Re: Quotable Quotes 12

The idea of limited good shows up in many common expressions. When something great happens, we say, “It’s too good to be true.” Or “I am just waiting for the other shoe to drop.” We believe that we must pay for our good by suffering. But genuine good is not too good to be true. It is good enough to be true. There is no other shoe. You will not be punished for being happy. You will only get happier.

Re: Quotable Quotes 12

Few or no habits are absolutely "fixed." Even reaching for the spoon that is always at the right of one's plate at breakfast contains a quantum of exploration with guidance by sight or touch or both...Even a rather simple segment of behavior may display a subtle, piecemeal activity of situations and an elaborate cooperation of connections.

~ Edward Thorndike, Human Learning (1931)

Re: Quotable Quotes 12

“Vulnerability is not a weakness, a passing indisposition, or something we can arrange to do without. Vulnerability is not a choice. Vulnerability is the underlying, ever-present, and abiding undercurrent of our natural state. To run from vulnerability is to run from the essence of our nature. The attempt to be invulnerable is the vain attempt to become something we are not, and most especially, to close off our understanding of the grief of others. More seriously, in refusing our vulnerability, we refuse the help needed at every turn of our existence and immobilize the essential title and conversational foundations of our identity.”

― David Whyte

Re: Quotable Quotes 12

“We discovered that peace at any price is no peace at all...that life at any price has no value whatever; that life is nothing without the privileges, the prides, the rights, the joys that make it worth living and also worth giving...and that there is something more hideous, more atrocious than war or than death; and that is to live in fear.”

― Eve Curie Labouisse

"Art is the only way to run away without leaving home."

"The only thing I fear more than change is no change. The business of being static makes me nuts."

Re: Quotable Quotes 12

"Just like people have basic physical needs, like to sleep and eat and drink, they have basic psychological needs. The need for meaning and purpose is No. 1. It's the deepest driver of well-being there is."
