Irvin D. Yalom
“Ask yourself, 'Who are the secure ones, the comfortable, the eternally cheerful?' I'll tell you the answer: only those with dull vision-the common people and the children”
Irvin D. Yalom, When Nietzsche Wept

Henri J.M. Nouwen
“Gratitude in its deepest sense means to live life as a gift to be received thankfully. And true gratitude embraces all of life: the good and the bad, the joyful and the painful, the holy and the not-so-holy. We do this because we become aware of God’s life, God’s presence in the middle of all that happens.”
Henri J.M. Nouwen, Turn My Mourning into Dancing: Finding Hope in Hard Times

Martin Luther King Jr.
“But I am also concerned about our moral uprightness and the health of our souls. Therefore I must oppose any attempt to gain our freedom by the methods of malice, hate, and violence that have characterized our oppressors. Hate is just as injurious to the hater as it is to the hated. Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Many of our inner conflicts are rooted in hate. This is why psychiatrists say, “Love or perish.” Hate is too great a burden to bear.”
Martin Luther King Jr., The Autobiography of Martin Luther King, Jr.

Václav Havel
“Truth must be integrated with love; morality is not whole without it. Love is the greatest strength of the powerless. Unity founded on love will never be coercion; power guided by love will never be violence. Love is all-powerful and will even overcome hatred. And only love can do this!”
Václav Havel, The Power of the Powerless: Citizens Against the State in Central-Eastern Europe

Irvin D. Yalom
“It’s no great mystery. If no one will listen, it’s only natural to shout!”
Irvin D. Yalom, When Nietzsche Wept: A Novel Of Obsession
