I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE

Oh no, not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world
Man grows used to everything, the scoundrel!
-Raskolnikov
“Like anybody can tell you, I am not a very nice man. I don't know the word. I have
always admired the villain, the outlaw, the son of a bitch.
I'm more interested in perverts than saints.
I don't like laws, morals, religions, rules. I don't like to be
shaped by society.” (South of No North)
At some point the world's beauty becomes enough. You don't need to photograph, paint or even remember it. It is enough. (Toni Morrison)
“I used to think that I could never lose anyone if I photographed them enough. In fact, my pictures show me how much I’ve lost.” (Nan Goldin)

But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep."
― Robert Frost

“We each have our own mixed bag of neurosis, insecurities, perceptions and qualities. Therefore, there is not one way that works completely for us all. Nobody can tell us what to accept; what opens up our world, and what to reject; what seems to keep us spinning in some kind of repetitive misery. This practice (meditation, mindfulness, awareness – whatever you want to call it) helps us know this basic energy very well, with tremendous warmth and honesty, and we begin to figure out for ourselves what is poison and what is medicine” –Pema Chödrön

"The spirit of resistance to government
is so valuable on certain occasions,
that I wish it to be always kept alive.
It will often be exercised when wrong
but better so than not to be exercised at all.
I like a little rebellion now and then.
It is like a storm in the atmosphere."
Thomas Jefferson
Shows you mentioned this to me and oddly reminds me of a poem I sent to someone about pain recently which I first heard bits of from the guy in my avatar.
On Pain
Kahlil Gibran
Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.
Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain.
And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life, your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy;
And you would accept the seasons of your heart, even as you have always accepted the seasons that pass over your fields.
And you would watch with serenity through the winters of your grief.
Much of your pain is self-chosen.
It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self.
Therefore trust the physician, and drink his remedy in silence and tranquillity:
For his hand, though heavy and hard, is guided by the tender hand of the Unseen,
And the cup he brings, though it burn your lips, has been fashioned of the clay which the Potter has moistened with His own sacred tears.
Haha, that is actually a statement in an MBTI test in one of my books where the question is "which slogan better captures your point of view?". It's supposed to be more of a thing for those with a preference for Feeling. The thinking one was "People are apt to mistake the strength of their feeling for the strength of their argument."
“Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read.”
"Question how does a girl who falls, no actually jumps eyes wide open, down a rabbit hole, plummeting into chaos come out unchanged?
Answer, she doesn't."
"A clean break is easier. You can reset it, and it heals, and you move on, but if you leave things messy, and things don't get put right, then it just hurts, forever."
"Perhaps luck exists somewhere between the world of planning, the world of chance, and the peace that comes from knowing that you just can't know it all."
“My typology is . . . not in any sense to stick labels on people at first sight. It is not a physiognomy and not an anthropological system, but a critical psychology dealing with the organization and delimitation of psychic processes that can be shown to be typical.” —C.G. Jung
Stop giving a shit and the shitheads won't keep you at their level.
People living deeply have no fear of death.
Anais Nin
"Try your hand at predicting future events. In the beginning, it does not matter whether or not your predictions are true. You will be stretching your consciousness into areas usually unused."
The Nature of the Psyche
Session 764, Page 48
“My typology is . . . not in any sense to stick labels on people at first sight. It is not a physiognomy and not an anthropological system, but a critical psychology dealing with the organization and delimitation of psychic processes that can be shown to be typical.” —C.G. Jung
"Knowledge automatically changes the personality and the camouflage structure through which it flows. Knowledge, in other words, is action."
“My typology is . . . not in any sense to stick labels on people at first sight. It is not a physiognomy and not an anthropological system, but a critical psychology dealing with the organization and delimitation of psychic processes that can be shown to be typical.” —C.G. Jung
“I don't feel that it is necessary to know exactly what I am. The main interest in life and work is to become someone else that you were not in the beginning.”
“From the idea that the self is not given to us, I think there is only one practical consequence: we have to create ourselves as a work of art.”
Foucault

Now I am thinking of all that energy I spent climbing in and out of windows.

I actually found this more amusing than inspiring but the "peerless poet of passionate perfection" was genius.

"The fact is you cannot be intelligent merely by choosing your opinions. The intelligent man is not the man who holds such-and-such views but the man who has sound reasons for what he believes and yet does not believe it dogmatically. And opinions held for sounds reason have less emotional unity than the opinions of dogmatists because reason is non-party, favouring now one side and now another. That is what people find so unpleasant about it. In education, pupils ought to be made to admit one unpleasant opinion everyday, and no person whose views form a self-consistent whole should be allowed to teach. Then, perhaps, the virulence of orthodoxies might diminish." ~ Bertrand Russell
