“Man grows used to everything, the scoundrel!”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment

“This is what anxiety does to the human being: it disorients him, wiping out temporarily his clear knowledge of what and who he is, and blurring his view of reality around him.”
― Rollo May, Man's Search for Himself

“Man, furthermore, must make his choices as an individual, for individuality is one side of one’s consciousness of one’s self. We can see this point clearly when we realize that consciousness of one’s self is always a unique act—I can never know exactly how you see yourself and you never can know exactly how I relate to myself. This is the inner sanctum where each man must stand alone. This fact makes for much of the tragedy and inescapable isolation in human life, but it also indicates again that we must find the strength in ourselves to stand in our own inner sanctum as individuals.”
― Rollo May, Man's Search for Himself

“Tell me, Francis, do you buy your one-liners wholesale? Only they’re well past their sell-by.”
