“There is, indeed, a most dangerous passage in the history of a democratic people. When the taste for physical gratifications among them has grown more rapidly than their education and their experience of free institutions, the time will come when men are carried away and lose all self-restraint at the sight of new possessions they are about to obtain. In their intense and exclusive anxiety to make a fortune they lose sight of the close connection that exists between the private fortune of each and the prosperity of all.” PeopleMenSelfLosesDangerousTasteAnxietyConnectionsSightInstitutionsFortuneDemocraticProsperityPossessionIntensePassagesConsumerismRestraintExclusiveGratificationOverconsumptionCarried AwaySelf Restraint Author:Alexis de Tocqueville

“When I went through a really intense break-up - you know, I was engaged - the thing that gave me the most anxiety was not knowing what to do with myself when Disney wasn't there to carry me anymore or if I didn't have him. And now I'm FREE of both of those things and I'm fine. I lay in bed at night by myself and I'm totally OK and that's so much stronger than the person three years ago, who would have thought they would have died if they didn't have a boyfriend.” IfsKnowsYearsPersonsNightThreeBreakKnowingFineBedAnxietyYears AgoDiedStrongerLaysIntenseEngagedThree YearsNot KnowingKnowing What To Do Author:Miley Cyrus
“For years my life alternated between depression and acute anxiety. One night I woke up in a state of dread and intense fear, more intense than I had ever experienced before.

“What came out of that was an intense obsession with status anxiety. So much of these portraits are about fashioning oneself into the image of perfection that ruled the day in the 18th and 19th centuries.

“Silence is difficult and arduous; it is not to be played with. It isn't something that you can experience by reading a book, or by listening to a talk, or by sitting together, or by retiring into a wood or a monastery. I am afraid none of these things will bring about this silence. This silence demands intense psychological work. You have to be burningly aware - aware of your speech, aware of your snobbishness, aware of your fears, your anxieties, your sense of guilt. And when you die to all that, then out of that dying comes the beauty of silence.” BookTogetherDiesReadingDifficultSilenceDyingListeningDemandAnxietySittingGuiltWoodsIntensePsychologicalRetiringSilence IsMonasteriesSnobbishnessSitting Together Author:Jiddu Krishnamurti
