| 4e14cfc | But I've still better things about children. I've collected a great, great deal about Russian children, Alyosha. There was a little girl of five who was hated by her father and mother, 'most worthy and respectable people, of good education and breeding.' You see, I must repeat again, it is a peculiar characteristic of many people, this love of torturing children, and children only. To all other types of humanity these torturers behave mildl.. | cruelty ivan karamazov | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | |

No matter how much I bleed or how ruthless I become...as long as you come back, I'll be fine with it... As long as you come back, I can willingly give up my life for you... So please let Himi come back to me... Let my Himi come back... | Yuki Shimizu | ||

| d70686e | Eh bien, monsieur de Rastignac, traitez ce monde comme il merite de l'etre. Vous voulez parvenir, je vous aiderai. Vous sonderez combien est profonde la corruption feminine, vous toiserez la largeur de la miserable vanite des hommes. Quoique j'aie bien lu dans ce livre du monde, il y avait des pages qui cependant m'etaient inconnues. Maintenant je sais tout. Plus froidement vous calculerez, plus avant vous irez.

| a48a759 | The viscountess had raised the forefinger of her right hand and made a pretty gesture toward a stool at her feet. There was such intense tyrannical passion in the gesture that the marquis relinquished the doorknob and came back. | grace power woman | Honoré de Balzac | |

| b8d18b1 | This quick foray onto the toilet has been no different an endeavor than any other time I've used the restroom in my adult life. Try then to imagine my surprise when instead of the waste going down the u-bend like the thousands of times previous, the bowl's contents go not gentle into that good night. Instead, they shoot directly up at me . . . at approximately 80 miles an hour. | Jen Lancaster | ||

Praise be to all that is holy that Facebook didn't exist when I was that age and the Internet then was but a Usenet group for Star Trek fans. I feel like the luckiest person in the world to have grown up when cameras used actual film because the only thing that stood between infamy and me was the clerk who developed photos at Walgreens.

| f283ac8 | Tip of the Week If you bought $1,000 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49. If you bought $1,000 worth of Budweiser (the beer, not the stock) one year ago, drank all the beer, and traded in the cans for the nickel deposit, you would have $79. My advice to you...start drinking heavily. | Burton G. Malkiel | ||
| 821e3a3 | When experiences or emotions become too overwhlming, the mind clevely encapsulates the material and stores it for safe-keeping. Many people respond this way in the face of trauma, but the additional step that occurs in this process, in the case of DID, is the formation of distinct ego states that carry the experience. | compartmentalization coping dissociation dissociative dissociative-identity-disorder dissociative-parts memory-fragmentation multiple-personalities ptsd trauma traumatic-experiences traumatized | Deborah Bray Haddock | |

That, at least, got Second to look back at Mr. Reardon. 'Does FBI mean Federal Bureau of Idiots?' he asked.

| ef145ef | Depression is now ten times as prevalent as it was in 1960, and it strikes at a much younger age. The mean age of a person's first episode of depression forty years ago was 29.5, while today it is 14.5 years. This is a paradox, since every objective indicator of well-being--purchasing power, amount of education, availability of music, and nutrition--has been going north, while every indicator of subjective well-being has been going south.

| 51ca8e3 | It turns out, however, that how much life satisfaction people report is itself determined by how good we feel at the very moment we are asked the question. Averaged over many people, the mood you are in determines more than 70 percent of how much life satisfaction you report and how well you judge your life to be going at that moment determines less than 30 percent. | Martin E.P. Seligman | ||
| a2728e3 | After a heated dispute, we each undertook an assignment for the next class: to engage in one pleasurable activity and one philanthropic activity, and write about both. The results were life-changing. The afterglow of the "pleasurable" activity (hanging out with friends, or watching a movie, or eating a hot fudge sundae) paled in comparison with the effects of the kind action. When our philanthropic acts were spontaneous and called upon pers.. | Martin E.P. Seligman | ||
| f03c03e | Make up your mind that you will be happy whether you are rich or poor, healthy or unhealthy, happily married or unhappily married, young or old, smiling or crying. Don't wait for yourself, your family, or your surroundings to change before you can be happy within yourself. Make up your mind to be happy within yourself, right now, whatever you are, or wherever you are. | Paramahansa Yogananda | ||
| 15a5dc9 | A man can't hit a woman and stay a man. He becomes a loathsome thing, even to himself. But the woman who stays with such a man panders to his darkness. They both risk their souls. | Homer Hickam | ||

| 1a309b6 | For leaders to get results they need all three kinds of focus. Inner focus attunes us to our intuitions, guiding values, and better decisions. Other focus smooths our connections to the people in our lives. And outer focus lets us navigate in the larger world. A leader tuned out of his internal world will be rudderless; one blind to the world of others will be clueless; those indifferent to the larger systems within which they operate will .. | Daniel Goleman | ||
| 566ccdd | But there is virtually no relationship between being an expert and being seen as someone people can trust with their secrets, doubts, and vulnerabilities. A petty office tyrant or micromanager may be high on expertise, but will be so low on trust that it will undermine their ability to manage, and effectively exclude them from informal networks. | Daniel Goleman |
