1 " There are 80,000 prostitutes in London alone and what are they, if not bloody sacrifices on the alter of monogamy "
― Arthur Schopenhauer , Essays and Aphorisms
2 " The " apparently normal personality" - the alter you view as " the client" You should not assume that the adult who function in the world, or who presents to you, week after week, is the " real" person, and the other personalities are less real. The client who comes to therapy is not " the" person; there are other personalities to meet and work "
3 " See. I told you I would get that boy to the alter eventually. All I had to do was pretend I was a loon. "
― Olivia Parker , To Wed a Wicked Earl (Devine & Friends, #2)
4 " There is nothing supernatural. There are only the things in this world that we understand, the things that we don't understand, and made up crap.” The last part of that saying was always the best bit. “Pray at the alter of each of these things, my darlings.” She would be smirking by then.” They all work in their own way. "
― Jamie Mason , Monday's Lie
5 " Most people miss their whole lives, you know. Listen, life isn't when you are standing on top of a mountain looking at a sunset. Life isn't waiting at the alter or the moment your child is born or that time you were swimming in a deep water and a dolphin came up alongside you. These are fragments. 10 or 12 grains of sand spread throughout your entire existence. These are not life. Life is brushing your teeth or making a sandwich or watching the news or waiting for the bus. Or walking. Every day, thousands of tiny events happen and if you're not watching, if you're not careful, if you don't capture them and make them COUNT, your could miss it. You could miss your whole life. "
― Toni Jordan , Addition
