“If we deny the need for thought, Moneo, as some do, we lose the powers of reflection; we cannot define what our senses report. If we deny the flesh, we unwheel the vehicle which bears us. But if we deny emotion, we lose all touch with our internal universe. It was emotions which I missed the most.”
“If we deny the thirst of love, we stand to lose the last known address of the stranger whithin us. ”
“Men are generally right in what they affirm and wrong in what they deny. What we deny is generally something that lies outside our experience, and about which we can therefore say nothing.”
“The sorrow of losing what we love is nothing to the torment of having it present but denied us.”
“Stop lying to yourself. When we deny our own truth, we deny our own potential.”
“We can’t run away from what defines our fates. Who we are and what we believe in grow from the roots of our past, no matter how much we might try to deny it.”
