Quotes

Good men and good women have fire in the belly. We are fierce. Don't mess with us if you're looking for someone who will always be 'nice' to you. Nice gets you a C+ in life. We don't always smile, talk in a soft voice, or engage in indiscriminate hugs. In the loving struggle between the sexes we thrust and parry. Sam Keen
Each day befriend a single fear, and the miscellaneous terrors of being human will never join together to form such a morass of vague anxiety that it rules your life from the shadows of the unconscious. We learn to fly not by being fearless, but by the daily practice of courage. Sam Keen
Sam Keen quote: "You can know what's in your life when you know what's in your..."

Chronological time is what we measure by clocks and calendars; it is always linear, orderly, quantifiable, and mechanical. Kairotic time is organic, rhythmic, bodily, leisurely, and aperiodic; it is the inner cadence that brings fruit to ripeness, a woman to childbirth, a man to change the direction of his life. Sam Keen
Without knowing how to calculate the odds on such matters, it seems improbably to me that God would have whispered the meaning of my life into the ear of some guru or authority. Sam Keen
I try to steer away from high metaphysical belief because I think we humans do best when we realize that we don't know all that much. Sam Keen
Sam Keen quote: "Trust what moves you most deeply."

Sam Keen quote: "Deep summer is when laziness finds respectability."
Deep summer is when laziness finds respectability. Sam Keen
Burnout is nature's way of telling you, you've been going through the motions your soul has departed; you're a zombie, a member of the walking dead, a sleepwalker. False optimism is like administrating stimulants to an exhausted nervous system. Sam Keen
Sam Keen quote: "The sacred is discovered in what moves and touches us, in what..."
The sacred is discovered in what moves and touches us, in what makes us tremble. Sam Keen
Soul grows in communion. Word by word, story by story, for better or worse, we build our world. From true conversation - speaking and listening - communication deepens into compassion and creates community. Sam Keen
