Become aware of internal, subjective, sub-verbal experiences, so that these experiences can be brought into the world of abstraction, of conversation, of naming, etc. with the consequence that it immediately becomes possible for a certain amount of control to be exerted over these hitherto unconscious and uncontrollable processes.

The roots of all goodness lie in the soil of appreciation for goodness.

Dalai Lama

I love her bare legs from a distance. When she's standing by a pool. When she's facing the water, thinking. Her legs are white as watermelon rind, veined blue from cold. There's that 'H' shape behind her knees. The H trembles softly with the swimming-water cold.

Jaclyn Moriarty

W. H. Auden

And this was the price you paid for sleeping together.

Ernest Hemingway

Henry Ward Beecher

André Gide

Twelve highlanders and a bagpipe make a rebellion.

Scottish Proverb

To err is human, but when the eraser wears out ahead of the pencil, you're overdoing it.

Josh Jenkins

Nikola Tesla

She felt more deeply, more passionately, every year. It increased, he said, alas, perhaps, but one should be glad of it-- it went on increasing in his experience.

Virginia Woolf

Intimate or drastic elements in the work of others are untouchable and should not be commented upon even in their absence. Private conflicts, quarrels, sentiments, animosities are unavoidable in any human group. It is our duty towards creation to keep these in check in so far as they might deform and wreck the work process.

Jerzy Grotowski
