Engaging Quotes - Page 14

• Wholehearted living is about engaging in our lives from a place of
  worthiness. It means cultivating the courage, compassion, and connection
  to wake up in the morning and think, No matter what gets done and
  how much is left undone, I am enough. It’s going to bed at night thinking,
  Yes, I am imperfect and vulnerable and sometimes afraid, but that doesn’t
  change the truth that I am also brave and worthy of love and belonging.

Where Martha Dodd was struck by Hitler's "weak, soft face," Orwell discerned "a pathetic dog-like face, the face of a man suffering under intolerable wrongs." All this is a reminder that psychopaths have been known to possess engaging qualities, and that Hitler was no less repellent for not sporting fangs.

• The sun had, in the meanwhile, sunk behind the Ettersberg. We felt in the wood the chill of the evening, and drove all the quicker to Wiemar, and to Goethe's house.

He talked a great deal about his theory of colors, and of his obstinate opponents; remarking that he was sure that he had done something in this science.

• Much as being active in the antislavery movement of the last century involved more than not engaging in slavery oneself, so joining in an antiviolence movement has to go beyond opting for nonviolence in one's personal life. It calls for engaging in imaginative and forceful practices of nonviolent resistance to violence, including taking a stand toward entertainment violence.
