People are like stained glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun's out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is light within.

Dear Ohioruthie,
I would describe them just as you did!
Dear Cathy,
You know, she did alot way back when to open the door for women in psychology.
Dear Kath McKait,
Elisabeth Kubler Ross did alot of work on death and dying and the stages of grieving. She was most inspirational to me as a growing professional. Her writings are so beautiful to read despite the heaviness of the subject. She was a special lady.
Dear Lightfeather,
Share, of course. That's what blogging is all about for me: Learning new things and sharing them with others. Milliner's Dream had the Ross quote and the picture on her blog which inspired me to go further with this post. Here's to inspiring others!
~Deb
What a pick! Each one surpasses the other in its insight and aptness.
I like the Adler quote the best. Try this one on for size:
"People with opinions just annoy each other." -The Dali Lama
Dear Id It Is,
The order just happened that way, no intention of besting the next. I think they're all wonderful. I like quotes. Sometimes I use them as mantras.
Dear Armaedes,
That doesn't sound like something the Dalai Lama would say. Where's the source? It is a good quote though.
~Deb
love the carl jung quote.
I loved these quotes. The stained glass analogy hits life right on target, doesn't it? Mind over matter...the mind IS a perweful thing!
Love,
Sarah
You said you were going to do the personality profile quiz...how did it turn out? Accurate?
I loved all the quotes, I Needed some of them today!
Thanks
Dianna
wow...those were amazing, they definatly make you think...thank you so much for sharing them
"All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on."
~Henry Ellis (1859-1939), British Psychologist
~~~WOW!!!
Just...wow...that's so simply and so...profound.
So many, so true..Luv them all.
I love these. Thank you for sharing them. I particularly like the one about those who hate having an unfulfilled life. It was very appropriate for today as my stalker called me at work and I had to hang up on her. Creepy. *sigh*
"The only normal people are the one's you don't know very well."
I like that one. Oh, and the sex one. This is one of my favorite posts so far. I love quotes. And I love the fact that you included pictures to go along with.
It would be cool if you did a post on how you got into this field. The process or journey of discovering what it was you wanted to do in life. Or else if you don't want to get personal on the posts then I would like to know how you got into psychology (sp).
Anna
Love them all. I started reading Kubler Ross when I was a kid; something about her take on dying--normalizing it, etc--was comforting to me then. (Kids worry about death. I know mine do.) What a great field.
Dear Zaria,
Me too. He was a very deep person. Some of his stuff is very hard to read, but this quote is crystal clear!
Dear Sarah,
The mind is powerful. And to think we only know how to harness only a bit of it. Imagine if we could do more.
Dear Ohioruthie,
Yeah, it was pretty close!
Dear Dianna,
I enjoy quotes too. They help me feel a sense of purpose and sometimes they give me great guidance.
Dear Carie,
I'm so glad you enjoyed them. I thought they'd make a good blog post.
Dear Rue,
Isn't it so perfect? Isn't it so simply poetic too? I agree. He rocks!
Dear Heidi,
Makes me happy that you enjoyed reading them. Smiles to you.
Dear Traci,
Blimey, that *is* creepy having that happen. Hope you can remain safe.
Dear Anna,
I went into the field young...always was a problem solver and was always a curious person. When I went to college and found a field that did that, it was an easy decision. What wasn't so easy was the years of training. Sheesh, so much.
Dear Inger,
Kubler-Ross made that scary subject less so for me as well. She also made other things make sense--- and she did it with easy and beautiful language. She was a great contributor to our world!
~Deb
I've seen your name on some friends' blogs and I wanted to check out your world. I really admire your choice of profession. I earned a degree in journalism and psychology. I'm using the journalism portion of my education but I often find myself wondering ... what if... what would have happened if I pursued a career as a psychologist. (Pops is a social worker). I wonder what difference would I have made in the world. Who knows in another life, I may be the psychologist I've always wanted to be....anyhoo, sorry for writing this book...kudos to you for carrying out your important work. God bless.
Dear Michelle,
You probably use quite a bit of your psychology training in your writing and publishing work.Your Dad must so proud of you!!!
~Deb
Thanks for those quotes Deb. I especially like the one about the stained glass window.
Clare
"Hate is a product of the unfulfilled life."
absolutely true...absofuckinlutely.
where is your quote dr deb?
This is a great collection of quotes. The graphics acted as the icing on the cake. This post is definitely a keeper!
Dear Clare,
That quote is beautiful, isn't it?Your photos inspired me to learn how to use the blogger upload feature. Now that I know how, I'll post more pictures!!
Dear Chase,
The quote on hate is one of the most profound and insightful ones I know in explaining hateful behavior. My quotes are found on my 7 Meme, LOL!
DCS,
So glad you like them!
These are very inspirational. I am taking then to heart.
I love how you ran with the idea once inspired by EKB's quote on my blog, Deb...here's to others running, too.
Hh
Hh,
When I read your post, I was so inspired. I had forgotten that quote of hers, and seeing it again made me realize that I wanted to revisit many of the ones I loved...and share them with my blogfriends.
~Deb
all quotes very damn good!!
can u help me make 100% out of my daily energy in studies?
Thank you so so much for the way you run your blog. You really are helping lots of people in the hard work of knowing themselves and have a peaceful inner life. The quotes are really useful and..enlighting (may I say so?). As you said they're meant to help others I'd like to quote you and your quotes in today's post on my little blog. would that be ok with you?
Dear Hammad,
Not sure if I can help in that way!!! But glad you like the quotes.
Deaf Phi,
Of course you can borrow!!! I see you are from Italy. What part? Parlo Italiano! Mia famiglia è da Italia. Desidero visitare un giorno!
Ciao,
Deb
Hi Deb, thanks for permission! Glad you wish to come and visit Italy, where is your family from? I'm from Sardinia. Mi farebbe molto piacere che tu lasciassi un commento sul mio blog.. complimenti per il tuo lavoro, continua così!
Sardinia... e bella, sì? I put some commenta il suo blog. (Don't know the words so I did 1/2 in english 1/2 in italian)
Che (or is it "Que") piacere la sua conocenza.
~Deb
Hopefully you know that your site, and this post particularly, was featured on the blog Light Within this week. If you are not aware of this, go here: http://sajshirazi.blogspot.com
DCS,
I actually saw the post when I visited Shirazi. I was humbled and touched by its inclusion in "The Light Within".
Blogging is such a wonderful way to express oneself and experience others and their own piece of the world. Wouldn't you agree?
~Deb
Deb, I agree. And if you don't mind, I would like to add your site to my links.
DCS (Also a "Deb")
DCS,
Great. I'll add you to mine too. From one Deb to another!
~Deb
Hey Deb,
What do you think about "you hate in others what's most alive inside yourself"?
Just curious.
-P
Dear P,
That is a very true statement. In the psychoanalytic field, we can call the act of hate as a kind of "projection".
~Deb
Hi Dr. Deb:
Skinner's quote was very helpful in completing my Professional Vision Statement for my portfolio. I googled psych quotes & found you. Still teaching psychoanalytic theory?
Hey Sara,
So fun to see you here. Yes, still teaching Psychoanalytic Theory! Sending you regards.
~Deb
