Quote by Erik Pevernagie

“If we firmly decide to make our own choices that define our existence and admit withstanding “bad faith” and self-deception, we need not be afraid of jeopardizing our existential freedom and authentic being. ("Drunken sailor")”

“Non aveva bisogno di te come eri, ma di te come saresti potuta essere, oggetto d'arte più che d'amore, da sognare e prosciugare per la sua ispirazione. Sulla sua lapide volle queste parole: "Qui giace colui il cui nome fu scritto nell'acqua". Non si può amare un uomo che fugge ogni forma di solidificazione e gravità, per lui l'amore era solo la sua sete d'amore.”

“So long as self-deception is at the source of a person’s perception of things he or she cannot mature into the fullness of being human or lead a successful course through life. In Pinocchio, the physiological metaphor of hunger represents the many other passions and desires that lead children astray. Like all small children, Pinocchio is often driven by uncontrollable hunger. This gets him into much of his early trouble, while undisciplined passions and wanderlust eventually land him in the false paradise of Playand. But Pinocchio’s longing to be a real boy with a mother and father lies deeper still and is the source of his eventual salvation.”

“What I like about experience is that it is such an honest thing. You may number of wrong turnings; but keep your eyes open and you will not be allowed to go very far before the warning signs appear. You may have deceived yourself, but experience is not trying to deceive you. The universe rings true wherever you fairly test it.”
