It is true that there are exercises that can strengthen the 'muscle' that enable us to push back the bounds of acceptation. But these are relatively unimportant. The real problem is that we are trapped in misconceptions that always deceive us, as the matador's cape deceives the bull; that continue to deceive us a million times over the course of a lifetime. Wittgenstein once said that traditional philosophy causes a form of mental cramp, and that the aim of his philosophy was to remove this mental cramp, or to 'show the fly the way out of the bottle'. Our misconceptions involve the passive fallacy and notion that consciousness is a plane mirror that cannot lie about the world it reflects.

My doctor explained that exercise and diet changes might help and that I also might need a medication.

Della Reese

Stern is the on-look of necessity,Not without shudder may a human handGrasp the mysterious urn of destiny.

Friedrich von Schiller, The Deat

Then indecision brings its own delays,And days are lost lamenting o'er lost days.Are you in earnest? Seize this very minute;What you can do, or dream you can, begin it;Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

I believe that you control your destiny, that you can be what you want to be. You can also stop and say, 'No, I won't do it, I won't behave his way anymore. I'm lonely and I need people around me, maybe I have to change my methods of behaving,' and then you do it.

Leo Buscaglia

A corner is important. It provides privacy and an anchor and lets you exist independently of the room.

Roger Ebert

Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance.

Carl Sandburg

The intuition of free will gives us the truth.

Corliss Lamont

The secret of genius is to carry the spirit of the child into old age, which means never losing your enthusiasm.

Aldous Huxley

The future will be better tomorrow.

Dan Quayle

Were it offered to my choice, I should have no objection to a repetition of the same life from its beginning, only asking the advantages authors have in a second edition to correct some faults in the first.

Benjamin Franklin

To be so bent on Marriage - to pursue a man merely for the sake of situation - is a sort of thing that shocks me; I cannot understand it. Poverty is a great Evil, but to a woman of Education and feeling it ought not, it cannot be the greatest. I would rather be a teacher at a school (and I can think of nothing worse) than marry a man I did not like.

Jane Austen

Iwapo kila mtu atamheshimu mwenzake kama anavyojiheshimu mwenyewe; tunaweza kuishi mbinguni duniani ... lakini kwanza tuwe na maarifa binafsi.
