“Adele doesn't need any ironic detachment. She can love and appreciate the talent of others without feeling threatened herself. This is often very hard for people. We usually worry that someone else's talent or success is being compared with our own so we take the role of a critic and evaluate people harshly in order to protect our own egos. People like Adele focus on what they like and they ignore the comparisons. Plus, they let the people around them know when they found something that they love about their work or their art.”

“In de totalitaire dictaturen van de twintigste eeuw gebeurt er namelijk iets met de mens dat in zijn geschiedenis tot dusver zonder weerga is: de totalitaire taal, of zoals Orwell het noemt, de 'newspeak' , dringt met behulp van een goed gedoseerde dynamiek van geweld en angst onherroepelijk door in het bewustzijn van de individuele mens en sluit hemzelf daar langzaam buiten; hij heeft dus geen toegang meer tot zijn eigen innerlijk leven. Hij identificeert zich steeds meer met de hem toebedeelde of opgedrongen rol, of die nu bij zijn persoonlijkheid past of niet. Bovendien is de volledige acceptatie van die rol, die functie, zijn enige overlevingskans. Maar op deze wijze wordt ook zijn persoonlijkheid volledig vernietigd, en als hij er werkelijk in slaagt te overleven, zal het waarschijnlijk lang duren tot hij ertoe in staat is -zo hij dat ooit zal zijn- om de geloofwaardige, persoonlijke taal terug te veroveren waarin hij zijn tragedie kan vertellen. Wellicht komt hij er dan achter dat die tragedie niet te vertellen valt.”

“Those who like to interpret historical facts symbolically may recognize in this the spirit of a specifically "modern" conception of the world which permits the subject to assert itself against the object as something independent and equal; whereas classical antiquity did not as yet permit the explicit formulation of this contrast; and whereas the Middle Ages believed the subject as well as the object to be submerged in a higher unity.”

“When your focus is on how you feel about things in the world then the things of the world slip from view, your little boat of learning things for what they are are swamped by the swells of how you feel about them. With hard work and with learning, the things of the world are still somehow out there, waiting for you to know about them, no matter how you feel. They survive how you feel about them and they are there before and after the storms of your feelings roar through and abate. Feelings aren't much of a compass to go by.”

“If you are going to judge others it is wisest to do so individually not collectively and on your own direct experience of them personally. But first - and throughout - examine yourself closely. Blurred vision can often occur due to the lens, perspective and perceptions of the viewer projected onto the object that it sees. Be wary of taking to the judges seat. Above all meet at treat yourself and everyone else mindfully, compassionately with humanity.”
