Adjustment Quotes (page 6)

...anger's a requirement for the job. The only reason anybody decides to become and organiser. Well adjusted people find more relaxing work Barack Obama
I learned much later to worship her, just as I learned to delight in cleanliness, knowing, even as I learned, that the change was adjustment without improvement. Toni Morrison
Communism is for us not a state of affairs which is to be established, an ideal to which reality [will] have to adjust itself. We call communism the real movement which abolishes the present state of things. The conditions of this movement result from the premises now in existence. Karl Marx
Carl Jung quote: "anyone who attempts to do both, to adjust to his group and at..."
...anyone who attempts to do both, to adjust to his group and at the same time pursue his individual goal, becomes neurotic. Carl Jung
Margaret Mitchell quote: "[T]he merciful adjustment which nature makes when what cannot..."
[T]he merciful adjustment which nature makes when what cannot be cured must be endured. Margaret Mitchell
Sometimes fate is like a small sandstorm that keeps changing direction. You change direction, but the sandstorm chases you. You turn again, but the storm adjusts. Over and over you play this out, like some ominous dance with death just before dawn. Why? Because this storm isn't something that blew in from far away, something that has nothing to do with you. This storm is you. Something inside you. So all you can do is give in to it, step right inside the storm, closing your eyes and plugging... Haruki Murakami
Singin' In the Rain might get you through an anxious week or two, but it won't get you through an anxious life. For that you need either a brain transplant (the only procedure of its kind, it has been said, in which it is better to be a donor than a recipient), a fully stocked bomb shelter, or a thorough adjustment of your perspective on existential risk and reward. Daniel Smith
Thomas S. Monson quote: "We can't direct the wind but we can adjust the sail."
We can't direct the wind but we can adjust the sail. Thomas S. Monson
Jonathan Franzen quote: "He couldn't figure out if she was immensely well adjusted or..."
He couldn't figure out if she was immensely well adjusted or seriously messed up. Jonathan Franzen
Those who feel guilty contemplating "betraying" the tradition they love by acknowledging their disapproval of elements within it should reflect on the fact that the very tradition to which they are so loyal—the "eternal" tradition introduced to them in their youth—is in fact the evolved product of many adjustments firmly but delicately made by earlier lovers of the same tradition. Daniel Dennett
The first theft marked Buck as fit to survive in the hostile Northland environment. It marked his adaptability, his capacity to adjust himself to changing conditions, the lack of which would have meant swift and terrible death. It marked, further, the decay or going to pieces of his moral nature, a vain thing and a handicap in the ruthless struggle for existence. Jack London
...happiness does not spring from the procuring of physical or mental pleasure, but from the development of reason and the adjustment of conduct to principles. Arnold Bennett
it occurred to me what a simple thing reality is, how easy it is to make it work. It's just reality. Just housework. Just a home. Like running a simple machine. Once you learn to run it, it's just a matter of repetition. You push this button and pull that lever. You adjust a gauge, put on the lid, set the timer. The same thing, over and over. Haruki Murakami
Robert M. Pirsig quote: "In the high country of the mind one has to become adjusted to..."
In the high country of the mind one has to become adjusted to the thinner air of uncertainty... Robert M. Pirsig
Elizabeth Edwards quote: "She stood in the storm, & when the wind did not blow her away,..."
She stood in the storm, & when the wind did not blow her away, she adjusted her sails. Elizabeth Edwards
