“They had an ugly look to one as prone to disgust and fear as the changes of a few hours had made me.”— Charles Dickens Related Quotes “[U]sing religion to treat depression often makes the problem worse. It’s like treating the disease with more of the disease. It is effective in getting people to give time and money to the church, but it does not help the victim.”— Darrel Ray “The proper management of one’s feelings clearly lies along a complex (and therefore not simple or easy) balanced middle path, requiring constant judgment and continuing adjustment. Here the owner treats his feelings (slaves) with respect, nurturing them with good food, shelter and medical care, listening and responding to their voices, encouraging them, inquiring as to their health, yet also organizing them, limiting them, deciding clearly between them, redirecting them and teaching them, all the while leaving no doubt as to who is the boss. This is the path of healthy self-discipline.”— M. Scott Peck “Oh, you have to charge ’em, Jubal. The marks won’t pay attention if it’s free.”— Robert A. Heinlein
