“Sensitivity to nature is not an innate attribute of indigenous peoples. It is a consequence of adaptive choices that have resulted in the development of highly specialized peripheral skills. but those choices in turn spring from a comprehensive view of nature and the universe in which man and woman are perceived as but elements inextricably linked to the whole.”

“Senso di colpa e vergogna sono considerati gemelli, ma, dei due, il fratello buono è il primo. E lo è perché si concentra sulle nostre azioni, per le quali possiamo provare rimorso e rimpianto. Chi si sente in colpa per qualcosa che ha commesso prova il desiderio di scusarsi o comunque di cancellare o correggere il gesto che gli ha ispirato quei sentimenti. La vergogna, invece, non è provocata dalle nostre azioni, ma da ciò che siamo. Chi si vergogna si sente indegno: non prova orrore per quello ha fatto, ma per se stesso. Il senso di colpa chiede di modificare un comportamento, la vergogna chiede di modificare una parte del nostro Io. La «vergogna che soffoca l’anima», come la definì Coleridge, è una cosa davvero triste: è più dolorosa della colpa e chi ne soffre ha difficoltà a parlarne. Significa sentirsi meschino, inferiore e disapprovato dagli altri. Il senso di colpa vuol fare ammenda, la vergogna vuol nascondersi.”

“Sensory deprivation has a devastating psychological impact and can lead to the complete dissolution of the personality accompanied by hallucinations, delusional thinking and general incoherence. It is presently acknowledged as a form of torture; in fact, it is one of a group of “enhanced techniques” that are entirely psychological in nature and unique in that they do not conform to the general public understanding of what torture is.”

“Sensory experience does not offset the intense pain or pleasure we feel on a mental level; it may distract us, but doesn't overcome it. On the other hand, if we have peace of mind, even negative experiences do not upset us. Peace of mind is also good for our physical health. Medical experts have found that anger, hatred and fear eat into our immune system. Being calm and relaxed is better for our physical well-being.”

“Sensual indulgence weakens the mind and debases the soul. The moral and intellectual powers are benumbed and paralyzed by the gratification of the animal propensities and it is impossible for the slave of passion to realize the sacred obligation of the Law of God, to appreciate the atonement, or to place right value upon the soul.”
