“Thriving isn't about making life comfortable, fun and happy; it's about finding purpose and making our own unique contribution.”
Malcolm Stern, Slay Your Dragons With Compassion: Ten Ways to Thrive Even When It Feels Impossible

“I am relatively certain that religious faith alone doesn't prevent hallucinations because many patients try to save themselves by their faith. Observation would suggest useful social acts (charity) would come closer to preventing schizophrenia.”
Wilson Van Dusen, The Presence of Spirits in Madness

“Eating well. Exercising well. Sleeping well and loving generously. All of these things slow us down and bring us stillness, revealing and enabling this wise part of ourselves.”
Malcolm Stern, Slay Your Dragons With Compassion: Ten Ways to Thrive Even When It Feels Impossible

“When we ignore our radar we have to shut out its voice. Our minds become busy and distracted - we may compulsively perform mind-numbing activities such as computer games, gambling and gorging ourselves with sugary delights to the extent that they eat into our time in an unhealthy way, make us stay up late, or stop us from carrying out our essential tasks.”
Malcolm Stern, Slay Your Dragons With Compassion: Ten Ways to Thrive Even When It Feels Impossible

“We shall see that magic does not deny truth, it positively embraces truth as a crutch to assist belief, but it equall embraces falsehood - and that makes it unacceptable in scientific culture. Magic embraces goodness, but it also embraces evil - and that makes it disreputable in religious eyes. Magic embraces beauty and it also embraces ugliness - and that can make it seem kitsch or 'cheesy' in artistic eyes.”
Lionel Snell, My Years of Magical Thinking
