A good illustration of the manner in which the person who has power may hurt another person incidentally without without the express wish of doing so woul.. | Walter Kaufmann | ||
| 6f02489 | The Germans think that strength must reveal itself in hardness and cruelty; then they submit with fervor and admiration: they are suddenly rid of their pitiful weakness and their sensitivity for every naught, and they devoutly enjoy terror.

| 38a5500 | Nietzsche says: "Nicht nur fort sollst du dich pflanzen sondern hinauf"--you should propagate yourself not only onward but upward: procreation need not be a senseless continuation of an essentially meaningless story and an addition of more and more zeros--it can really be a creation." | Walter Kaufmann | ||
| 6c30314 | The point is not at all that you are found interesting or fascinating instead of being seen as a fellow I. The shock is rather that you are not found interesting or fascinating at all: you are not recognized as an object any more than a subject. You are accepted, if at all, as one to be spoken at and spoken of; but when you are spoken of, the lord of every story will be I. | Walter Kaufmann | ||

| 2464479 | Greek tragedy operates through the ear. It is through the ear primarily that it enters the eyes, the senses, the mind, the heart. It must be spoken aloud. It is designed for that. And until that is done these plays have not been read, have not been used, have not been born. | Paul Roche | ||

| 037f624 | Values constitute your personal "bottom line." They serve as guides to action. They inform the priorities you set and the decisions you make. They tell you when to say yes and when to say no. They also help you explain the choices you make and why you made them.

You discover that despite your b.. | James M. Kouzes | ||
| c89f04e | Don't be defensive. People will be reluctant to share feedback if they are afraid of hurting your feelings or having to justify their perceptions. Listen carefully. Relax and actively listen to understand what the other person is trying to tell you; be sensitive to how your nonverbal communication is affecting the other person's willingness to share with you. Suspend judgment. Listen, don't judge. Don't worry about what you're going to say,.. | James M. Kouzes | ||

| aa8a186 | When doubt is present in your consciousness it indicates a much more profound problem. The real problem is the personal lie. Everyone has one: It is a story that we tell ourselves about who we are and what we do and do not deserve in life.
