we can begin to believe that life is something we try to endure, rather than something we still have the opportunity to live to the fullest

Isaac Asimov
“Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.”
Isaac Asimov, Foundation

Brennan Manning
“Whenever I allow anything but tenderness and compassion to dictate my response to life--be it self-righteous anger, moralizing, defensiveness, the pressing need to change others...I am alienated from my true self. My identity as Abba's child [a child of God] becomes ambiguous, tentative and confused”
Brennan Manning, The Ragamuffin Gospel

Frank Herbert
“Whether a thought is spoken or not it is a real thing and it has power," Tuek said. "You might find the line between life and death among the Fremen to be too sharp and quick.”
Frank Herbert, Dune

Isaac Asimov
“I wanted to be a psychological engineer, but we lacked the facilities, so I did the next best thing - I went into politics. It's practically the same thing.”
Isaac Asimov, Foundation

Dalai Lama XIV
“How do we create more friends?” he now asked rhetorically. “Trust. How do you develop trust? It’s simple: You show your genuine sense of concern for their well-being. Then trust will come. But if behind an artificial smile, or a big banquet, is a self-centered attitude deep inside of you, then there will never be trust. If you are thinking how to exploit, how to take advantage of them, then you can never develop trust in others. Without trust, there is no friendship. We human beings are social animals, as we’ve said, and we need friends. Genuine friends. Friends for money, friends for power are artificial friends.”
Dalai Lama XIV, The Book of Joy: Lasting Happiness in a Changing World
