[He Must Have Given Up On Image Making Because His Eyes Had Failed To See Something They Had Yearned For; His Mind Had Failed To Capture Whatever It Had Hoped, And That Probing Gaze Perhaps Expressed Alarm At The Emptying Of His Vision, At The Dissolution Of The Things See, Observed, Into A Meaningless Vastness.]

Greg Paul Quotes
"When I seek him, root my values and desires in him, when I found my relationships and sense of self on him, my capacity for joy increases. The more I "have" Jesus, the deeper my enjoyment of him. He increases my desire for those things that are good, adds value to that which is benign, and diminishes the strength of the negative (the evil) that threatens to throttle me. My dependence on material values and experiences as the means by which I define or please myself decreases.

"Matar al enemigo, aunque su muerte ya no tenga sentido... Así es la guerra. El odio genera odio hasta que no resta más para destruir.

Blake OConnor Quotes
"Religious teachings say that animals dont have souls, but I dont believe that. Our pets cherish our every move, and wait patiently for us to return home from a days work. Our pets would give their lives for us in a heartbeat and not ask for anything in return. How can man live without companionship when we were meant to live in a family unit, just like our canine friends? So, I ask you: How could a dog not have a soul?

Quotes About Sessions
"Why are...poor people more ready to share their goods than rich people? The answer is easy: The poor have little to lose; the rich have more to lose and they are more attached to their pos
sessions. Poverty provides a deeper motivation for understanding your neighbors, welcoming others and attending to those who are suffering. I would go so far as to say that poverty helps you understand what happiness is, what serenity is in life.

Quotes About Doubles Tennis
"Each weekend I play at least one and maybe two sets of tennis a day. My doubles team was in the finals recently at my tennis club in Palm Beach and lost a tiebreaker after a three-hour match. I must confess, by the end of the three hours, I was relieved it was over.

Quotes About Aristocracy
"The territorial
aristocracy of former ages was either bound by law, or thought itself bound by usage, to come to the relief of its serving-men and to relieve their distress. But the manufacturing
aristocracy of our age first impoverishes and debases the men who serve it and then abandons them to be supported by the charity of the public. This is a natural consequence of what has been said before. Between the workman and the master there are frequent relations, but no real association.I am of the opinion, on the whole, that the manufacturing
aristocracy which is growing up under our eyes is one of the harshest that ever existed in the world; but at the same time it is one of the most confined and least dangerous. Nevertheless, the friends of democracy should keep their eyes anxiously fixed in this direction; for if ever a permanent inequality of conditions and
aristocracy again penetrates into the world, it may be predicted that this is the gate by which they will enter.

Quotes About Told
"Workshop Hermeticism, fiction for which the highest praise involves the words competent, finished, problem-free, fiction over which Writing-Program pre- and proscriptions loom with the enclosing force of horizons: no character without Freudian trauma in accessible past, without near-diagnostic physical description; no image undissolved into regulation Updikean metaphor; no overture without a dramatized scene to show whats
told; no denouement prior to an epiphany whose approach can be charted by and Freitag on any Macintosh.

Quotes About Behavior Therapy
"During the worst time of Jesses cycle, the "worry" region of her brain was overactive, which caused her to become fixated on things, and the judgment and impulse control part of her brain was underactive. The alcohol likely further dropped her ability to control her behavior. Thats why she was so distraught with her husband and why the idea of grabbing the knife wasnt properly processed and filtered out. During the best time of her cycle, Jesses brain was much more balanced. The answer to this womans problem was not just anger-management therapy. It was to get her hormonal fluctuations under control. During the days prior to starting your period, estrogen and progesterone levels hit rock bottom. On scans, I see the worry center of the brain (the anterior cingulate gyrus) start to fire up; as a result, women can get stuck on negative thoughts or give in to behaviors they think will make them feel better, such as reaching for wine or cookies.
