Perspective: A woman who sells herself to buy bread for her aged mother or her child, stands upon a higher moral plane than the blushing maiden who marries a money bag, in order to gratify her frivolous appetite for parties and travel. Of two men, he is the less deceived, the more logical and rational, who pays his companion of an hour in cash, each time, than he who gets a companion for life by the marriage contract, whose society was purchased as much as in the former case.

Perspective: It all depends on how we look at things, and not on how things are in themselves. The least of things with a meaning is worth more in life than the greatest of things without it. ~Carl Jung

Perspective: It is a curious subject of observation and inquiry, whether hatred and love be not the same thing at the bottom. Each, in its utmost development, supposes a high degree of intimacy and heart-knowledge; each renders one individual dependent for the food of his affections and spiritual life upon another; each leaves the passionate lover, or the no less passionate hater, forlorn and desolate by the withdrawal of his object. Philosophically considered, therefore, the two passions seem essentially the same, except that one happens to be seen in a celestial radiance and the other in a dusky and lurid glow. ~Nathaniel Hawthorne

Perspective: It is a positive fact that some thoughts please us when we are lying down which fail to please us any more when we are on our feet. ~Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

Perspective: It takes a while, but eventually we appreciate that the people who were always there for the special occasions of our youth had other things to do. ~Robert Brault

Perspective: It's a shame that philosophical ideals don't always match up to pragmatic reality. We live in an analog world, not a digital one, so binary black-and-white choices and reflexive adherence to absolutes are rarely useful or applicable. Deal with it. ~David C. Hill

Perspective: It's a shame that pragmatic reality doesn't always live up to our philosophical ideals. There is right and wrong, even if we aren't always gifted with the knowledge of which is which. One can too easily get lost in a world of greys, and so guarded commitment to some absolutes (while acknowledging one's own fallibility) can be essential to avoid sliding down that old slippery slope. ~David C. Hill

Perspective: Life is inherently paradoxical: every dream has the potential for nightmare; every nightmare may reveal some truth. ~Dr. Idel Dreimer

Perspective: Life is not all Beer and Skittles. The inherent tragedy of things works itself out from white to black and blacker, and the poor things of a day look ruefully on. Does it shake my cast-iron faith? I cannot say it does. I believe in an ultimate decency of things; ay, and if I woke in hell, should still believe it. ~Robert Louis Stevenson, letter to Sidney Colvin

Perspective: Look back into folklore and legend, myth and religion, and you will find much of the emphasis is on the shadow. A shadowless man is a monster, a devil, a thing of evil. A man without a shadow is soulless. A shadow without a man is a pitiable shred. Yet together, light and dark, they make a whole. And these light/dark chiaroscuro figures walking about a magical landscape illumine all our lives. ~Jane Yolen

Perspective: Man looks earthward with a microscopic eye; heavenward with telescopic lenses. ~James Lendall Basford

Perspective: Nothing's a gift, it's all on loan. ~Wisława Szymborska

Perspective: Now, what is it which makes a scene interesting? If you see a man coming through a doorway, it means nothing. If you see him coming through a window — that is at once interesting. ~Billy Wilder

Perspective: One day it's your turn, and all the stumbling words of consolation you ever said are said to you - and they don't seem stumbling at all. ~Robert Brault

Perspective: One man's frankness is another man's vulgarity. ~Kevin Smith

Perspective: One man's quiet is another man's din. ~Terri Guillemets

Perspective: One of the advantages of being disorderly is that one is constantly making exciting discoveries. ~A.A. Milne

Perspective: Our deeds determine us, as much as we determine our deeds; and until we know what has been or will be the peculiar combination of outward with inward facts, which constitute a man's critical actions, it will be better not to think ourselves wise about his character. There is a terrible coercion in our deeds which may at first turn the honest man into a deceiver, and then reconcile him to the change; for this reason—that the second wrong presents itself to him in the guise of the only practicable right. The action which before commission has been seen with that blended common sense and fresh untarnished feeling which is the healthy eye of the soul is looked at afterward with the lens of apologetic ingenuity, through which all things that men call beautiful and ugly are seen to be made up of textures very much alike. ~George Eliot

Perspective: Sin is geographical. ~Bertrand Russell

Perspective: So much unmerited honour has been paid me in my lifetime that I may upon occasion well put up with a little unmerited censure. ~Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

Perspective: So often in life a new chapter awaits. You ride off into the sunset and discover it's the sunrise. ~Robert Brault

Perspective: Some men see things as they are and ask why. Others dream things that never were and ask why not. ~George Bernard Shaw

Perspective: Someone said, "The dead writers are remote from us because we know so much more than they did." Precisely, and they are that which we know. ~T.S. Eliot

Perspective: The aim of an argument or discussion should not be victory, but progress. ~Joseph Joubert
