Emotional freedom, the integrity and special quality of one’s own work - these are not first things, but final things. Only the patient and diligent, as well as the inspired, get there.

Yeats -
We make out of the quarrel with others, rhetoric, but of the quarrel with ourselves, poetry. Unlike the rhetoricians, who get a confident voice from remembering the crowd they have won or may win, we sing amid our uncertainty.

Emily Wilson - “Impressive displays of rhetoric and linguistic force are a good way to seem important and invite a particular kind of admiration, but they tend to silence dissent and discourage deeper modes of engagement.”

“No poet ever wrote a poem to dishonor life, to compromise high ideals, to scorn religious views, to demean hope or gratitude, to argue against tenderness, to place rancor before love, or to praise littleness of soul. Not one. Not ever.

On His Seventy-fifth Birthday by
Walter Savage Landor
I strove with none; for none was worth my strife,
Nature I loved, and next to Nature, Art;
I warmed both hands before the fire of life,
It sinks, and I am ready to depart.

I have two professors that have been beloved throughout the years
They have their differences but they seem to enjoy living (or rather, being alive). They seem to be enjoy their lives. At least from the outside
Since you don’t know them, let me assume that they are not the toxic or naive

the heart-shackles are not, as you think,
death, illness, pain,
unrequited hope, not loneliness, but
lassitude, rue, vainglory, fear, anxiety,
selfishness.”

Camus - Myth of Sisyphus
“It is during that return, that pause, that Sisyphus interests me…I see that man going back down with a heavy yet measured step toward the torment of which he will never know the end. That hour like a breathing-space which returns as surely as his suffering,

I like to think of myself as someone who knows depth, who appreciates good writing and literature. Who is, you know, deeeeeep
But damn I get fucking disappointed when a book doesn’t come in the latest cover that I was expecting 😅

It’s a weird feeling of listening to music of a past age/generation, evoking memories of younger selves, then looking across time, only to realize that certain artists have passed, and some groups have ceased to exist where they just weren’t meant to last, regardless of how talented.

“There will always be stronger, faster guys out there who try to make my life miserable. But I try to counter that with never staying in the same spot for more than a second…
The point of conditioning is that it allows you to do whatever your best thing is all the time, not just in

You can be so busy trying to absorb lessons early in your career that you don’t realize it when you start to meet the moment…You’re no longer struggling for answers and hoping for the best. Now you believe. You are supposed to be successful.

Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass
Backwards I see in my own days where I sweated through fog with linguists and contenders,
I have no mocking or arguments…I witness and wait.
I believe in you my soul…the other I am must not abase itself to you,
And you must not be abased to the other

“The long-term therapeutic relationship is a casualty of today’s healthcare.”
“The quality of the [therapeutic] relationship…profoundly influences the quality of the information the therapist uses to make the diagnosis.”
“Good chemistry [of therapeutic alliance] is literally good chemistry.”

Some of my favorite quotes speak to the paradoxes inherent in psychotherapy:
If the analyst cannot be experienced as a new object, analysis never gets under way; if he cannot be experienced as an old one, it never ends.
