A batch of the best highlights from what Claudia's read, .
We are at an important age of self-analysis. The art of our time cannot possibly rise an iota above the quality of our insight. It takes strength of a high order to get beyond the ordinary intelligent attitudes of experience. It is tempting accept life as a series of opportunities and anxieties, appetites and frustrations, and, having so accepted it, to canon making and seizing opportunities, whetting and appetites, avoiding disappointment This is the pattern of procedure.

It hurt me to see the American army with drawn bayonets advancing on American boys and girls. But the answer I gave the young radicals seemed to me the only realistic one: “Do one of three things. One, go find a wailing wall and feel sorry for yourselves. Two, go psycho and start bombing—but this will only swing people to the right. Three, learn a lesson. Go home, organize, build power and at the next convention, you be the delegates.”
Rules for Radicals
Saul Alinsky
As with any process involving integrity, the more we find out where we are at emotionally, the better we’ll be able to read other people’s emotions without becoming them. When we are feeling ourselves, there is less need to project our emotions onto others, i.e., feeling their emotions because we’re unwilling to feel our own.
