See All“[Neurotics are] torn by inner conflicts ... Every neurotic ... is at war with himself.”
Self-Analysis • Karen Horney““There is no other way of guarding oneself from flatterers except letting men understand that to tell you the truth does not offend you.””
The Prince • Niccolo Machiavelli““Is there anything surprising in one who passes from divine contemplations to the evil state of man, misbehaving himself in a ridiculous manner; if, while his eyes are blinking and before he has become accustomed to the surrounding darkness, he is compelled to fight in courts of law, or in other places, about the images or the shadows of images of justice, and is endeavouring to meet the conceptions of those who have never yet seen absolute justice?””
Republic • Plato“Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worst kind of suffering.”
By The River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept • Paulo Coelho“The most radical division that it is possible to make of humanity is that which splits it into two classes of creatures: Those who make great demands on themselves, piling up difficulties and duties; and those who demand nothing special of themselves, but for whom to live is to be every moment what they already are, without imposing on themselves any effort towards perfection, mere buoys that float on the waves.”
the Revolt of the Masses • Jose Ortega y Gasset
