    Irvin D. Yalom
    “I do not like to work with patients who are in love. Perhaps it is because of envy—I, too, crave enchantment. Perhaps it is because love and psychotherapy are fundamentally incompatible. The good therapist fights darkness and seeks illumination, while romantic love is sustained by mystery and crumbles upon inspection. I hate to be love’s executioner.”
    Irvin D. Yalom, Love's Executioner

    Fyodor Dostoevsky
    “The more I love humanity in general the less I love man in particular. In my dreams, I often make plans for the service of humanity, and perhaps I might actually face crucifixion if it were suddenly necessary. Yet I am incapable of living in the same room with anyone for two days together. I know from experience. As soon as anyone is near me, his personality disturbs me and restricts my freedom. In twenty-four hours I begin to hate the best of men: one because he’s too long over his dinner, another because he has a cold and keeps on blowing his nose. I become hostile to people the moment they come close to me. But it has always happened that the more I hate men individually the more I love humanity.”
    Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

    Fernando Pessoa
    “The feelings that hurt most, the emotions that sting most, are those that are absurd - The longing for impossible things, precisely because they are impossible; nostalgia for what never was; the desire for what could have been; regret over not being someone else; dissatisfaction with the world’s existence. All these half-tones of the soul’s consciousness create in us a painful landscape, an eternal sunset of what we are.”
    Fernando Pessoa

    Fernando Pessoa
    “I wasn’t meant for reality, but life came and found me.”
    Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet

  • #9
    Fernando Pessoa
    “When all by myself, I can think of all kinds of clever remarks, quick comebacks to what no one said, and flashes of witty sociability with nobody. But all of this vanishes when I face someone in the flesh: I lose my intelligence, I can no longer speak, and after half an hour I just feel tired. Talking to people makes me feel like sleeping. Only my ghostly and imaginary friends, only the conversations I have in my dreams, are genuinely real and substantial.”
    Fernando Pessoa

    Fernando Pessoa
    “If after I die, people want to write my biography, there is nothing simpler. They only need two dates: the date of my birth and the date of my death. Between one and another, every day is mine.”
    Fernando Pessoa, Poems of Fernando Pessoa

    Vera Nazarian
    “Love is made up of three unconditional properties in equal measure:

    1. Acceptance
    2. Understanding
    3. Appreciation

    Remove any one of the three and the triangle falls apart.

    Which, by the way, is something highly inadvisable. Think about it — do you really want to live in a world of only two dimensions?

    So, for the love of a triangle, please keep love whole.”
    Vera Nazarian, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration
