Resists Quotes

Most therapists do not appear to know how to pinpoint and reverse therapeutic resistance - to head it off at the pass. Instead, they try to persuade the patient to change, or to do the psychotherapy homework, while the patient resists and ‘yes-butts’ the therapist. The therapist ends up feeling frustrated and resentful, and doing all the work Picture Quote #1

What I think we fear is rapid, pronounced, and uncontrollable changes to ourselves, and because of this we have a form of personality inertia - something that resists rapid change Picture Quote #1

Fantasy is more than an escape from the truths of the world and the past: it is an open acknowledgment that those truths are complex and morally difficult. It offers a different route to creating something which will resonate with readers, in a way which resists the erasure of privacy and autonomy which pervades our modern world Picture Quote #1

It is a fact that the Left routinely resists, then as now: Americans fought and died in Vietnam for freedom, just as they are doing in Iraq and Afghanistan today. Whatever mistakes generals and policymakers have made along the way cannot detract from that essential truth - which should be a part of any reliable history Picture Quote #1

He who willingly accepts chastening by affliction is not dominated by evil thoughts against his will; whereas he who does not accept affliction is taken prisoner by evil thoughts, even though he resists them Picture Quote #1

I don’t think any particular painters have inspired me, except in a general sense. It was more a matter of corroboration. The visual arts, from Manet onwards, seemed far more open to change and experiment than the novel, though that’s only partly the fault of the writers. There’s something about the novel that resists innovation Picture Quote #1

Endgame’ resists narrative and even thematic explanation. How you play it has to reflect this. If you decide something too much in advance, you forget the element that gives the play life - the audience Picture Quote #1

He who allows himself to be arrested for a crime he did not commit will be expelled from the party, but if he resists and comes to us on a stretcher, he is a hero Picture Quote #1

One alters the past to form the future but there is a real significance to the pattern which finally appears, which resists all further change Picture Quote #1

The human mind likes a strange idea as little as the body likes a strange protein and resists it with a similar energy Picture Quote #1

It is possible to imagine a person so entirely that the image resists attempts to dislodge it Picture Quote #1

Yes, the work comes out more beautiful from a material that resists the process, verse, marble, onyx, or enamel Picture Quote #1

The mind likes a strange idea as little as the body likes a strange protein and resists it with similar energy. It would not perhaps be too fanciful to say that a new idea is the most quickly acting antigen known to science Picture Quote #1

This world in which we live needs beauty in order not to sink into despair. It is beauty, like truth, which brings joy to the heart of man and is that precious fruit which resists the year and tear of time, which unites generations and makes them share things in admiration Picture Quote #1

Humility is the safeguard of chastity. In the matter of purity, there is no greater danger than not fearing the danger. For my part, when I find a man secure of himself and without fear, I give him up for lost. I am less alarmed for one who is tempted and who resists by avoiding the occasions, than for one who is not tempted and is not careful to avoid occasions. When a person puts himself in an occasion, saying, I shall not fall, it is an almost infallible sign that he will fall, and with great injury to his soul Picture Quote #1

The hands have to be like concrete when the horse resists and like butter when he yields Picture Quote #1

Much as we may wish to make a new beginning, some part of us resists doing so as though we were making the first step toward disaster Picture Quote #1

Kind words cost no more than unkind ones... and we may scatter the seeds of courtesy and kindliness around us at so little expense. If you would fall into any extreme let it be on the side of gentleness. The human mind is so constructed that it resists vigor and yields to softness Picture Quote #1

How delightful are the pleasures of the imagination! In those delectable moments, the whole world is ours; not a single creature resists us, we devastate the world, we repopulate it with new objects which, in turn, we immolate. The means to every crime is ours, and we employ them all, we multiply the horror a hundredfold Picture Quote #1

A part of us resists all of this and wants to make it sound as if it’s much too religious, an arbitrary thing that we have to do with our life. This is nonsense. This is the real fun Picture Quote #1

Anyone who resists the notion of women preachers is functioning as a tool of the devil Picture Quote #1

Any man that resists the present tides that run in the world, will find himself thrown upon a shore so high and barren that it will seem he has been separated from his human kind forever Picture Quote #1

Everyone’s mind wanders, without doubt, and we always have to start over. Everyone resists or dislikes the thought of or is too tired to meditate at times, and we have to be able to begin again Picture Quote #1

Sin, in the final analysis, is rebellion against the sovereign Creator, Ruler, and Judge of the universe. It resists the rightful prerogative of a sovereign Ruler to command obedience from His subjects. It says to an absolutely holy and righteous God that His moral laws, which are a reflection of His own nature, are not worthy of our wholehearted obedience Picture Quote #1

And is he honest who resists his genius or conscience only for the sake of present ease or gratification Picture Quote #1

A liking for truth at any cost is a passion that spares nothing and that nothing resists. It’s a vice, at times a comfort, or a selfishness Picture Quote #1

Stress happens when your mind resists what is... The only problem in your life is your mind’s resistance to life as it unfolds Picture Quote #1

The willow which bends to the tempest often escapes better than the oak which resists it Picture Quote #1

Only the ego resists egos. The spirit may notice egos, but sees beyond them and does not engage with them Picture Quote #1
