M. Scott Peck
“If we know exactly where we're going, exactly how to get there, and exactly what we'll see along the way, we won't learn anything. ”
Scott Peck

M. Scott Peck
“The problem of unmet expectations in marriage is primarily a problem of stereotyping. Each and every human being on this planet is a unique person. Since marriage is inevitably a relationship between two unique people, no one marriage is going to be exactly like any other. Yet we tend to wed with explicit visions of what a “good” marriage ought to be like. Then we suffer enormously from trying to force the relationship to fit the stereotype and from the neurotic guilt and anger we experience when we fail to pull it off.”
M. Scott Peck, In Search of Stones : A Pilgrimage of Faith, Reason and Discovery

C.G. Jung
“Life is a battleground. It always has been, and always will be; and if it were not so, existence would come to an end.”
C.G. Jung, Man and His Symbols

Miyamoto Musashi
“there is nothing outside of yourself that can ever enable you to get better, stronger, richer, quicker, or smarter. Everything is within. Everything exists. Seek nothing outside of yourself.”
Miyamoto Musashi, The Book of Five Rings

Erich Fromm
“The frightened individual seeks for somebody or something to tie his self to; he cannot bear to be his own individual self any longer, and he tries frantically to get rid of it and to feel security again by the elimination of this burden: the self.”
Erich Fromm, Escape from Freedom
