Psychology

“The longest journey is the journey inwards of him who has chosen his destiny.”

-Dag Hammarskjöld

“A mind is healthy to the extent that its method of functioning is such as to provide man with the control over reality that the support and furtherance of his life require. The hallmark of this control is self-esteem.”

-Nathaniel Branden

“Emotions refer to the internal states of consciousness. Negative emotions like sadness, fear, anxiety, or boredom produce ‘psychic entropy’ in the mind, that is, a state in which we cannot use attention effectively to deal with external tasks, because we need it to restore an inner subjective order. Positive emotions like happiness, strength, or alertness are states of ‘psychic negentropy’ because we don’t need attention to ruminate and feel sorry for ourselves, and psychic energy can flow freely into whatever thought or task we choose to invest it in.”

-Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

“The feeling of unworthiness in a man, as if by law, poisons all without so that, eventually, life itself seems unworthy of living.”

“Excess on occasion is exhilarating. It prevents moderation from acquiring the deadening effect of a habit.”

-W. Somerset Maugham

“Rule your mind or it will rule you.”

-Horace

“Nothing is at last sacred except the integrity of your own mind.”

-Ralph Waldo Emerson
