Sunday Inspiration.     Post by David Joel Miller.

“Illusions commend themselves to us because they save us pain and allow us to enjoy pleasure instead. We must therefore accept it without complaint when they sometimes collide with a bit of reality against which they are dashed to pieces.”

― Sigmund Freud, Reflections on War and Death

“We live in a generation that applauds the bad more than it commends the good.”

― Pierre Alex Jeanty, Unspoken Feelings of a Gentleman

“The betterment of the world can be accomplished through pure and goodly deeds and through commendable and seemly conduct.”

― Baha’u’llah

Wanted to share some inspirational quotes with you. Today seemed like a good time to do this. There are an estimated 100,000 words in the English language that are feelings related. Some emotions are pleasant, and some are unpleasant, but all feelings can provide useful information. I’ve also included some words related to strengths and values since the line between what we think and what we feel may vary from person to person. If any of these quotes strike a chord with you, please share them.

Bewitched

Sunday Inspiration.     Post by David Joel Miller.

“He had loved the library, and had felt, as a boy, as though it had a kind of sentience, and perhaps loved him back. But even if it was just walls and a roof with papers inside, it had bewitched him, and drawn him in, and given him everything he needed to become himself.”

― Laini Taylor, Strange the Dreamer

“Maps had always interested her; there was something bewitching in knowing one’s precise location in relation to others on the earth.”

― Sarah J. Maas, Throne of Glass

Candor

Sunday Inspiration.     Post by David Joel Miller.

“Truth is a risky proposition. It’s the nature of mediocre human beings to believe that lies are necessary, that they serve a purpose, that truth is subversive, that candor is dangerous, that the very scaffold of communal life is supported by lies.”

― Anne Rice, The Wolf Gift

“It takes a certain amount of courage, he thought, to face yourself and say with candor, I’m rotten. I’ve done evil and I will again. It was no accident; it emanated from the true, authentic me.”

― Philip K. Dick, The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch

“It is true that there is not enough beauty in the world.

It is also true that I am not competent to restore it.

Neither is there candor, and here I may be of some use.”

― Louise Glück, Averno

― W.C. Fields

“…like that star of the waning summer who beyond all stars rises bathed in the ocean stream to glitter in brilliance.”

Availability

Sunday Inspiration.     Post by David Joel Miller.

― Charles T. Munger

“If you love someone but rarely make yourself available to him or her, that is not true love.”

― Thich Nhat Hanh, Living Buddha, Living Christ

“Violence is what people do when they run out of good ideas. It’s attractive because it’s simple, it’s direct, it’s almost always available as an option. When you can’t think of a good rebuttal for your opponent’s argument, you can always punch them in the face.”

― James S.A. Corey, Abaddon’s Gate

― John Dewey, The Quest for Certainty: A Study of the Relation of Knowledge and Action

― Kaui Hart Hemmings, The Descendants

“You do have a story inside you; it lies articulate and waiting to be written — behind your silence and your suffering.”
