I decided early in graduate school that i needed to do something about my moods. it quickly came down to a choice between seeing a psychiatrist or buying a horse. since almost everyone i knew was seeing a psychiatrist, and since i had an absolute belief that i should be able to handle my own problems, i naturally bought a horse.

More From Kay Redfield Jamison

There are similarities between absolute power and absolute faith: a demand for absolute obedience, a readiness to attempt the impossible, a bias for simple solutionsto cut the knot rather than unravel it, the viewing of compromise as surrender. both absolute power and absolute faith are instruments of dehumanization. hence, absolute faith corrupts as absolutely as absolute power.
Faith Cutting Power
You must always work not just within but below your means. if you can handle three elements, handle only two. if you can handle ten, then handle only five. in that way the ones you do handle, you handle with more ease, more mastery, and you create a feeling of strength in reserve.
Work Mean Two
He came from a rock band and even though he was not a lead singer, i knew he was musical just from that. i also knew that he was intelligent enough from talking to him, that he would not play this part unless he could handle it vocally. i knew he was not about to get up there and have to have his voice dubbed or come off croaking. so johnny depp casted johnny depp. i trusted him entirely. i knew that he was no fool and he would only do it if he felt he could handle it. i told him to listen to the score carefully and if you can handle it, fine by me, and i was right.
Intelligent Rocks Talking
There is a story in zen circles about a man and a horse. the horse is galloping quickly, and it appears that the man on the horse is going somewhere important. another man standing alongside the road, shouts, «where are you going?» and the first man replies, «i don't know! ask the horse!» this is also our story. we are riding a horse, and we don't know where we are going and we can't stop. the horse is our habit energy pulling us along, and we are powerless.
Horse Men Circles
How the horse dominated the mind of the early races especially of the mediterranean! you were a lord if you had a horse. far back, far back in our dark soul the horse prances...the horse, the horse! the symbol of surging potency and power of movement, of action in man!
Horse Dark Men
If there is no absolute moral standard, then one cannot say in a final sense that anything is right or wrong. by absolute we mean that which always applies, that which provides a final or ultimate standard. there must be an absolute if there are to be morals, and there must be an absolute if there are to be real values. if there is no absolute beyond man's ideas, then there is no final appeal to judge between individuals and groups whose moral judgments conflict. we are merely left with conflicting opinions.

There are characters in movies who i call 'film characters.' they don't exist in real life. they exist to play out a scenario. they can be in fantastic films, but they are not real characters; what happens to them is not lifelike.
Real Character Play
Fiction helps me to reconnect with the true, deep weirdness inherent in everyday reality, in our dealings with one another, in just being alive.
Reality Everyday Fiction
Have no fear of robbers or murderers. they are external dangers, petty dangers. we should fear ourselves. prejudices are the real robbers; vices the real murderers. the great dangers are within us. why worry about what threatens our heads or our purses? let us think instead of what threatens our souls.
Real Thinking Worry
They dont understand what real treasure is. they see it in gold and copper, and tin. they see in herds of horses or cattle. they gather treasures to themselves, building great storehouses, which they guard ferociously. then they die. what good is it then?
