“Intolerance lies at the core of evil. Not the intolerance that results from any threat or danger. But intolerance of another being who dares to exist. Intolerance without cause.

To care for each other simple because that 'other' exists.”

“Intolerance of oppression, the desire to be free and develop one personality to its full limits, is not enough to make one an anarchist.

“Intonation is important, especially when it is cold.”
“Intorno, diciamo, al 1820...troviamo, specialmente in Germania, poeti e filosofi i quali dicono che la cosa più nobile che un uomo possa fare è servire a ogni costo il proprio ideale interiore...E se l'ideale fosse falso? A questo punto interviene un radicale mutamento categoriale che segna una grande rivoluzione nella storia dello spirito umano. La questione se un ideale sia vero o falso non è più ritenuta importante e anzi non è neppure del tutto intelleggibile. L'ideale si presenta nella forma di un imperativo categorico: servi la luce interiore che è in te per il fatto che arde dentro di te, e per nessun'altra ragione...
Il modello valido per l'etica e la politica è d'un tratto cambiato: si è passati dall'analogia con le scienze naturali, o con la teologia, o con una qualsivoglia forma di conoscenza o descrizione dei fatti, a qualcosa che riprende i concetti di impulso e di meta in senso biologico e li combina con quelli della creazione artistica.”

“Intoxication, like sexual euphoria, is the privilege of the human animal.”
Source: The Wanderess
“Intoxication, like sexual euphoria, is the privilege of the human animal. Sexual frenzy is our compensation for the tedious moments we must suffer in the passage of life. “Nothing in excess” professed the ancient Greeks. Why, if I spend half the month in healthy scholarship and pleasant sleep, shouldn’t I be allowed the other half to howl at the moon and pillage the groins of Europe’s great beauties?”

“Intoxication reveals the true nature of the psyche, but not the soul.”
“INTPs can also be rather slow in disclosing the true contents of their inner world. As strange as it may seem to some, INTPs conceal some of their most dominant personality features, namely, their cerebral, rational side. Indeed, it may only be a select few who are granted full access to this side of the INTP. Perhaps the best way of sampling INTPs’ inner world is through their work, such as by reading something they have written. This may explain why INTPs often take interest in writing, which provides a forum for more robust and precise self-expression.”

“INTPs can be hoarders and misers of time. Their objective is to maximize time to themselves for exploring and developing their interests. So whenever another person enters their personal space, INTPs may worry over what might happen to their cherished time. If INTPs are happy in their careers, time may be a relative non-issue, since they will have plenty of time to satisfy their Ti and Ne at work. If not, however, they may come to see their partner as a potential threat to their time and freedom.
With all that said, what would seem an admirable reason for INTPs to participate in a relationship is out of genuine interest in their partner. This would typically involve a love for his or her mind and ideas, the type of partner David Keirsey has dubbed a “mindmate.”

“INTPs can quickly locate inconsistencies or logical shortcomings in a given theory or argument. They excel in pinpointing exceptions or imagining scenarios in which a proposed explanation might breakdown. Due to their acute sensitivity to theoretical exceptions, they can be quick (sometimes too quick) to discard entire theories, throwing out the proverbial baby with the bathwater.”

“INTPs deplore doing things in standard, predefined ways. As Ti-Ne types, standardization runs against their grain. INTPs thrive on doing things their own way, developing and employing their own Ti approach. This makes them reluctant to function as employees, loathing the idea of answering to someone else. INTPs also struggle to embrace an organization’s vision and methods as their own. In many respects, they are control freaks. They want to be in full control of themselves and avoid being controlled or managed by others.”
Source: The INTP: Personality, Careers, Relationships, & the Quest for Truth and Meaning
“INTPs desperately want to know who they are, how they should live, and the sorts of things they should be doing. Similar to other IN types, INTPs see it necessary to understand themselves—their personality, interests, abilities, and values—before they can act in the world with any degree of confidence or conviction.”

“INTPs seem more inclined toward cerebral narcissism than most other types. While Vaknin sees the narcissist’s chance of recovery as relatively slim, I tend to disagree, especially for those with milder cases. In my experience, as INTPs mature and develop, their need for ego affirmation gradually diminishes and is supplanted by a healthier sense of self-worth.”

“Intr-o lume a dezordinii, a dezastrelor si a coruptiei, frumusetea ramane cateodata singurul lucru in care te poti increde. Doar excelenta in arta e incoruptibila. Placerea nu poate fi inselata. Si uneori, o masa copioasa e singura moneda reala.
Aprecierea placerii poate fi punctul de sprijin al umanitatii fiecaruia dintre noi.”

“Intrapreneurs consider them-selves on a mission to help society, to give it what it needs and wants, to truly serve others and improve themselves. Like all producers, they believe in a deep accountability, refuse to assign blame, don't believe in failure, and give their heart and sould to truly serve the customer and benefit society.”
“Intrapreneurs work and lead with the Producer mindset. They run their department, team, or company with an abundance mentality, an attachment to true principles, and a fearless and informed faith in people and quality.”

“Intrepidity is an extraordinary strength of soul, which raises it above the troubles, disorders and emotions which the sight of great perils can arouse in it; by this strength heroes maintain a calm aspect and preserve their reason and liberty in the most surprising and terrible accidents.”

“intricately and intriguingly woven, lots of fun, and extremely thought provoking.”
“Intricately connected to the restructuring of relations of production, neoliberalism has also entailed the restructuring of social reproduction in ways that have rendered it increasingly insecure for particular sectors of the population. In the US, Canada and the UK, the move from welfare to ‘workfare’ states is particularly relevant, though other cutbacks to government services, the hollowing out of public housing, the restructuring of pension plans in ways that render them increasingly dependent on global financial markets and the imposition of austerity measures (especially in Europe) post-2008 are all key moves that have contributed to the ‘reprivatization of social reproduction’. The latter refers to the ways in which the decline in social forms of provisioning in most OECD countries over the past several decades has resulted in an increase in the amount of work done by families, particularly by women, and/or the private sector.”
