“Among these widely differing families of men, the first that attracts attention, the superior in intelligence, in power, and in enjoyment, is the white, or European, the MAN pre-eminently so called, below him appear the Negro and the Indian.” MenFirstsWhiteAttentionHe ManSuperiorsIndianEnjoyment Book:Democracy in America Source: Democracy in America
“Certainly, historically, there has been more attention given in the international media to Indian English-language writers than to Pakistani English-language writers.

“A lot of my clients say they don't deserve to mope about their sad little memories while children are starving in India. I say that just because your broken arm isn't as serious as someone else's gut wound, that doesn't mean your injury isn't excruciating or doesn't require attention. If you want to help the Indian children, or make the world a better place in any other way, you have to start by becoming whole yourself.” IfsWorldWayWantMeanChildrenLittlesSelfWholeHelpingMemoriesAttentionSeriousBrokenArmsBecomingDeserveIndiaWoundsIndianInjuryGutsClientsBetter PlaceStarvingBecoming Whole Book:Finding Your Own North Star: Claiming the Life You Were Meant to Live Source: Finding Your Own North Star: Claiming the Life You Were Meant to Live
“When a Pueblo Indian does not feel in the right mood, he stays away from the men's council. When an ancient Roman stumbled on the threshold as he left the house, he gave up his plans for the day. This seems to us senseless, but under primitive conditions of life such an omen inclines one at least to be cautious. When I am not in full control of myself, my bodily movements may be under a certain constraint; my attention is easily distracted; I am somewhat absent-minded. As a result I knock against something, stumble, let something fall, or forget something.” MenFeelsMayDoeSeemsCertainFallHouseLeftForgetResultsAttentionPlansConditionsMovementAncientMoodIndianPrimitiveCouncilDistractedAbsentConstraintsCautiousGave UpThresholdInclineOmenBe CautiousAbsent Minded Author:Carl Jung
