More From Haim Ginott

If thy faith have no doubts, thou has just cause to doubt thy faith; and if thy doubts have no hope, thou hast just reason to fear despair; when therefore thy doubts shall exercise thy faith, keep thy hopes firm to qualify thy doubts; so shall thy faith be secured from doubts; so shall thy doubts be preserved from despair.
Faith Exercise Doubt
And so, through all the thick mists of the dim doubts in my mind, divine intuitions now and then shoot, enkindling my fog with a heavenly ray. and for this i thank god; for all have doubts; many deny; but doubts or denials, few along with them, have intuitions. doubts of all things earthly, and intuitions of some things heavenly; this combination makes neither believer nor infidel, but makes a man who regards them both with equal eye.
Eye Men Fog
I think it's ridiculous to try to sell records to teenagers, because teenagers don't buy my records. and there ain't that many teenagers out there in the marketplace.
Teenager Thinking Trying
I also realized that the philosophers, far from ridding me of my vain doubts, only multiplied the doubts that tormented me and failed to remove any one of them. so i chose another guide and said, let me follow the inner light; it will not lead me so far astray as others have done, or if it does it will be my own fault, and i shall not go so far wrong if i follow my own illusions as if i trusted to their deceits.

They deem me mad because i will not sell my days for gold; and i deem them mad because they think my days have a price.
Money Thinking Mad
Each pursues his private interest and only his private interest; and thereby serves the private interests of all, the general interest, without willing it or knowing it. the real point is not that each individual's pursuit of his private interest promotes the totality of private interests, the general interest. one could just as well deduce from this abstract phrase that each individual reciprocally blocks the assertion of the others' interests, so that, instead of a general affirmation, this war of all against all produces a general negation.

Block Writing Excuse
I've heard people say that [i have a short attention span]. i don't feel i do, because when i'm interested in something i'll stay in focus as long as it is necessary... if you get off on something i'm not very interested in, it's very easy for me to block it out. it's easy for me to block things out.

Meggie folchart: having writer's block? maybe i can help. fenoglio: oh yes, that's right. you want to be a writer, don't you? meggie folchart: you say that as if it's a bad thing. fenoglio: oh no, it's just a lonely thing. sometimes the world you create on the page seems more friendly and alive than the world you actually live in.
