“The $50 note trick - ask who wants it even after stomping on it - moral is, no matter what we do to it it is still worth $50. We as human beings never lose our value either despite feeling down, flat or worthless at times.” WantHumansStillsMatterFeelingsValuesAsksLosesHuman BeingsMoralNo Matter WhatNotesTricksDespiteFlatsWorthlessFeeling DownStomping Author:John C.

“The mediocre mind has no capacity for understanding. It is stuck somewhere near thirteen years in its mental age, or even below it. The person may be forty, fifty, seventy years old - that does not matter, that is the physical age. He has been growing old, but he has not been growing up. You should note the distinction. Growing old, every animal does. Growing up, only a few human beings manage.” ShouldYearsMindHumansMayPersonsDoeHas BeensMatterMotivationalAgeUnderstandingHuman BeingsAnimalGrowing UpGrowingCapacityNotesStuckManageFiftyDistinctionFortyMediocreSeventiesGrowing OldThirteenMediocre Minds Author:Rajneesh
“The whole gamut of good and evil is in every human being, certain notes, from stronger original quality or most frequent use, appearing to form the whole character; but they are only the tones most often heard. The whole scale is in every soul, and the notes most seldom heard will on rare occasions make themselves audible.” HumansSoulWholeCharacterUseFormCertainEvilHuman BeingsQualityHeardStrongerOriginalsNotesScalesOccasionsToneGood And EvilAppearingRare Occasion Author:Fanny Kemble
“In his fierce, bold determination to see the lives of modern-day slaves up close, Benjamin Skinner reminds me of the British abolitionist of two hundred years ago, Zachary Macaulay, who once traveled on a slave ship across the Atlantic, taking notes. Skinner goes everywhere, from border crossings to brothels to bargaining sessions with dealers in human beings, to bring us this vivid, searing account of the wide network of human trafficking and servitude which spans today's globe.” YearsHumansTwoTodayHuman BeingsModernHundredYears AgoDeterminationAccountsSlaveNotesBritishWideShipsBordersFierceGlobesTraveledVividSessionCrossingsDealerServitudeModern DayHuman TraffickingBargainingTraffickingAbolitionistBrothelsSkinnerSlave Ships Author:Adam Hochschild
“In his very rejection of art Walt Whitman is an artist. He tried to produce a certain effect by certain means and he succeeded....He stands apart, and the chief value of his work is in its prophecy, not in its performance. He has begun a prelude to larger themes. He is the herald to a new era. As a man he is the precursor of a fresh type. He is a factor in the heroic and spiritual evolution of the human being. If Poetry has passed him by, Philosophy will take note of him.” IfsMenHumansMeanArtPhilosophySpiritualArtistCertainValuesHuman BeingsEffectsProduceTypeEvolutionPerformancesNotesFactorsChiefsErasRejectionThemeHeroicProphecyWaltNew EraPreludeSpiritual EvolutionPrecursor Author:Oscar Wilde
“Sometimes I just listen to classical pieces of music to take me away from my work. That's what I kind of do to wash away the notes that I've been working on all day. As human beings we need to sleep so that's kind of one of my little tricks.” NeedsHumansKindLittlesSometimesHuman BeingsSleepPiecesNotesTricksTake MeJust ListenTake Me Away Author:Aaron Zigman
