“You think because you face situations not of your making that you exercise no choice? That you are helpless? To the contrary, child. Your whole life has been full of choices. Hiding from a hard truth is a choice. Surrender - even to the inevitable - is a choice. Even in death there is a choice. You may have no control over the time or manner of your death, but you can choose how you face it.” ThinkingMayChildrenHas BeensHardWholeFacesChoicesSituationExerciseTruth IsContraryWhole LifeSurrenderInevitableHidingHelplessHard Truths Author:C.

“Kids are told there are no differences between boys and girls. They are told there is no such thing ultimately as right and wrong. Values are relative. Truth is relative.

“The general public have a warped view of the speed at which an investigation proceeds. They like to imagine tense conversations going on behind the venetian blinds and unshaven, but ruggedly handsome, detectives working themselves with single-minded devotion into the bottle and marital breakdown. The truth is that at the end of the day, unless you've generated some sort of lead, you go home and get on with the important things in life - like drinking and sleeping, and if you're lucky, a relationship with the gender and sexual orientation of your choice.” IfsImportantEndsHomeChoicesSleepViewsBehindsImagineTruth IsLuckyConversationImportant ThingsDrinkingGenderSpeedDevotionThe End Of The DayBottlesThings In LifeInvestigationHandsomeTenseDetectivesBreakdownOrientationGeneral Public Book:Moon Over Soho Source: Moon Over Soho

“God is real. God is here now. God is this moment revealed. For the most part, we are lost in the past and future world of the mind. To experience the living Presence of God in all things present, we will have come to where God is. We will have to become fully present.

“Someone asked me when it was that I felt confident enough in my writing that I could rely on it as a career. The truth is, I never have. I'm always on the hunt for second, third, or fourth careers.

“The current CEO of Wal-Mart says he has "no choice" but to sacrifice the welfare of his employees in order to serve his customers' need for low prices. So, why are they paying the guy millions a year if there is no possibility for him to change things? I think he is either kidding us or himself. The truth is more likely that he likes things the way they are, or he lacks the strategic imagination to come up with a viable and profitable ways to change them. If either is true, he is overpaid and probably not up to doing the job.” ThinkingGuyChoicesImaginationSacrificePossibilityTruth IsWelfareEmployeeCeo Author:James O'Toole
“I wish I had coined the phrase 'tyranny of choice,' but someone beat me to it.
