“So who is better off, those who share love long enough to see which parts inevitably fade or those who lose their love when it is still pristine? I think each is lonely in a different place, though if you lose your love while it is still perfect you at least have a clear explanation for your grief, while if it gradually crumbles in your hands you do not.” IfsThinkingLongStillsDifferentEnoughHandsLosesPerfectGriefClearShareLonelyExplanationFadesBetter OffDifferent PlacePristine Book:Losing Julia Source: Losing Julia
“When I came back from Pakistan, I wanted to take computer classes nearby. I asked my brother. I was in my home, cooking for my family, and all our relatives and guests.

“Although a person acting under authority performs actions that seem to violate standards of conscience, it would not be true to say that he loses his moral sense. Instead, it acquires a radically different focus. He does not respond with a moral sentiment to the actions he performs. Rather, his moral concern now shifts to a consideration of how well he is living up to the expectations that the authority has of him.” WellsPersonsDoeDifferentSeemsActionLosesActingMoralFocusAuthorityStandardsExpectationsConscienceConcernBeing TrueAcquireConsiderationSentiments Author:Stanley Milgram
“I think that the scienti?c way of looking at the world, and the humanistic way of looking at the world are complementary. There are important differences which should be preserved, and in trying to do away with those differences we would lose something the same way as if we tried to make all religions one religion or all races one race.
