“Only--but this is rare--
When a beloved hand is laid in ours,
When, jaded with the rush and glare
Of the interminable hours,
Our eyes can in another's eyes read clear,
When our world-deafen'd ear
Is by the tones of a loved voice caress'd--
A bolt is shot back somewhere in our breast,
And a lost pulse of feeling stirs again.
The eye sinks inward, and the heart lies plain,
And what we mean, we say, and what we would, we know.
A man becomes aware of his life's flow,
And hears its winding murmur; and he sees
The meadows where it glides, the sun, the breeze.”

“Ono što ponekad vidimo, što nam otkupi i ukrade poglede, ne predstavlja istinit odraz, već samo viziju, čudnovatu fatamorganu lepote. Prava vrednost je duša, u njoj je skrivena naša spoljašnjost, naš sjaj, koji nekako nikad ne bledi, ne nestaje, dar od Boga koji, istaknut na pravi način, premašuje vidljivo i govori nam o slepilu površnosti. Uvek treba zaviriti u dušu, jer je u njoj, duboko, poput lavirinta, skrivena naša istinska lepota, naš žar, vatra i savršenstvo.”

“Ono što vidimo daje nam iskustvo, a ono što čitamo daje nam nauku i znanje. Prva tajna uspjeha je poduprijeti iskustvo znanjem, ili ojačati znanje iskustvima. Eto, zbog toga je svakom čovjeku potrebno čitanje. Međutim, stizanje razuma do željenog savršenstva zavisi od shvaćanja onoga što se čita.”

“Onog trenutka kad sindikatima najvažnija aktivnost postane pravljenje kompromisa, zarad očuvanja radnih mesta unutar „nove realnosti“, oni sami postaju mehanizmi za smanjivanje očekivanja i disciplinovanje neposluš- nog radništva. U takvoj situaciji ujedno se zatvaraju i svi prostori za razmatranje alternativa; kompromisi postaju jedina alternativa gubitku posla, a mobilizacija članstva kanališe se u zahtevima za osnaživanje korporacija (kroz davanje podrške državnim subvencijama), umesto da dovodi u pitanje korporativnu moć. Ukoliko zanemarimo povremene izlete u radikalnu retoriku, sindikalne vođe su prečesto igrale uznemirujuće veliku ulogu u navikavanju radništva na prihvatanje ograničenja nametnutih pritiscima konkurentnosti.”

“Ons is geneig om te soek na bewyse wat ons angstigheid regverdig. Ons doen dit, dikwels onbewustelik, deur die stories wat ons vrese bevestig ernstig op te neem, en dié wat die teendeel bewys met agterdog te beluister.
Onbekend is onbemind. Die enigste teenvoeter vir groeiende vooroordele en die vrese wat daarmee saamgaan, is dat ons dit doelbewus nader aan mekaar waag, en dat ons leer om met ons ore te luister en nie met ons ego’s nie.”

“Onstage, Hendrix was trying to get a young couple to engage in a dialogue sequence. The pair sat in armchairs facing each other, and Hendrix old the man, Michael, to pay his wife of three months, Tara, a compliment.
'What I appreciate most about you is that you're a good cook,' Michael said.
'So what I'm hearing you saying is that you appreciate that I'm a good cook,' Tara said, She seemed bored.
To prompt Michael, Hendrix began, 'When I think about you as a good cook, I feel--'
'When I think about you as a good cook,' Michael said, 'I feel full, sleepy, and-- sexy.'
'Really?' asked Tara, a little annoyed. The woman sitting next to me groaned.
Hendrix jumped in, 'When I think about you as a good cook, it reminds me of... try to find something from your childhood.'
'When I think about you as a good cook, I--' Michael stopped, then started over. 'When the house smells good, it reminds me of home and when my mom cooked and I feel loved.'
Tara repeated him, her eyes now glassy with affection. Unprompted, she spoke the next line in the sequence: 'Is there anything more to that?' There wasn't. They hugged for sixty seconds as the rest of us watched. Hendrix told the crowd that the length of the average hug is three to nine seconds, but that a good hug, one that 'pushes the boundaries of relationship,' takes a whole minute.”
