“If your primary focus is to get over your health problems or get past a relationship crisis so that you can return to your former life and old patterns- that is, get back to business as usual-you are not really living. The distinction is paradoxical and sometimes subtle. It's the difference between walking through your life on your way to somewhere, and walking as your life. Even if you believe that where you want to get is extremely important, that destination is secondary. Your immediate experience is what really matters. It is your life.” IfsWayWantLifeBelieveImportantSometimesMatterProblemPastDifferencesFocusReturnWalkingCrisisPatternsFormerPrimariesDistinctionSubtleOver YouDestinationGet BackUsualGet OverIf You BelieveParadoxicalHealth ProblemsReally LivingFormer Life Author:Richard Moss
“My whole life has been spent walking by the side of a bottomless chasm, jumping from stone to stone. Sometimes I try to leave my narrow path and join the swirling mainstream of life, but I always find myself drawn inexorably back towards the chasm's edge, and there I shall walk until the day I finally fall into the abyss.” TryingHas BeensSometimesWholeFallSidesWalksPathDangerWalkingStonesEdgesWhole LifeMainstreamAbyssJumpingChasmsNarrow Path Book:Edvard Munch: The Man and the Artist Source: Edvard Munch: The Man and the Artist
“I dare say you marvel sometimes at my independent way of walking through the world just as if nature had made me of your sex instead of poor Eve's. Trust me, my beloved friend, the mind has no sex but what habit and education give it, and I who was thrown in infancy upon the world like a wreck upon the waters have learned, as well to struggle with the elements as any male child of Adam.” IfsWorldWayGivingMindWellsChildrenMadeSometimesSexWaterPoorStruggleHabitWalkingElementsIndependentMalesDareBelovedThrownAdamTrust MeWrecksInfancyBeloved Friends Author:Frances Wright

“I wouldn't say our relationship is always smooth sailing. In a fun sort of way, this publicizing of some feud has brought us closer together. I think it had to do with shooting an episode last season at a school. The students swarmed around him, and I'm walking along and feeling like yesterday's lunch. I was saying that was hard to deal with sometimes and he said, "Stephanie, you can go for it! All you have to do is play sexy." It was a nice chat, but the tabloids took it and made it out that I was jealous.
