“Defined simply, narcissism means excessive self-preoccupation; pragmatism means excessive focus on work, achievement, and the practical concerns of life; and restlessness means an excessive greed for experience, an overeating, not in terms of food but in terms of trying to drink in too much of life...And constancy of all three together account for the fact that we are so habitually self-absorbed by heartaches, headaches, and greed for experience that we rarely find the time and space to be in touch with the deeper movements inside of and around us.”

“Definición de estupidez: conocer la verdad, ver la verdad, estar seguro de la verdad, pero aún así creerse todas las mentiras. Llámalo amor incondicional, el sueño de tu vida, la razón de tu existencia, pero, por favor y por decoro y respeto a ti mismo, no lo llames verdad.”

Es para recalcar esto que Abu-Yaqub al-Susi, citado en Taarruf, de Kalabadhi, declara que el Sufi es “alguien que no se preocupa cuando le quitan algo, pero que no cesa de buscar lo que no tiene.”

“Defining a job candidate who is a "cultural fit" is about the person being open minded, looks for the positive in others and knowing that life is too short to focus on differences. When interviewing someone, I ask them to describe something they are proud of and why. The best answers are a challenge they overcame using a unique approach.”
“Defining and analyzing humor is a pastime of humorless people.”
“Defining and celebrating the New Father are by far the most popular ideas in our contemporary discourse on fatherhood. Father as close and nurturing, not distant and authoritarian. Fatherhood as more than bread winning. Fatherhood as new-and-improved masculinity. Fathers unafraid of feelings. Fathers without sexism. Fatherhood as fifty-fifty parenthood, undistorted by arbitrary gender divisions or stifling social roles.”

“Defining freedom cannot amount to simply substituting it with inclusion. Countering the criminalization of Black girls requires fundamentally altering the relationship between Black girls and the institutions of power that have worked to reinforce their subjugation. History has taught us that civil rights are but one component of a larger movement for this type of social transformation. Civil rights may be at the core of equal justice movements, and they may elevate an equity agenda that protects our children from racial and gender discrimination, but they do not have the capacity to fully redistribute power and eradicate racial inequity. There is only one practice that can do that. Love.”

“Defining landed, administrative, and political elites:
Perhaps the essential element in the definition of whom to include is a matter of allowing the individuals to select themselves for analysis through their frequent involvement in local political structures (p. 103).
…the greatest gentry landowners comprised the elite of landed society–the pool from which participants in administrative society were recruited. Those who held the most county offices were the most important and influential–comprising the elite of administrative society. Although there will have been exceptions, in general, the greatest gentry landowners also held the most shire posts, so landed and administrative elites were almost synonymous. The political elite would therefore be virtually the same as the administrative elite (p. 106).
…the ‘political elite’ was in total 347 individuals (82 peers; 265 gentry). There were a number of individuals who served in all the region’s counties therefore comprising what could be termed a ‘regional elite’: these totalled 35 individuals (14 peers; 21 gentry). (pp. 106–7) …in reality, ‘regional’ figures common to all counties were few in number, and were mostly peers (pp. 107–8).”

“Defining myself, as opposed to being defined by others, is one of the most difficult challenges I face.”
“Defining one's true self is not so simple. It may be impossible. We inhabit many different versions of a changing self. The suggestion to "be yourself" may be too general to be of much use.
There's being yourself as an artist, being yourself with your family, being yourself at work, and being yourself with friends. Being yourself in times of crisis, or in times of peace. And being yourself for yourself when by yourself.”

“Defining various disciplines is a form of creative restraint, binding down natural, outbranching development.
The concept of philosophy is broad. A great many ideas can be found within the love of seeking. It's intended meaning should be synonymous with curiosity. Before the rise of specific fields such as medicine, [in the mediterannean] medicine was a branch stretching around theology and philosophy. The 'love of uncovering' gives birth to specialization and that same force continues in every branch with the same or similar intensity as in the roots and the stem.
A tree should not be restrained, limited, heavily defined. Let it grow freely, unrestrained, limitless, without weight.
Curiosity, is not a field - it may lead to new fields, or improvements therein.
It's not much different from saying a woman should be [exactly] in this way, a man in that way, or a child in this way. It leads to creative authoritarianism, and is a threat to the free growth, cooperation and expansion of various fields.
It's not always necessary to set things in stone.”

“Defining yourself by your taste is easier than defining yourself by any genuine stance on something.”
“Defining yourself in terms of how you rank is always dangerous and ultimately immature. It doesn't matter whether the rank has to do with your grades, your weight or where you finished in the 800 meter race. Becoming a mature adult means, among other things, that you define yourself relative to your own potential, not relative somebody else's standard.”
