“I'm so happy that I finished college. Going into this crazy vortex of scrutiny is tough. If I was younger than I was now and I was going to fashion shows, I might have this distorted sense of self.

“It is a fact perhaps kept a little too much in the background, that mothers have a self larger than their maternity, and that when their sons have become taller than themselves, and are gone from them to college or into the world, there are wide spaces of their time which are not filled with praying for their boys, reading old letters, and envying yet blessing those who are attending to their shirt-buttons.” WorldLittlesSelfFactsMotherReadingSpaceBoysGoneToo MuchCollegeSonPrayingBlessingLettersFilledWideBackgroundsShirtsButtonsAttendingMaternityOld Letters Book:Delphi Complete Works of George Eliot (Illustrated) Source: Delphi Complete Works of George Eliot (Illustrated)
“The image the Republicans have of themselves needs the image they have of the Democrats to bring it into sharp focus. The Democrats are plainly a disreputable crowd; the Republicans, by contrast, are men of standing and sobriety. Many a middle-class American in many a small town has had to explain painfully why he chose to be a Democrat. No middle-class American need feel uneasy as a Republican. Even when he is a minority--for example, among the heathen on a college campus--he can, like any white, Anglo-Saxon Protestant, warm himself before his little fire of self-esteem.” MenNeedsFeelsLittlesSelfWhiteClassFireFocusMiddleSelf EsteemExampleCollegeRepublicanStandingTownsDemocratCrowdsWarmEsteemMinoritiesMiddle ClassContrastSmall TownProtestantsSobrietyCampusUneasyHeathenAnglo SaxonCollege Campus Author:Clinton Rossiter

“From the 5th grade through the 4th year of college, our young people are being indoctrinated with a Marxist philosophy and I am fearful of the harvest. The younger generation is further to the left than most adults realize. The old concepts of our Founding Fathers are scoffed and jeered at by young moderns whose goals appear to be the destruction of integrity and virtue, and the glorification of pleasure, thrills, and self-indulgence.” PeopleYearsSelfPhilosophyYoungFatherLeftGoalRealizingPleasureVirtueGenerationsCollegeIntegrityConceptsAdultsDestructionGradesFearfulHarvestFoundingIndulgenceOur Founding FathersMarxistYounger GenerationSelf IndulgenceGlorification Author:Ezra Taft Benson

“Later, I would realize that the position of most black students in predominantly white colleges was already too tenuous, our identities too scrambled, to admit to ourselves that our black pride remained incomplete. And to admit our doubt and confusion to whites, to open up our psyches to general examination by those who had caused so much of the damage in the first place, seemed ludicrous, itself an expression of self-hatred - for there seemed no reason to expect that whites would look at our private struggles as a mirror into their own souls, rather than yet more evidence of black pathology.” FirstsLooksSoulSelfReasonBlackRealizingWhiteStruggleDoubtIdentityPositionStudentsCollegeExpressionPrideEvidenceHatredMirrorsConfusionDamageNo ReasonExaminationIncompleteSelf HatredPathologyPsychBlack Pride Author:Barack Obama

“The experiencing self lives in the moment; it is the one that answers the question, 'Does it hurt?' or 'What were you thinking about just now?'
