C.S. Lewis
“Experience: that most brutal of teachers. But you learn, my God do you learn.”
― C.S. Lewis

C.G. Jung
“The more that consciousness is influenced by prejudices, errors, fantasies, and infantile wishes, the more the already existing gap will widen into a neurotic dissociation and lead to a more or less artificial life far removed from healthy instincts, nature, and truth.”
― C.G. Jung, Man and His Symbols

Dale Carnegie
“Plato said that “the greatest mistake physicians make is that they attempt to cure the body without attempting to cure the mind; yet the mind and body are one and should not be treated separately”!”
― Dale Carnegie, How To Stop Worrying & Start Living

Stacy Schiff
“There were three possibilities for the future, predicted an exasperated Cicero, “endless armed conflict, eventual revival after a peace, and complete annihilation.”
― Stacy Schiff, Cleopatra

Eckhart Tolle
“One thing we do know: Life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness. How do you know this is the experience you need? Because this is the experience you are having at this moment.”
― Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose
