Morgan Scott Peck citáty

„Život přináší jeden problém za druhým. Chceme nad nimi bědovat nebo je chceme řešit?“

„Dovoleným ulehčením je například to, když při přípravě na zkoušku nastudujeme stručný výtah z knihy, místo toho, abychom ji četli celou. Pokud je ten výtah dobře napsaný a obsahuje potřebná fakta, můžeme získat potřebné vědomosti způsobem, který nám ušetří spoustu času a úsilí. Opisování při zkoušce je ale nedovoleným ulehčením. Může sice ušetřit čas, ale získaná hodnost o svém nositeli podává klamavý a falešný obraz.“

„Sdílejme naši podobnost, oslavujme naši rozdílnost.“

„Dokud si nebudete vážit sami sebe, nebudete si vážit ani svého času. Dokud si nebudete vážit svého času, nebudete s ním nic dělat.“

„Problémy vyžadují naši odvahu a moudrost, a opačně: právě ony vytvářejí naši odvahu a moudrost.“

“When we love someone our love becomes demonstrable or real only through our exertion - through the fact that for that someone (or for ourself) we take an extra step or walk an extra mile. Love is not effortless. To the contrary, love is effortful.”

“Whenever we seek to avoid the responsibility for our own behavior, we do so by attempting to give that responsibility to some other individual or organization or entity. But this means we then give away our power to that entity.”
