“Antonio Gramsci said that social reformers should have pessimism of the intellect and optimism of the will.

“The artist must operate on the assumption that the public consists in the highest order of individual; that he is civilized, cultured, and highly sensitive both to emotional and intellectual contexts. And while the whole public most certainly does not consist in that sort of individual, still the tendency of art is to create such a public - to lift the level of perceptivity, to increase and enrich the average individual's store of values...

“Everybody knows what they were kind of drawn towards or what they're gifted at and it's more of courage and looking at yourself and saying, "I'm going to try something and move back in that direction." So it's less of an intellectual problem and it's more of an emotional problem because as you get into your 30's and 40's you get addicted to a paycheck and a comfort and you delude yourself into thinking this is what my life is and you lack the guts to be honest with yourself and to make that change.” ThinkingKnowsTryingKindProblemMovingLife IsHonestEmotionalComfortIntellectualBeing HonestGutsGiftedPaychecksHonest With YourselfBe Honest With YourselfEmotional Problems Author:Robert Greene

“The process of inner self-examination brings about a knowledge that is as rigorous and supported by evidence as anything science has to offer. At the same time, this point of view redefines faith as a knowledge that is attained not only by intellectual means, but also through the rigorous development of the emotional side of the human psyche. Such emotional knowledge is unknown to the isolated intellect and has therefore been mistakenly labeled as "irrational."” MeanEmotionalIntellectualEvidenceIntellectPoint Of ViewIrrationalInner Self Author:Jacob Needleman
