Limitations

Random quote of the day:

“I tend to approach characters not based on ethnicity but on some unique individual qualities, and I’ve set my whole life that way. I don’t want any sort of limitations imposed on my work. If you truly want to be a creative person, you can’t limit yourself.”

—Billy Dee Williams, The SyFy Wire, January 30, 2014

Unfillable

Posted by PJ under death, individuality, quote of the day
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“There will be no one like us when we are gone, but then there is no one like anyone else, ever. When people die, they cannot be replaced. They leave holes that cannot be filled, for it is the fate—the genetic and neural fate—of every human being to be a unique individual, to find his own path, to live his own life, to die his own death.”

—Oliver Sacks, “My Own Life: Oliver Sacks on Learning He Has Terminal Cancer,” New York Times, February 19, 2015

Rooted

Random quote of the day:

“We are in the habit of speaking of ‘the last frontier,’ but wherever there are ‘individuals’ there will always be new frontiers. For the man who wants to lead the good life, which is a way of saying his own life, there is always a spot where he can dig in and take root.”

—Henry Miller, Big Sure and the Oranges of Hieronymous Bosch

Universal individuality

Posted by PJ under individuality, jung, psychology, quote of the day, therapy
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“Psychotherapy and analysis are as varied as are human individuals. I treat every patient as individually as possible, because the solution of the problem is always an individual one. Universal rules can be postulated only with a grain of salt. A psychological truth is valid only if it can be reversed.”

—Carl Jung, Memories, Dreams, Reflections

Nature

No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“The bitter and the sweet come from the outside, the hard from within, from one’s own efforts. For the most part I do the thing which my own nature drives me to do.”

No such thing as average

Posted by PJ under individuality, myth, quote of the day, science
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“Myth is more individual and expresses life more precisely than does science. Science works with concepts of averages which are far too general to do justice to the subjective variety of an individual life.”

—Carl Jung, Memories, Dreams, Reflections

To suffer

Posted by PJ under individuality, pain, quote of the day, suffering
No Comments

Random quote of the day: 

“Pain is the most individualizing thing on earth. It is true that it is the great common bond as well but that realization only comes when it is over. To suffer is to be alone; to watch another suffer is to know the barrier that shuts each of us away by himself. Only individuals can suffer and only individuals have a place in tragedy.”

—Edith Hamilton, The Greek Way

Yourself

Posted by PJ under eccentricity, evil, individuality, quote of the day
No Comments

Random quote of the day: 

“The surest defense against Evil is extreme individualism, originality of thinking, whimsicality, even—if you will—eccentricity. That is, something that can’t be feigned, faked, imitated; something even a seasoned imposter couldn’t be happy with.”

—Joseph Brodsky, “A College Commencement Address,” Less Than One: Selected Essays
