“A nervous excitability, a chronic exaltation of the passion, in which commingle the inferior life of the individual and its exterior manifestations, a state in which sentiment, idea, and will are confounded together, where for the lack of the powerful corrective of logic, the flights of imagination know no bounds, where life and human activity are deprived of a regulator, and move outside of material and concrete factors, by the sole interior force of the soul.” KnowsHumansIdeasSoulStatesTogetherMovingPassionIndividualForceImaginationPowerfulMaterialsActivityLogicBoundsJewFactorsFlightNervousManifestationSentimentsConcreteSoleInferiorsInteriorsDeprivedExteriorHuman ActivityExaltationRegulators Author:Kadmi Cohen
“There is a very definite Russian heart in me; that never dies. I think you're born and you live your life with it and you die with it. I'm very much an American - my books tend to be about American things, but inside there's that sort of tortured, long-suffering, aching, constantly analysing Russian soul underneath the happy American exterior.” ThinkingHeartLongBookSoulSufferingDiesBornLive Your LifeDefiniteExteriorLong SufferingAnalysing Author:Paullina Simons
“It is in our own mind and not in exterior objects that we perceive most things; fools know scarcely anything because they are empty, and their heart is narrow; but great souls find in themselves a number of exterior things; they have no need to read or travel or to listen or to work to discover the highest truths; they have only to delve into themselves and search, if we may say so, their own thoughts.” IfsKnowsNeedsMindHeartMaySoulNumbersObjectsFoolHighestEmptyPerceiveExteriorGreat Souls Author:Luc de Clapiers
