Who has not wished that his host would come out frankly at the beginning of the visit and state, in no uncertain terms, the rules ...and preferences of the household in such matters as the breakfast hour? And who has not sounded out his guest to find out what he likes in the regulation of his diet and modus vivendi (mode of living)?LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The real questions are the ones that obtrude upon your consciousness whether you like it or not, the ones that make your mind star...t vibrating like a jackhammer, the ones that you "come to terms with" only to discover that they are still there. The real questions refuse to be placated. They barge into your life at the times when it seems most important for them to stay away. They are the questions asked most frequently and answered most inadequately, the ones that reveal their true natures slowly, reluctantly, most often against your will.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Women have acquired equal place to man in society, but the double standard has really never been relinquished; certainly not by me...n.

We are well advised to keep on nodding terms with the people we used to be, whether we find them attractive company or not. Otherw...ise they turn up unannounced and surprise us, come hammering on the mind's door at 4am of a bad night and demand to know who deserted them, who betrayed them, who is going to make amends.

In every dualistic system, and especially in that of Kant, the fundamental defect makes itself visible in the inconsistency of uni...fying at one moment what a moment before had been explained to be independent and therefore incapable of unification. And then, at the very moment after unification has been alleged to be the truth, we suddenly come upon the doctrine that the two elements which, in their true state of unification, had been refused all independent subsistence, are only true and actual in their state of separation. Philosophizing of this kind wants the little penetration needed to discover, that this shuffling only evidences how unsatisfactory each one of the two terms is. And it fails simply because it is incapable of bringing two thoughts together.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
That reality is 'independent' means that there is something in every experience that escapes our arbitrary control. If it be a sen...sible experience it coerces our attention; if a sequence, we cannot invert it; if we compare two terms we can come to only one result. There is a push, an urgency, within our very experience, against which we are on the whole powerless, and which drives us in a direction that is the destiny of our belief.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Anyone who cannot come to terms with his life while he is alive needs one hand to ward off a little his despair over his fate ... ...but with his other hand he can note down what he sees among the ruins.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
