Human Potential Quotes

“Full many a gem of purest ray serene,
The dark unfathom'd caves of ocean bear:
Full many a flower is born to blush unseen,
And waste its sweetness on the desert air.”
― Thomas Gray, An Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard

“I ran across an excerpt today (in English translation) of some dialogue/narration from the modern popular writer, Paulo Coelho in his book: Aleph.(Note: bracketed text is mine.)... 'I spoke to three scholars,' [the character says 'at last.'] ...two of them said that, after death, the [sic (misprint, fault of the publisher)] just go to Paradise. The third one, though, told me to consult some verses from the Koran. [end quote]' ...I can see that he's excited. [narrator]' ...Now I have many positive things to say about Coelho: He is respectable, inspiring as a man, a truth-seeker, and an appealing writer; but one should hesitate to call him a 'literary' writer based on this quote. A 'literary' author knows that a character's excitement should be 'shown' in his or her dialogue and not in the narrator's commentary on it. Advice for Coelho: Remove the 'I can see that he's excited' sentence and show his excitement in the phrasing of his quote.(Now, in defense of Coelho, I am firmly of the opinion, having myself written plenty of prose that is flawed, that a novelist should be forgiven for slipping here and there.)Lastly, it appears that a belief in reincarnation is of great interest to Mr. Coelho ... Just think! He is a man who has achieved, (as Leonard Cohen would call it), 'a remote human possibility.' He has won lots of fame and tons of money. And yet, how his preoccupation with reincarnation—none other than an interest in being born again as somebody else—suggests that he is not happy!”

“As we embark on this challenging yet transformational inner journey, we tap into the quantum self, the infinite potential that resides within. We come to realize that we’re not victims of circumstance, but conscious creators with the power to literally change the world ... or at least our world … by altering our worldview.

Our own reclaimed beliefs—which are more like deep knowings based on direct personal experience instead of mimetic desire—are some of the primary tools that we employ as increasingly conscious architects of our own experience.”
― Sol Luckman, Get Out of Here Alive: Inner Alchemy & Immortality

coming.”

― Rowena Winslow

“Every hour spent surviving is an hour stolen from becoming.”
― Kristian Ventura, The Price of Being Human

“We have no clue what society would look like or mean if people no longer had to pay for food, water, and shelter. But as a consequence: consider the energy, talent, and imagination that would surface from people we deemed ordinary. People whose gifts have been buried by bills. Whose genius has been muted. By lifting the price of being human, we could stop spending ourselves on survival and bloom into the prologue of who we really are.”
― Kristian Ventura, The Price of Being Human

“One heart alone was stubborn enough to sail across oceans without a map. Another discovered how electricity behaves. Another built the systems of mathematics civilization still runs on. One soul produced art that moves strangers to tears four centuries later. The human being cannot be underestimated. The mind is an engine of infinite life. To imprison it rather than nurture it is a cold and merciless crime.”
― Kristian Ventura, The Price of Being Human

“At the moment, human beings do not have enough life left in them to live it.”
― Kristian Ventura, The Price of Being Human
