“All war is a symptom of man's failure as a thinking animal.”
Once There Was a War • John Steinbeck“Basic anxiety can be roughly described as a feeling of being small, insignificant, helpless, deserted or endangered in a world that is out to abuse, cheat, humiliate, betray, envy... . And special in this is the child's feeling that the parents' love, their Christian charity, honesty, generosity ... may be only a pretense.”
Our Inner Conflicts: A Constructive Theory of Neurosis • Karen Horney“ “A meaningful life can be extremely satisfying even in the midst of hardship, whereas a meaningless life is a terrible ordeal no matter how comfortable it is.””
Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind • Yuval Noah Harari“To experience conflicts knowingly, though it may be distressing, can be an invaluable asset. The more we face our own conflicts and seek out our own solutions, the more inner freedom and strength we will gain. Only when we are willing to bear the brunt can we approximate the ideal of being the captain of our ship. Spurious tranquillity rooted in inner dullness is anything but enviable. It is bound to make us weak and an easy prey to any kind of influence.”
Our Inner Conflicts: A Constructive Theory of Neurosis • Karen Horney“This is what happens when you hurry through a maze; the faster you go, the worse you are entangled.”
Epistulae Morales ad Lucilium • Lucius Annaeus Seneca
