“But you have to look at your work with an honest critical eye. Work on the things that you need work on. Scare yourself. Surprise yourself.

“But the others, those who tried to bring Jesus to life at the call of love, found it a cruel task to be honest. The critical study of the life of Jesus has been for theology a school of honesty. The world had never seen before, and will never see again, a struggle for truth so full of pain and renunciation as that of which the Lives of Jesus of the last hundred years contain the cryptic record.” WorldYearsHas BeensSchoolPainLastsFoundJesusStruggleStudyRecordsAtheismHonestHonestyHundredTasksCriticalPositive AtheismTheologyBeing HonestRenunciationCryptic Author:Albert Schweitzer

“The hunger [to success] is the same, no matter what it is that you're doing. It's like an unquenchable thirst to learn more, or to feel like you could have done more, and to be brutally honest and self critical, which is very hard to do. It's easy, and human nature is to just blame somebody else. It's very, very hard to self assess.” FeelsHumansSelfMatterHardDoneEasyHonestHuman NatureLike YouNo Matter WhatBlameHungerCriticalThirstBrutally Honest Author:Kobe Bryant

“I should think that many of our poets, the honest ones, will confess to having no manifesto. It is a painful confession but the art of poetry carries its own powers without having to break them down into critical listings. I do not mean that poetry should be raffish and irresponsible clown tossing off words into the void. But the very feeling of a good poem carries its own reason for being... Art is its own excuse, and it’s either Art or it’s something else. It’s either a poem or a piece of cheese.” ThinkingShouldMeanArtReasonFeelingsBreakPiecesHonestPoetArt IsPainfulExcuseCriticalCarrieVoidConfessionCheeseClownIrresponsibleManifestos Book:On Writing Source: On Writing

“In an election like this one [in 2016], not only are voters dissatisfied, but where the foundations of our economy, our democracy, our ecosystem, and international war and peace are really crumbling and are really at grave risk for failing in many ways, we need desperately to have an honest public conversation about both the track record of where we've been, what are the critical problems we are facing and what it will take to solve them.” WayNeedsWarProblemEconomyDemocracyRecordsFailingRiskHonestConversationElectionFoundationInternationalTrackSolveCriticalGravesVotersEcosystemsDissatisfiedCrumblingTrack Record Author:Jill Stein
