“The most comprehensive formulation of therapeutic goals is the striving for wholeheartedness: to be without pretense, to be emotionally sincere, to be able to put the whole of oneself into one's feelings, one's work, one's beliefs.”
Our Inner Conflicts: A Constructive Theory of Neurosis • Karen Horney“Cathy's lies were never innocent. Their purpose was to escape punishment, or work, or responsibility, and they were used for profit. Most liars are tripped up either because they forget what they have told or because the lie is suddenly faced with an incontrovertible truth. But Cathy did not forget her lies, and she developed the most effective method of lying. She stayed close enough to the truth so that one could never be sure. She knew two other methods also -- either to interlard her lies with truth or to tell a truth as though it were a lie. If one is accused of a lie and it turns out to be the truth, there is a backlog that will last a long time and protect a number of untruths.”
East Of Eden • John Steinbeck“There are some defeats more triumphant than victories.”
Essays • Michel De Montaigne“Violence does, in truth, recoil upon the violent, and the schemer falls into the pit which he digs for another.”
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes • Arthur Conan Doyle“Weariness, which seeks to get to the ultimate with one leap, with one death-leap; a poor ignorant weariness, unwilling even to will any longer: that created all gods and afterworlds.”
Thus Spoke Zarathustra • F Nietzsche
