| 7431f34 | Eve's daughters are as flowers and none can ever say they are through unfolding. And what man can predict the consummate end of such a life when its ultimate center is Sharon's Rose? | Elisabeth Elliot | ||
| 33b72f1 | Expansion presented the United States with a dilemma that has confronted many colonial powers. If it allowed democracy to flower in the countries it controlled, those nations would begin acting in accordance with their own interests rather than the interests of the United States, and American influence over them would diminish. | Stephen Kinzer | ||
| a5f8f0a | American leaders clamored for this policy because, they said, the country desperately needed a way to resolve its "glut" of overproduction. This glut, however, was largely illusory. While wealthy Americans were lamenting it, huge numbers of ordinary people were living in conditions of severe deprivation. The surplus production from farms and factories could have been used to lift millions out of poverty, but this would have required a form .. | Stephen Kinzer | ||
| 1e45477 | Emma must feel Jake stiffen because she pulls back. He can't see her eyes in the dark and wonders if she is going to say something. Instead she kisses him on the mouth. Then her hand slides slowly down his chest and stomach. She doesn't slip it inside his jeans. She just presses it against his erection. Jake inhales sharply, and he's pretty sure he hears Duncan mutter, "Get a room." | Thomas Fahy | ||
| 57b8685 | Emma has noticed that about Lily. Even hearing Duncan's name makes her giddy. Her plain clothes and slouched shoulders seem to disappear, and she smiles. | Thomas Fahy | ||
| e98e36c | Can you speak to the dead...like your sister?" Ms. Dupre's body seems to loosen, and her voice gets soft as a feather against your skin. "No, child. But you can say goodbye to someone even after he's gone. You just have to find a way that's right for you." | Thomas Fahy | ||
| b7e3715 | In 1848, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, writing in The Communist Manifesto, declared: "In bourgeois society . . . the past dominates the present; in Communist society, the present dominates the past."13 This view is shared by contemporary statists, including the current occupants of the White House. On May 14, 2008, the future First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama, while campaigning for her husband, Barack Obama, proclaimed: "We .. | Mark R. Levin | ||
| bb4ecb6 | Meeting Nelson Mandela gave me the perspective I needed a couple of years into our White House journey--that real change happens slowly, not just over months and years but over decades and lifetimes. | Michelle Obama | ||
| be684a8 | The competition to lead the Review was ferocious every year, involving rigorous vetting and a vote by eighty student editors. Being picked for the position was an enormous achievement for anyone. It turned out that Barack was also the first African American in the publication's 103-year history to be selected--a milestone so huge that it had been written up in the New York Times, accompanied by a photo of Barack, smiling in a scarf and wint.. | Michelle Obama | ||
| 6cb1b35 | Ahora creo que es una de las preguntas mas inutiles que un adulto puede formular a un nino: <>. Como si hacerse mayor tuviera un punto final. Como si en algun momento te convirtieras en algo y ahi se acabara todo. | Michelle Obama | ||

| 8550764 | Trump, with his loud and reckless innuendos, was putting my family's safety at risk. And for this, I'd never forgive him. | Michelle Obama | ||
| 7fd4ce0 | One day I made note of a New York Times article I'd read that reported widespread fatigue, stress, and unhappiness among American lawyers--most especially female ones. "How depressing," I wrote in my journal." | Michelle Obama | ||
| c376503 | Twenty minutes later, I caught sight of Barack across the room, in the grips of what looked to be an endless conversation with the woman, who was doing a large portion of the talking. He shot me a look, implying that he'd like to be rescued. But he was a grown man. I let him rescue himself. | lol | Michelle Obama | |
| 252e4be | I wanted to believe that there was a guy who'd materialize and become everything to me, who'd be sexy and solid and whose effect would be so immediate and deep that I'd be willing to rearrange my priorities. It just wasn't the guy standing in front of me right now. | Michelle Obama | ||
| 32b8ac6 | Acesta este pasul pe care Zarathustra nu l-a putut face: pasul catre ,,omul cel mai urat", omul adevarat. Impotrivirea si frica fata de el dovedesc cat de mare este puterea de atractie si de seductie a ceea ce este inferior. Separarea de inferior nu este o solutie." | zarathustra superman | C.G. Jung | |

| 98a9bde | If man no longer finds any meaning in his life, it makes no difference whether he wastes away under a communist or a capitalist regime. Only if he can use his freedom to create something meaningful is it relevant that he should be free. That is why finding the inner meaning of life is more important to the individual than anything else, and why the process of individuation must be given priority. | C.G. Jung | ||
| 9b47b99 | Every emotional state produces an alteration of consciousness which Janet called abaissement du niveau mental; that is to say there is a certain narrowing of consciousness and a corresponding strengthening of the unconscious which, particularly in the case-of strong affects, is noticeable even to the layman. | C.G. Jung | ||
| eeab5a4 | If a blind man can gradually be helped to see it is not to be expected that he will at once discern new truths with an eagle eye. One must be glad if he sees anything at all, and if he begins to understand what he sees. | C.G. Jung | ||
| 17e41ab | Our past thinking has determined our present status, and our present thinking will determine our future status; for man is what man thinks. | present thoughts past thinking | C.G. Jung | |
| 8f608d3 | We do not base botany upon the old-fashioned division into useful and useless plants, or our zoology upon the naive distinction between harmless and dangerous animals. But we still complacently assume that consciousness is sense and the unconsciousness is nonsense. In science such an assumption would be laughed out of court. Do microbes, for instance, make sense or nonsense? Whatever the unconscious may be, it is a natural phenomenon produc.. | C.G. Jung | ||
| 8028eb9 | The sad truth is that man's real life consists of inexorable opposites--day and night, wellbeing and suffering, birth and death, good and evil. We are not even sure that the one will prevail against the other, that good will overcome evil, or joy defeat pain. Life and the world are a battleground, | C.G. Jung | ||
| 43abf27 | There is only one answer to this: the ancients, with a few illustrious exceptions, entirely lacked the capacity to concentrate their interest on the transformations of inanimate matter and to reproduce the natural process artificially, by which means alone they could have gained control of the forces of nature. What they lacked was training in directed thinking.15 The secret of cultural development is the mobility and disposability of psych.. | C.G. Jung | ||
| 49ff836 | I was twenty-four when I read 'Zarathustra'. I could not understand it, but it made a profound impression upon me, and I felt an analogy between it and the girl in some peculiar way. Later, of course, I found that 'Zarathustra' was written from the unconscious and is a picture of what that man should be. If Zarathustra had come through as a reality for Nietzsche instead of remaining in his 'spirit world,' the intellectual Nietzsche would ha.. | C.G. Jung | ||
| c4f9b41 | But there was no question in Jung's mind that psychology had replaced theology. Indeed, he believed that twentieth-century man had devised a psychology precisely because theology no longer provided any explanation of the world or any comfort for the soul. Jung | Vine Deloria Jr. | ||
| eadee7c | But the very fact that this process is unconscious gives us the reason why man has thought of everything except the psyche in his attempts to explain myths. He simply didn't know that the psyche contains all the images that have ever given rise to myths, and that our unconscious is an acting and suffering subject with an inner drama which primitive man rediscovers, by means of analogy, in the processes of nature both great and small.11 [9] | C.G. Jung | ||

| 841e1c3 | It even seems as if the ego has not been produced by nature to follow its own arbitrary impulses to an unlimited extent, but to help to make real the totality-the whole psyche. It is the ego that serves to light up the entire system, allowing it to become conscious and thus to be realized. If, for example, I have an artistic talent of which my ego is not conscious, nothing will happen to it. The gift may as well be non-existent. Only if my .. | C.G. Jung | ||
| 294c2f9 | You can hardly say of your soul what sex it is. But if you pay close attention, you will see that the most masculine man has a feminine soul, and the most feminine woman a masculine soul. | relationships masculine masculinity femininity soul | C.G. Jung | |
| 8589a69 | in so far as society is itself composed of de-individualized human beings, it is completely at the mercy of ruthless individualists. | C.G. Jung | ||
| d609019 | Unfortunately there can be no doubt that man is, on the whole, less good than he imagines himself or wants to be. Everyone carries a shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual's conscious life, the blacker and | C. G. Jung | ||
| e49996d | It is the face of his own evil shadow that grins at Western man from the other side of the Iron curtain. | C.G. Jung | ||
| b372e36 | That the gods die from time to time is due to man's sudden discovery that they do not mean anything, that they are made by human hands, useless idols of wood and stone. | C.G. Jung | ||
| 31a9e68 | But he (Nietzsche) never would be able to realize that he is like ordinary people and he should realize that too. For instance, if he were really a sage, he would say to himself "Go out into the street, go to the little people, be one of them and see how you like it, how much you enjoy being such a small thing. That is yourself." And so he would learn that he was not his own greatness." | C.G. Jung | ||
| cb4d619 | The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed. --C. G. Jung | Dean Koontz | ||
| 015c433 | It is not the universal and the regular that characterize the individual, but rather the unique. He is not to be understood as a recurrent unit but as something unique and singular which in the last analysis can be neither known nor compared with anything else. | psychology | C.G. Jung | |
| abcaa30 | In other words, our conscious representations are sometimes ordered (or arranged in a pattern) before they have become conscious to us. The 18th-century German mathematician Karl Friedrich Gauss gives an example of an experience of such an unconscious order of ideas: He says that he found a certain rule in the theory of numbers "not by painstaking research, but by the Grace of God, so to speak. The riddle solved itself as lightning strikes,.. | C.G. Jung | ||
| 5f781a9 | You know, it is sometimes an ideal not to have any kind of convictions or feelings that are not based upon reality. One must even educate people...that their emotions ought to have a real basis, that they cannot swear hell and damnation at somebody on a mere assumption, and that there are absolute reasons why they are not justified in doing such a thing. They really have to learn that their feelings should be based on facts. | C.G. Jung | ||
| e1b7952 | To many death seems to be a brutal and meaningless end to a short and meaningless existence. So it looks, if seen from the surface and from the darkness. But when we penetrate the depths of the soul and when we try to understand its mysterious life, we shall discern that death is not a meaningless end, the mere vanishing into nothingness -- it is an accomplishment, a ripe fruit on the tree of life. Nor is death an abrupt extinction, but a g.. | C.G. Jung | ||

| b86c9a7 | Destroy the traces. I'd never tried to do that. Instead I'd lived in their midst for thirty years, oblivious, a blind man fancying himself invisible. | Jonathan Lethem | ||
| 310dac2 | Escuchame. Soy timido. No tonto. No puedo mirar a la gente a los ojos. No se si entiendes lo que se siente. Hay todo un mundo que existe a mi alrededor, lo se. No es que no quiera mirarte. Es que no quiero que me vean. Tengo miedo de lo que vereis dentro de mi. Me averguenzo, me da miedo que me mires a los ojos y descubras algo malo, estropeado. | Jonathan Lethem |
