More From James Hillman

Peter was dull; he was at first dull; - oh, so dull - so very dull! whether he talked, wrote, or rehearsed - still with his dulness was he cursed - dull -beyond all conception - dull.
Stupid People Dull
The only idea man can affix to the name of god, is that of a first cause, the cause of all things. and, incomprehensibly difficult as it is for a man to conceive what a first cause is, he arrives at the belief of it, from the tenfold greater difficulty of disbelieving it. it is difficult beyond description to conceive that space can have no end; but it is more difficult to conceive an end. it is difficult beyond the power of man to conceive an eternal duration of what we call time; but it is more impossible to conceive a time when there shall be no time.

Coaches should realize that the only way to conquer drudgery is by getting through it as efficiently as they can. a dull job slackly done becomes twice as dull, whereas a dull job performed as efficiently as possible becomes half as dull. effort appears to be the main art of living.

I elbowed my way into the grubby café, bought a pie that tasted of shoe polish and a pot of tea with cork crumbs floating in it, and eavesdropped on a pair of shetland pony breeders. despondency makes one hanker after lives one never led. why have you given your life to books, tc? dull, dull, dull! the memoirs are bad enough, but all that ruddy fiction! hero goes on a journey, stranger comes to town, somebody wants something, they get it or they don't, will is pitted against will. "admire me, for i am a metaphor.
Book Hero Journey
I can readily conceive of a man without hands or feet; and i could conceive of him without a head, if experience had not taught me that by this he thinks, thought then, is the essence of man, and without this we cannot conceive of him.
Men Thinking Hands
We create an image of who we are inside our self. the image then becomes very deeply entrenched, and it becomes the thing that we attribute responsibility to - we say "i", "i" did this because "i" wanted to, because "i" am a good person or because "i" am a bad person. the loop is the fact that we represent our selves, our desires, hopes, dreads and dreams: it is the way in which we conceive of ourselves, rather than the way we conceive of mount everest or of a tree. and i say it exists entirely in the loop: the self is an hallucination hallucinated by an hallucination.

The best work of literature to represent the american dream is 'the great gatsby' by f. scott fitzgerald. it shows us how dreaming can be tainted by reality, and that if you don't compromise, you may suffer.

A lot of the time in my recurring dreams, before i was diagnosed, iconic people would either be good or evil figures. i remember dreaming really basic stuff like trying to navigate the london underground, but then paul newman would be the only one who would direct me to the right trains. and i'm trying to remember who would direct me to the wrong ones.

Man today is fascinated by the possibility of buying, more, better, and especially, new things. he is consumption hungry... to buy the latest gadget, the latest model of anything that is on the market, is the dream of everybody, in comparison to which the real pleasure in use is quite secondary. modern man, if the dared to be articulate about his concept of heaven, would describe a vision which would look like the biggest department store in the world.
