“Self-discipline is often disguised as short-term pain, which often leads to long-term gains. The mistake many of us make is the need and want for short-term gains (immediate gratification), which often leads to long-term pain.”
Charles F. Glassman, Brain Drain - The Breakthrough That Will Change Your Life

Brad Blanton
“The stress that kills or cripples most of the population comes from people being too hard on themselves when they don't live up to their own imaginings about how other people think they should behave.”
Brad Blanton, Radical Honesty: How to Transform Your Life by Telling the Truth

Thomas  Harris
“Occasionally, on purpose, Dr. Lecter drops a teacup to shatter on the floor. He is satisfied when it does not gather itself together. For many months now, he has not seen Mischa in his dreams. Someday perhaps a cup will come together. Or Somewhere Starling may hear a crossbow string and come to some unwilled awakening, if indeed she even sleeps.
We'll withdraw now, while they are dancing on the terrace-- the wise Barney has already left town and we must follow is example. For either of them to discover us would be fatal.

We can only learn so much and live.”
Thomas Harris, Hannibal

Thomas  Harris
“It's easy to mistake understanding for empathy - we want empathy so badly. Maybe learning to make that distinction is part of growing up. It's hard and ugly to know somebody can understand you without even liking you.”
Thomas Harris, Hannibal

Thomas  Harris
“She was charming way a cub is charming, a small cub that will grow up to be like one of the big cats. One you can't play with later”
Thomas Harris, Hannibal
