“Partial repetitions is another technique that I used -- sparingly. I was always a fan of doing full repetitions on every set. However, at the very end of a set where you cannot do any more, and especially if you don't have a training partner, the partial repetitions are good for eking out a little bit more out of the exercise.”

“Partially, the reason I don’t blame anybody for my problems is because I don’t think it’s particularly useful to hold others responsible for my fate or for my behaviors. But I also believe that the people who harmed me had no more control over their compulsive actions than I’ve ever had over mine. And that is nobody’s fault. We are all descended from the same confounding human bloodline, after all—every one of us born of the same long and tangled lineage of addicts and their enablers; narcissists and their prey; the mentally ill and their beleaguered civilian orderlies; abusers and their apologists; manipulators and martyrs; secrets and secret keepers; suicides and sorrows. Beautiful people, so many of them. Beautiful, talented, extraordinary people who all struggled. Beautiful, talented, extraordinary, and terrified people who were all seeking something outside of themselves that could relieve them from their interior pain. I’m just one of the lucky ones who finally found her way to the rooms of recovery.”

“Partially undermining the manufacturer's ability to assert that its work constituted a meaningful contribution to mankind was the frivolous way in which it went about marketing its products. Grief was the only rational response to the news that an employee had spent three months devising a supermarket promotion based on an offer of free stickers of cartoon characters called the Fimbles. Why had the grown-ups so churlishly abdicated their responsibilities? Were there not more important ambitions to be met before Death showed himself on the horizon in his hooded black cloak, his scythe slung over his shoulder?”

“Participant (Productions) is the only production company in town that has a double bottom line: social good plus financial returns. It's too early to tell how our returns are going to look - though all signs are promising - but social good is what we're really after.”
“Participante do seminário: Sobre a questão do ato que opera como enigma, você acha possível que um sujeito em análise possa se confrontar com algo de fora do setting, por exemplo um filme, que tenha para ele um valor de enigma e que, portanto, desencadeie uma construção em análise e se torne uma verdade?
Antonio Quinet: Claro! Porque a obra de arte está no lugar de objeto a para o sujeito. A obra que opera sobre o sujeito, que desencadeia afetos e associações, que divide e que emociona. Podemos dizer que foi a primeira coisa captada pelo primeiro livro de estética do mundo ocidental: a Poética de Aristóteles. Ao abordar a tragédia, ele percebeu a divisão subjetiva no espectador causando um misto de prazer e dor: a catarse dos afetos de terror e piedade e ao mesmo tempo o entusiasmo com a obra de arte. Para que tal objeto ou performance seja efetivamente uma obra de arte é preciso causar a divisão do sujeito. Basta reler Aristóteles com Lacan, pois uma tragédia provoca esses afetos denotando algo que tocou o real do sujeito, ou seja, causou algo que escapa ao próprio sujeito.
A obra de arte está nesse lugar de objeto a. Para o analista, é dar nó em pingo d’água estar no lugar de uma obra de arte para desencadear no sujeito suas associações e tudo o mais. Fazendo uma associação com o que você falou, Lacan propõe que a interpretação deve ser poética, deve estar no nível da poesia. E sobre seu lugar de analista, ele diz: “Não sou um poeta, sou um poema”.”

“Participants experience a 'social intimacy' and a basic 'trust' in the inclusiveness and good intentions of the other people present. Hygge cannot be achieved if there is disagreement and conflict in the group or if there is a sense of mistrust between people. Furthermore, situations characterised by hygge eschew graveness and seriousness. -Carsten Levisen”

“Participants who scored high on self-control said that they automatically went out to exercise without thinking much about it. They usually did it in the same times and places. It had become part of their routine. Once again, people high in self-control were achieving success without exerting much effort. They weren’t white-knuckling their way to being healthy. Here’s the very happy implication: the worst, most effortful run will be that first one. Or the second, perhaps. But effort doesn’t last (in fact, if it does, you’re doing it wrong). Habits will form and take the effort off your hands.”

“Participation in the collective life of the polis both restrains the extraordinary individual and enlarges the ordinary individual, allowing him to participate in the extraordinary. An individual can achieve participatory excellence via the accomplishments of the polis and need not always be caught up in the agnostic struggle to outdo his peers.”
“Participation in the dance was entirely voluntary, a mental vow to worship the Mystery in this manner being expressed by a man ardently desiring the recovery of a sick relative; or surrounded by an enemy with escape apparently impossible; or, it might be, dying of hunger … since some inscrutable power had swept all game from forest and prairie. Others joined in the ceremony in the hope and firm belief that the Mystery …would grant them successes against the enemy and consequent eminence at home.”

“Participation is bliss because the whole universe is celebrating. Every moment it is celebrating. It is a great celebration, a constant celebration. Only we are not part of it. We have detached ourselves and are in misery. Man is in misery because of the mind. The flowers are participating in the celebration, the moon is participating, the stars are participating, the earth is participating, the oceans are participating, the air and the clouds - everything is participating in that continuous, eternal celebration.”

Most people go through their lives without being hit by even one.”
“Particles to the decided mind, but look away, who makes the waves play?
Quantum ride, let's be the right type. Oh put the numbers in and let the type write.
Get the matter timed for the right life,
