Jodi Picoult quote: "The problem with you is that you always see a glass of milk..."
The problem with you is that you always see a glass of milk half empty instead of half filled. Jodi Picoult

Education is not the piling on of learning, information, data, facts, skills, or abilities--that's training or instruction--but is rather a making visible what is hidden as a seed...To be educated, a person doesn't have to know much or be informed, but he or she does have to have been exposed vulnerably to the transformative events of an engaged human life...One of the greatest problems of our time is that many are schooled but few are educated. Thomas Moore
Ram Dass quote: "Your problem is you are too busy holding on to your unworthiness."
Your problem is you are too busy holding on to your unworthiness. Ram Dass
The novelist with Christian concerns will find in modern life distortions which are repugnant to him, and his problem will be to make these appear as distortions to an audience which is used to seeing them as natural; and he may well be forced to take ever more violent means to get his vision across to this hostile audience. When you can assume that your audience holds the same beliefs you do, you can relax a little and use more normal ways of talking to it; when you have to assume that it... Flannery O'Connor
...the problem of space remained, she thought, taking up her brush again. It glared at her. The whole mass of the picture was poised upon that weight. Beautiful and bright it should be on the surface, feathery and evanescent, one colour melting into another like the colours on a butterfly's wing; but beneath the fabric must be clamped together with bolts of iron. Virginia Woolf
Bertrand Russell quote: "The greatest challenge to any thinker is stating the problem..."
The greatest challenge to any thinker is stating the problem in a way that will allow a solution. Bertrand Russell
That's the problem with drinking, I thought, as I poured myself a drink. If something bad happens you drink in an attempt to forget; if something good happens you drink in order to celebrate; and if nothing happens you drink to make something happen. Charles Bukowski
Only the man who has had to face despair is really convinced that he needs mercy. Those who do not want mercy never seek it. It is better to find God on the threshold of despair than to risk our lives in a complacency that has never felt the need of forgiveness. A life that is without problems may literally be more hopeless than one that always verges on despair. Thomas Merton
Paula Poundstone quote: "The problem with cats is that they get the same exact look..."
The problem with cats is that they get the same exact look whether they see a moth or an ax-murderer. Paula Poundstone
One of the terrible fallacies of contemporary psychotherapy is that if people would just say how they felt, a lot of problems could be solved. Elizabeth Wurtzel
Structural linguistics is a bitterly divided and unhappy discipline, and a large number of its practitioners spend too many nights drowning their problems in Ouisghian Zodahs. Douglas Adams
Blaise Pascal quote: "All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit..."
All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone. Blaise Pascal
Ludwig Wittgenstein quote: "The problems are solved, not by giving new information, but by..."
The problems are solved, not by giving new information, but by arranging what we have known since long. Ludwig Wittgenstein
