| 7064ccd | Relieving pain, like building trust, is an inside job. It is only when you have been broken down mentally, emotionally, or spiritually and choose to stand up and keep moving that you can know the true meaning and value of trust. Trust is a function of choice. Trust grows in hearts that have often been broken open by pain. Trust can unfold in response to devastation, disappointment, and, more often than not, a depth of dysfunction that threa.. | Iyanla Vanzant | ||
| dc18699 | There is only one way to shift your consciousness from painful conditional attachments to peaceful unconditional love. You must create new love expectations based on honour, respect & support. Honour what you feel by believing you can have what you want. Respect where you are in your life, understanding that when you are ready to move forward you will. Support yourself by refusing to accept less than you want. This is your foundation. | Iyanla Vanzant | ||
| bb32139 | I also learned that when we have unforgiving thoughts about anyone or anything, it blocks the positive flow of good into our lives. | Iyanla Vanzant | ||
| fc05597 | Each person represents a microcosm of the world in which we live--where anger and fear, confusion and isolation, lack of faith and a wanton disregard for the divine process of life causes people to act against their true nature. Since our true nature is to be trusting, every small violation of individual trust creates a ripple effect that ultimately impacts the entire world in which we live. That's how important we are as individuals, and t.. | Iyanla Vanzant | ||

| 80a2668 | If a job isn't worth dreaming about, it isn't worth having. -- Deborah Gregory | Iyanla Vanzant | ||
| 6cb581a | Unfortunately, it is normal to get stuck on the heartbreak, and in doing so miss the lessons. | Iyanla Vanzant | ||
| 35884b9 | It takes a great deal of energy to doubt yourself constantly, and even more to beat yourself up--or down--even if it's only in your own mind. While you are engaged in mental or emotional battery, you are bound to feel exhausted. In the midst of mental or emotional exhaustion, the negative ego can and will trick you into believing that you now have a valid justification for why you should not, cannot, and do not trust yourself. This is what .. | Iyanla Vanzant | ||

| 7548bcc | Much to my surprise, as I set them free, I was able to forgive myself for the judgments I had made about them. I now hold them in a loving space in my heart and honor them as my ancestors who love me and guide me each day. | Iyanla Vanzant | ||

We often measure our value and worth by comparing ourselves to another woman's weight, breast size, complexion, career, talents, financial status, intellect, personal style, marital status, and every other aspect of their lives. | Iyanla Vanzant | ||

| 906232c | When you do not trust yourself, what you feel, and what you know, you will expect people to be who they are not. You will hope against hope that they will do things you already know they cannot do. You will expect them to be who you want them to be rather than trusting what you know about who they are and what they are capable of doing. This is not trust. This is magical thinking, and engaging in it will set you up for a big letdown. Trusti.. | Iyanla Vanzant | ||

| c44fd6b | Comparison is an act of violence against the self. It also leads to judgments and jealousy of those we deem "better off" than we are. If we aren't the ones doing the comparing, then we're the ones against whom other women measure themselves. In either case, the comparison, judgments, and jealousy can lead to ugly behavior." | Iyanla Vanzant | ||
| b6a8ca5 | To say that "the worker has an interest in the rapid growth of capital", means only this: that the more speedily the worker augments the wealth of the capitalist, the larger will be the crumbs which fall to him, the greater will be the number of workers than can be called into existence, the more can the mass of slaves dependent upon capital be increased." | capitalism capitalist friedrich-engels karl-marx wage-labor wage-labour wage-slavery | Karl Marx | |

| 19eec1b | As my friend Jeremy Gilbert-Rolfe has argued persuasively, there is an element of positivity in the visible world, and in color particularly, that totally eludes the historicity of language, with its protocols of absence and polarity. The color red, as an attribute of the world, is always there. It is something other than the absence of yellow and blue--and, thus, when that red becomes less red, it becomes one or the other. It never exist.. | Dave Hickey | ||

| 8f173c8 | In the same way, we have to inform the multitude that restoration comes at a price. Suppose we give them an intimation of the cost through a series of questions. Are you ready, we must ask them, to grant that the law of reward is inflexible and that one cannot, by cunning or through complaints, obtain more than he puts in? Are you prepared to see that comfort may be a seduction and that the fetish of material prosperity will have to be push.. | Richard Weaver | ||

| 40bb280 | There is no such thing as a nonpolitical Christianity. To refuse to critique the system or the status quo is to fully support it--which is a political act well disguised. Like Pilate, many Christians choose to wash their hands in front of the crowd and declare themselves innocent, saying with him, "It is your concern" (Matthew 27: 25). Pilate maintains his purity and Jesus pays the price. Going somewhere good means having to go through and .. | Richard Rohr | ||
| f090908 | Ultimately Russell himself admitted that he made his greatest efforts in the field of traditional philosophy - in epistemology, the search for the ultimate grounds of our knowledge about the world. How can we be certain that what we claim to know is true? Where lies the certainty in our experience of the world? Can even the most precise knowledge - such as mathematics - be said to rest on any sure logical foundation? These were the question.. | Paul Strathern | ||
| 40bee8f | The myth persists in Egypt to this day that Napoleon's soldiers actually disfigured some of these ruins, and are even said to have used the Sphinx as target practice for their cannons, shooting off its nose. This last is a calumny: it is known that the Sphinx was defaced as early as the eighth century by the Sufi iconoclast Saim-ed-Dahr,28 and was further damaged in 1380 by fanatical Muslims prompted by the Koran's strictures against images.. | Paul Strathern | ||

| 5ee79e3 | The sex-drive in the Freudian system is essentially something to be disposed of -through the proper channels or by sublimation; pleasure is derived not from its pursuit, but from getting rid of it. | Arthur Koestler | ||
| b9cfc64 | Persuasion may play a part in a man's conversion; but only the part of bringing to its full and conscious climax a process which has been maturing in regions where no persuasion can penetrate. A faith is not acquired; it grows like a tree. | Arthur Koestler | ||
| e013a8f | Among other members of our cell I remember Dr. Wilhelm Reich, Founder and Director of the Sex-Pol. (Institute for Sexual Politics). He was a Freudian Marxist; inspired by Malinowski, he had just published a book called 'The Function of the Orgasm,' in which he expounded the theory that the sexual frustration of the Proletariat caused a thwarting of its political consciousness; only through a full, uninhibited release of the sexual urge coul.. | Arthur Koestler | ||
| 982a051 | The comic effect of the satire is derived from the simultaneous presence, in the reader's mind, of the social reality with which he is familiar, and of its reflections in the distorting mirror of the satirist. It focuses attention on abuses and deformities in society of which, blunted by habit, we were no longer aware; it makes us suddenly discover the absurdity of the familiar and the familiarity of the absurd. | Arthur Koestler | ||

| aa4ab28 | I am trying to stress a point which they do not sufficiently emphasize, or tend to overlook altogether-namely, that the organism is not a mosaic aggregate of elementary physico-chemical processes, but a hierarchy in which each member, from the sub-cellular level upward, is a closely integrated structure, equipped with self-regulatory devices, and enjoys an advanced form of self-government. | Arthur Koestler | ||
