Daniel Quinn
“What is crucial to your survival as a race is not the redistribution of power and wealth within the prison but rather the destruction of the prison itself.”
Daniel Quinn, Ishmael: An Adventure of the Mind and Spirit

John Seymour
“No one can consistently get everything wrong. Such perfection does not exist.”
John Seymour, Introducing Neuro-linguistic Programming: The New Psychology of Personal Excellence

Viktor E. Frankl
“But today’s society is characterized by achievement orientation, and consequently it adores people who are successful and happy and, in particular, it adores the young. It virtually ignores the value of all those who are otherwise, and in so doing blurs the decisive difference between being valuable in the sense of dignity and being valuable in the sense of usefulness. If one is not cognizant of this difference and holds that an individual’s value stems only from his present usefulness, then, believe me, one owes it only to personal inconsistency not to plead for euthanasia along the lines of Hitler’s program, that is to say, ‘mercy’ killing of all those who have lost their social usefulness, be it because of old age, incurable illness, mental deterioration, or whatever handicap they may suffer. Confounding the dignity of man with mere usefulness arises from conceptual confusion that in turn may be traced back to the contemporary nihilism transmitted on many an academic campus and many an analytical couch.”
Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

John Seymour
“We all have beliefs and expectations from our personal experience; it is impossible to live without them. Since we have to make some assumptions, they might as well be ones that allow us freedom, choice and fun in the world, rather than ones that limit us. You often get what you expect to get.”
John Seymour, Introducing Neuro-linguistic Programming: The New Psychology of Personal Excellence

John Seymour
“Why' questions have little value, at best they get justifications or long explanations which do nothing to change the situation.”
John Seymour, Introducing Neuro-linguistic Programming: The New Psychology of Personal Excellence
