Any philosophic explanation of quality is going to be both false and true precisely because it is a philosophic explanation. the process of philosophic explanation is an analytic process, a process of breaking something down into subjects and predicates. what i mean (and everybody else means) by the word 'quality' cannot be broken down into subjects and predicates. this is not because quality is so mysterious but because quality is so simple, immediate and direct.

The first lecture in psychology that i ever heard was the first i ever gave.
Psychology Firsts Lectures
Old-fashioned determinism was what we may call hard determinism. it did not shrink from such words as fatality, bondage of the will, necessitation, and the like. nowadays, we have a soft determinism which abhors harsh words, and, repudiating fatality, necessity, and even predetermination, says that its real name is freedom; for freedom is only necessity understood, and bondage to the highest is identical with true freedom.
Freedom Real Names
They who assert that a blind fatality produced the various effects we behold in this world talk very absurdly; for can anything be more unreasonable than to pretend that a blind fatality could be productive of intelligent beings.

We've always had the blame-america crowd. we've always had the hate-america crowd. but we've now had at least two generations of education where this has been indoctrinated into the young skulls full of mush of young people. they've heard how horrible america was back in the days of slavery. they've heard how horrible america treated women. they've heard how horrible every minority group was treated. they've heard how mean-spirited the founders were. they've heard all kinds of literal lies.

The misery that oppresses you lies not in your profession but in yourself! what man in the world would not find his situation intolerable if he chooses a craft, an art, indeed any form of life, without experiencing an inner calling? whoever is born with a talent, or to a talent, must surely find in that the most pleasing of occupations! everything on this earth has its difficult sides! only some inner drive - pleasure, love - can help us overcome obstacles, prepare a path, and lift as out of the narrow circle in which others tread out their anguished, miserable existences!
