Apathy Adds Up, In The Long Run,

What Anxiety Means Is It's As Though The World Is Knocking At Your Door, And You Need To Create, You Need To Make Something, You Need To Do Something. I Think Anxiety, For People Who Have Found Their Own Heart And Their Own Souls, For Them It Is A Stimulus Toward Creativity, Toward Courage. It's What Makes Us Human Beings.

Many People Suffer From The Fear Of Finding Oneself Alone, And So They Don't Find Themselves At All.

Human Freedom Involves Our Capacity To Pause Between The Stimulus And Response And, In That Pause, To Choose The One Response Toward Which We Wish To Throw Our Weight. The Capacity To Create Ourselves, Based Upon This Freedom, Is Inseparable From Consciousness Or Self-awareness. (p. 100)

Reason Works Better When Emotions Are Present; The Person Sees Sharper And More Accurately When His Emotions Are Engaged.

Vanity And Narcissism — The Compulsive Need To Be Admired And Praised — Undermine One's Courage, For One Then Fights On Someone Else's Conviction Rather Than One's Own.
