Margaret Mead
“One of the most dangerous things that can happen to a child is to kill or torture an animal an get away with it.”
Margaret Mead

Hermann Hesse
“Some of us think holding on makes us strong but sometimes it is letting go”
Herman Hesse

James Joyce
“History, Stephen said, is a nightmare from which I am trying to awake.”
James Joyce, Ulysses

“We both instinctively knew never to share weakness until we understood it. 'Share only strength' was an unspoken motto between us.”
Brian Keenan, An Evil Cradling

Ernest Becker
“Too much possibility is the attempt by the person to overvalue the powers of the symbolic self. It reflects the attempt to exaggerate one half of the human dualism at the expense of the other. In this sense, what we call schizophrenia is an attempt by the symbolic self to deny the limitations of the finite body; in doing so, the entire person is pulled off balance and destroyed. It is as though the freedom of creativity that stems from within the symbolic self cannot be contained by the body, and the person is torn apart. This is how we understand schizophrenia today, as the split of self and body, a split in which the self is unanchored, unlimited, not bound enough to everyday Things, not contained enough in dependable physical behavior.”
Ernest Becker, The Denial of Death
