coexistapart's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- liminal Cleaning out some sort of drawer full of papers, as always, and I just have a few tidbits to write down so that I can get on with my life. "The great general tournament of aptitutude...implying that learning could be engineered." "The private associations of the rich and powerful." "The advent of Google has made schooling unnecessary." -NYT Magazine, "The future looms large." mint.com "In the name of tolerance, your country has had to endury the folly of the redefinition of the spouse. In the name of freedom of choice, it is confronted with the daily destruction of unborn children." -Pope John Paul II "Ephemeral social trends and the spurious demands of opinion polls." "The redemptive power of suffering, and its necessary place in the life of any worth human being." "Impecunious, radical individualism." "Love has nothing to do with the predictable apperance of meals" "The mere contracts or realizations of desire, temporary and volitional, liberating the individual from all binding engagement." -Elizabeth Fox-Genovese "The most stable and therefore most healthy self-esteem is based on deserved respect from others rather than on external fame or celebrity and unwarranted adulation." -Carl Rogers "The author of Against Happiness which officially qualifies him as a professional curmudgeon." 12:39 p.m. - 2009-06-12 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
