Success, for me, is that if my son chooses to be a stay-at-home parent, he is cheered on for that decision. And if my daughter chooses to work outside the home and is successful, she is cheered on and supported. ~Sheryl Sandberg

Representation of the world, like the world itself, is the work of men they describe it from their own point of view, which they confuse with the absolute truth. ~Simone de Beauvoir
#quotes #simone-de-beauvoir #world #truth
All the seven deadly sins are self destroying, morbid appetites, but in their early stages at least, lust and gluttony, averice and sloth know some gratification, while anger and pride have power, even though that power eventually destroys itself. Envy is impotent, numbed with fear, never ceasing in its appetite, and it knows no gratification, but endless self torment. It has the ugliness of a trapped rat, which gnaws its own foot in an effort to escape. ~Angus Wilson

Language in art remains a highly ambiguous transaction, a quicksand, a trampoline, a frozen pool which might give way under you; at any time. ~Harold Pinter

They have a different persona and mindset, and you have to figure out what works best within your communication with that athlete.

Feelings are determined by how one chooses to respond to various situations and events. ~Ralph Marston
#quotes #ralph-marston #emotions #happiness
I always choose to look, as much as one can, at the supernatural not being something that exists outside of nature, but a deeper, fundamental heart of nature that perhaps humans... have lost touch with. It's a more primal thing than perhaps we are attuned to in our modern, self-aware way of life. ~Alan Ball
