I have been judged to be a pessimist but what abyss of ignorance and low egoism is not hidden in one who thinks that Man is the god of himself and that his future can only be triumphant?
I think the future of psychotherapy and psychology is in the school system. We need to teach every child how to rarely seriously disturb himself or herself and how to overcome disturbance when it occurs.
The essence of optimism is that it takes no account of the present but it is a source of inspiration of vitality and hope where others have resigned it enables a man to hold his head high to claim the future for himself and not to abandon it to his enemy.
I find it very easy playing Bond. I think he's hilarious. He gets himself into some extraordinarily funny situations.
People are roasting each other at parties at work events around the fire. It's so fun. People are busting each other's chops and it's a sign of affection truly. It's a true test of love and friendship: can you make a man laugh at himself? So what makes a good burn? Go after targets you love and respect. And hit 'em hard.
I know what you're going to say! 'They are men and men should be free.' A free man is dangerous to himself and everyone else. Freedom should be left to those who can put it to good use.
The first of all commodities to be exchanged is labour and the freedom of man consists only in the exercise of the right to determine for himself in what manner his labour shall be employed and how he will dispose of its products.
That freedom that Picasso afforded himself to be an artist in a huge number of ways seems to be a huge psychological liberation.
The greatest enemy of individual freedom is the individual himself.
Man cannot be free if he does not know that he is subject to necessity because his freedom is always won in his never wholly successful attempts to liberate himself from necessity.
A filmmaker has almost the same freedom as a novelist has when he buys himself some paper.
Every tyrant who has lived has believed in freedom for himself.
I would say that playing this character has caused me to think about a lot of things. He's always questioning himself and trying to get back to something he lost touch with and trying to find forgiveness. Everybody struggles with these things to some extent in their life.
How unhappy is he who cannot forgive himself.
He that cannot forgive others breaks the bridge over which he must pass himself for every man has need to be forgiven.
My husband cooks fancier food for himself than I've ever cooked on-air. I call him from the road and he's making champagne-vanilla salmon or black-cherry pork chop. Half of me is feeling unworthy. Not only am I not a chef I'm not a better cook than my own husband!
The worst food you'll ever eat will probably be prepared by a 'cook' who calls himself a 'chef.' Mark my words.
No man will be a sailor who has contrivance enough to get himself into a jail for being in a ship is being in a jail with the chance of being drowned... a man in a jail has more room better food and commonly better company.
I know a man who gave up smoking drinking sex and rich food. He was healthy right up to the day he killed himself.
If a man achieves victory over this body who in the world can exercise power over him? He who rules himself rules over the whole world.
More than fantasy or even science fiction Ray Bradbury wrote horror and like so many great horror writers he was himself utterly without fear of anything. He wasn't afraid of looking uncool - he wasn't scared to openly love innocence or to be optimistic or to write sentimentally when he felt that way.
Fear of things invisible in the natural seed of that which everyone in himself calleth religion.
Wit is so shining a quality that everybody admires it most people aim at it all people fear it and few love it unless in themselves. A man must have a good share of wit himself to endure a great share of it in another.
This man is freed from servile bands Of hope to rise or fear to fall Lord of himself though not of lands And leaving nothing yet hath all.
Alcohol is a very patient drug. It will wait for the alcoholic to pick it up one more time.
