Who are your favorite heroes of fiction?
Proust: Those of romance and poetry, those who are the expression of an ideal rather than an imitation of the real
What is your dream of happiness?
Proust: Not, I fear, a very elevated one. I really haven’t the courage to say what it is, and if I did I should probably destroy it by the mere fact of putting it into words.
Since July 1993, the back...

How to Forget Fear →
Imagine if you could rewrite your mind as quickly as a document on your computer. No more painful memories, no phobias or ingrained fears, just a blank slate where the scars that mark each human life used to be. This may sound like the stuff of Hollywood fantasy but last month it came a step closer to reality at New York University. By manipulating memory a research team managed to remove a...

What is your dream?
I have a dream that one day each person will truly be the change they wish to see in the world. I have a dream that we can live in a world beyond creative fears and insecurities, to a life that works in collaboration with imagination and art fearlessly. I have a dream that we look beyond our vanity, beyond the first layer, to discover the core strength of a human being. I have a dream that finding...

Bobby: Remember how great it is when it’s first starting out, you’re just like a couple of stupid kids just laughing at everything and you just want to show that person off to everyone? [referring to the honeymoon period of relationships]
Jules: What if I’m someone who doesn’t get to end up happy? Ellie: Do you want to know what I think? I think if Jeff was the right guy you’d never let him...

Michael Scott: I didn't find a perfect moment, because I think that today was about just having today. And I think that we are one of those couples with a long story, when people ask how they found each other. I will see her every now and then, and... Maybe one year she'll be with somebody, and the next year, I'll be with somebody, and it's gonna take a long time... And then it's perfect. I'm in no rush.

Andy: Travis, woman will always drive us nuts but have compassion, for they only behave that way to protect themselves. They date men they feel superior to so they can’t get hurt. They almost miss out on stuff they feel they aren’t good enough for. Once in a while, they find the courage to just be themselves and then it’s worth the wait.

Dwight: That's a ridiculous question.
Jim: False. Black bear.
Dwight: That's debatable. There are basically two schools of thought.
Jim: Fact. Bears eat beets. Bears beat Battlestar Galatica.
Dwight: Bears do not...WHAT IS GOING ON? WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

So, I was sitting there at the bar and this guy came up to me and he said, "My life stinks." I saw his gold credit card and I saw the way that he was looking at people across the room. I looked at his face and you know what, he had a good looking face and I just said, "Dude... Your perspective on life sucks." - Mika

Bipolar ambigamy →
reblogged from psychotherapy:
Life is sweet; life is dangerous. You have to be positive; you have to be careful. Love makes the world go round; people are scary. I’m an ambigamist not just about embracing a partner but every aspect of life. I watch myself and everyone I know wrestle with the tension between open and closed, romance and skepticism, faith and reason, confidence and doubt,...
