More From Carrie Fisher

When our embassy is attacked in benghazi by terrorists and there is no response, you get more bad behavior. when russia invades ukraine and there is no response, you get more bad behavior. when syria crosses the red line and there is no response, you get more bad behavior. when iran launches tests of ballistic missiles and there is no response, you get more bad behavior. when north korea attacks sony pictures and there is no response, you get more bad behavior. in other words, mrs. clinton, you cannot lead from behind. we must respond when we are attacked or provoked.

Two infinities: the one that stretches to the beginning but never touches-when you halve and halve and halve, infinitely-and then the one that spreads out into the endless, endless future, the endless, endless, distance.the set of infinities that is itself infinite.

Every stoic was a stoic; but in christendom where is the christian?
Christian Stoic Christendom
In christ we see a maturity of love that flowers in self-sacrifice and forgiveness; a maturity of power that never swerves from the ideal of service; a maturity of goodness that overcomes every temptation, and, of course, we see the ultimate victory of life over death itself.

Acceptance is not a talent you either have or don't have. it's a learned response. my meditation teacher made a great point about the difference between a reaction and a response: you may not have control over your initial reaction to something, but you can decide what your response will be. you don't have to be at the mercy of your emotions, and acceptance can be your first step toward empowerment . . . for me, acceptance has been the cornerstone to my having an emotionally healthy response to my illness.

The problem a lot of writers have is that they really enjoy people saying, "you're brilliant." they let their self-perception be dictated by reader response. but if you're going to let other people make you feel good, you're going to end up feeling bad when they say the opposite. you've got to be a cultural stoic. then you won't be devastated by people who respond negatively. of course, the downside is that it sort of stops you from being able to enjoy people liking your work.

Similar Quotes
Now perhaps an excessive dread of overpopulation--overcrowding--reflects not an outward reality, but an inward state of mind. if you feel overcrowded when you're not, what does that mean? maybe that you're afraid of human contact--of being close to people, of being touched.

The caribbean is such an apocalyptic place, whether it's the decimation of the indigenous populations by the europeans, whether it's the importation of slaves and their subsequent being worked to death by the millions in many ways, whether it's the immigrant processes which began for many people, new worlds ending their old ones.
