is the use of Christ's words, unless we set an example? | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| e07a4fd | Dear Nastenka, I know I describe splendidly, but, excuse me, I don't know how else to do it. At this moment, dear Nastenka, at this moment I am like the spirit of King Solomon when, after lying a thousand years under seven seals in his urn, those seven seals were at last taken off. At this moment, Nastenka, when we have met at last after such a long separation - for I have known you for ages, Nastenka, because I have been looking for some o.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||

| 32201a1 | Nastasha Filippovna,' said Myshkin softly and as it were with compassion, 'I told you just now that I would take your consent as an honor, and that you are doing me an honor, not I you. You smiled at those words, and I heard people laughing about us. I may have expressed myself very absurdly and have been absurd myself, but I thought all the time that I... understood the meaning of honor, and I am sure I spoke the truth. You wanted to ruin .. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||

| 3f1fddb | I heard exactly the same thing, a long time ago to be sure, from a doctor," the elder remarked. "He was then an old man, and unquestionably intelligent. He spoke just as frankly as you, humorously, but with a sorrowful humor. 'I love mankind,' he said, 'but I am amazed at myself: the more I love mankind in general, the less I love people in particular, that is, individually, as separate persons. In my dreams,' he said, 'I often went so far .. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||

| 6d0706c | It ended by my almost believing (perhaps actually believing) that this was perhaps my normal condition. But at first, in the beginning, what agonies I endured in that struggle! I did not believe it was the same with other people, and all my life I hid this fact about myself as a secret. I was ashamed (even now, perhaps, I am ashamed): I got to the point of feeling a sort of secret abnormal, despicable enjoyment in returning home to my corne.. | agony depression despair fatalism hopelessness inevitabilities shame struggle | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | |

| 1479d40 | I inquired what wickedness is, and I didn't find a substance, but a perversity of will twisted away from the highest substance - You oh God - towards inferior things, rejecting its own inner life and swelling with external matter. | sin wickedness | St. Augustine of Hippo | |
| d73b131 | Furthermore, what profit was it to me that I, rascally slave of selfish ambitions that I was, read and understood by myself as many books as I could get concerning the so-called liberal arts?...I had turned my back to the light and my face to the things it illuminated, and so no light played upon my own face, or on the eyes that perceived them. | Augustine of Hippo | ||

| 714e1c5 | He was beautiful when he sat alone, he was like me, he had wide lapels, he was holding the mug in the hardest possible way so that his fingers were all twisted but still long and beautiful, he didn't like to sit alone all the time, but this time, I swear, he didn't care on way or the other. I'll tell you why I like to sit alone, because I'm a sadist, that's why we like to sit alone, because we're the sadists who like to sit alone. He sat al.. | Leonard Cohen | ||
| e105f41 | out-of-control emotions can make smart people stupid. | Daniel Goleman | ||
| 0815927 | People with well-developed emotional skills are also more likely to be content and effective in their lives, mastering the habits of mind that foster their own productivity; people who cannot marshal some control over their emotional life fight inner battles that sabotage their ability for focused work and clear thought. | Daniel Goleman | ||
| 76eadc4 | In the original form of the word, to worry someone else was to harass, strangle, or choke them. Likewise, to worry oneself is a form of self-harassment. To give it less of a role in our lives, we must understand what it really it is. Worry is the fear we manufacture--it is not authentic. If you choose to worry about something, have at it, but do so knowing it's a choice. Most often, we worry because it provides some secondary reward. There .. | Gavin de Becker | ||
| 8276c68 | From the vantage point of the brain, doing well in school and at work involves one and the same state, the brain's sweet spot for performance. The biology of anxiety casts us out of that zone for excellence. "Banish fear" was a slogan of the late quality-control guru W. Edwards Deming. He saw that fear froze a workplace: workers were reluctant to speak up, to share new ideas, or to coordinate well, let alone to improve the quality of their .. | Daniel Goleman | ||
| 00acdda | Helping people better manage their upsetting feelings--anger, anxiety, depression, pessimism, and loneliness--is a form of disease prevention. Since the data show that the toxicity of these emotions, when chronic, is on a par with smoking cigarettes, helping people handle them better could potentially have a medical payoff as great as getting heavy smokers to quit. | Daniel Goleman | ||
| fc1e6f1 | Fear, in evolution, has a special prominence: perhaps more than any other emotion it is crucial for survival. | Daniel Goleman | ||
| 714a1f5 | To an even moderately sophisticated and well-read person it should come as no surprise that any religion at all has its hidden as well as its obvious beauties and is capable of profound and impressive interpretations. What is deeply objectionable about most of these interpretations is that they allow the believer to say | religion theology | Walter Kaufmann | |
| 782121b | In all honesty, I'd enjoyed the horse ride more than the man ride. At least the horse had been a stallion. Looking back, my lab TA was more like a Shetland pony--hairy and small. | Penny Reid | ||
| 259d821 | Nico flinched and pain flickered within his green eyes. He struck the wall next to my head, causing me to jump. "I don't want to be fair! I'm not interested in being nice! You're right. I'm playing games with you and I'm playing dirty because I want you, I you, to be with you, to hear your voice, your laugh, to hold you, to touch you . . ." | Penny Reid | ||
| 9e6f6c1 | It's nice to hear your voice...?" The statement came out sounding like a question, as though I were playing jeopardy and I'd chosen my category- 'I'll take 'Charming Chit Chat' for $200, Alex' and behind the $200 read: 'This is what you say to the hot guy- you abandoned- when he returns after you inexplicably leave him and his private jet in Las Vegas after having amazing and multiple occurrences of the hot sex." | Penny Reid | ||
| cb4301c | I was planning to sort my comic books based on level of second wave feminist influence." "As opposed to first wave?" "Yes, well, Susan B. Anthony laid the foundation for those who have come after. It's all really interrelated but she didn't have direct influence over late twentieth century comics." | Penny Reid | ||
| 11d4b81 | Even though you don't feel calm doesn't mean you can't be calm. | Penny Reid | ||

| d6d6ca8 | There will be no bananas!" "There will be entire tropical rainforests of bananas! And coconuts!" I gestured to my breasts. "And, hopefully, bananas rubbing against coconuts." | Penny Reid | ||
| 1046618 | worry is an emotional state that I abhor. It tends to be self-absorbed and short-sighted, and holds no purpose other than to waste energy and distract the mind from what actually matters. | Penny Reid | ||
| 9e98c83 | You don't know love?" "No." "But you're so certain that this is it, that what we have--what we're doing--that this is us in love?" "Yes." "Why?" "Because it's what love should be." | Penny Reid |
