More From Sidney Hook

Perception without the word, which is without thought, is one of the strangest phenomena. then the perception is much more acute, not only with the brain, but also with all the senses. such perception is not the fragmentary perception of the intellect nor the affair of the emotions. it can be called a total perception, and it is part of meditation.
Meditation Perception Brain
When i talk to anyone or read the writings of anyone who has any axe to grind, i feel that intellectual honesty and balanced judgement have simply disappeared from the face of the earth. everyone's thought is forensic, everyone is simply putting a "case" with deliberate suppression of his opponent's point of view, and, what is more, with complete insensitiveness to any sufferings except those of himself and his friends.
Honesty Writing Views
It is all a question of sensitiveness. brute force and overbearing may make a terrific effect. but in the end, that which lives by delicate sensitiveness. if it were a question of brute force, not a single human baby would survive for a fortnight. it is the grass of the field, most frail of all things, that supports all life all the time. but for the green grass, no empire would rise, no man would eat bread: for grain is grass; and hercules or napoleon or henry ford would alike be denied existence.

'tis certain that a serious attention to the sciences and liberal arts softens and humanizes the temper, and cherishes those fine emotions in which true virtue and honor consist. it rarely, very rarely happens that a man of taste and learning is not, at least, an honest man, whatever frailties may attend him.

A mirror does not develop because an historical pageant passes in front of it. it only develops when it gets a fresh coat of quicksilver in other words, when it acquires new sensitiveness; and the novel's success lies in its own sensitiveness, not in the success of its subject matter.
Lying Mirrors Historical
Awareness is observation without choice, condemnation, or justification. awareness is silent observation from which there arises understanding without the experiencer and the experienced. in this awareness, which is passive, the problem or the cause is given an opportunity to unfold itself and so give its full significance. in awareness there is no end in view to be gained, and there is no becoming, the 'me' and the 'mine' not being given the continuity.

Opportunities flit by while we sit regretting the chances we have lost, and the happiness that comes to us we heed not, because of the happiness that is gone.
