I love life and want to hold onto it. But my passion for justice for my tormented people, for their dignity and freedom, must be greater still. For of what value is a life of slavery, of humiliation and contempt for that which you hold most dear: Your identity! I will therefore not give in to the Turkish Inquisition. ~ Leyla Zana
Postnational Identity quotes by Leyla Zana
When we find our identity anywhere other than Christ, our churches will be made up of warring partisans rather than loving siblings. ~ Russell D. Moore
Postnational Identity quotes by Russell D. Moore
Ideology is a specious way of relating to the world. It offers human beings the illusion of an identity, of dignity, and of morality while making it easier for them to part with them. ~ Vaclav Havel
Postnational Identity quotes by Vaclav Havel
As consumers of culture, we are lulled into passivity or, at best, prodded toward a state of pseudo-semi-self-awareness, encouraged toward either the defensive group identity of fanhood or a shallow, half-ironic eclecticism. Meanwhile, as citizens of the political commonwealth, we are conscripted into a polarized climate of ideological belligerence in which bluster too often substitutes for argument. There is no room for doubt and little time ~ A.O. Scott
Postnational Identity quotes by A.O. Scott
In modern societies, some members of ethnic minority groups do not want to feel compelled to heed the voices of their communities when participating as citizens. ~ Michael Kenny
Postnational Identity quotes by Michael Kenny
Humankind's greatest gift is that we are indeterminate beings. Unlike the tough and leathery seed of an acorn, which will grow into a magnificent oak tree, none of us has a predetermined final configuration of our ultimate essence. Our mental temperament is pliable. We make conscious and subconscious choices that govern who we become. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Postnational Identity quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
I always knew I was destined for greatness. ~ Oprah Winfrey
Postnational Identity quotes by Oprah Winfrey
Don't let yourself get bored. Exist to question; question your existence. ~ Doug Cooper
Postnational Identity quotes by Doug Cooper
In friendship you are free, you don't hurt much. But love when comes to hurt hollows your identity, peace, mind and body so intensely making blank mind. ~ Sadashivan Nair
Postnational Identity quotes by Sadashivan Nair
If you manage to live long enough, most of your greatest fears become fond memories to look back on. ~ Ashly Lorenzana
Postnational Identity quotes by Ashly Lorenzana
But while God speaks truth to our hearts day by day, the enemy speaks lies to our minds constantly. And the way we manage our daily thoughts, determines which father we get our identity from. ~ Carlos A. Rodriguez
Postnational Identity quotes by Carlos A. Rodriguez
In this brave new digital world, reality is plastic, and your identity is whatever you wish it to be. As is your future: Wish it, build it, live it. ~ Dean Koontz
Postnational Identity quotes by Dean Koontz
One of the things cognitive science teaches us is that when people define their very identity by a worldview, or a narrative, or a mode of thought, they are unlikely to change-for the simple reason that it is physically part of their brain, and so many other aspects of their brain structure would also have to change; that change is highly unlikely. ~ George Lakoff
Postnational Identity quotes by George Lakoff
She began to be reassured by these pains, tangible symbols of her success in becoming thinner than anyone else. Her only identity was being "the skinniest." She had to feel it. ~ Steven Levenkron
Postnational Identity quotes by Steven Levenkron
Shakespeare had Polonius truly say, "The apparel oft proclaims the man." (Hamlet, act 1, sc. 3). We are affected by our own outward appearances; we tend to fill roles. If we are in our Sunday best, we have little inclination for roughhousing; if we dress for work, we are drawn to work; if we dress immodestly, we are tempted to act immodestly; if we dress like the opposite sex, we tend to lose our sexual identity or some of the characteristics that distinguish the eternal mission of our sex. Now I hope not to be misunderstood: I am not saying that we should judge one another by appearance, for that would be folly and worse; I am saying that there is a relationship between how we dress and groom ourselves and how we are inclined to feel and act. By seriously urging full conformity with the standards, we must not drive a wedge between brothers and sisters, for there are some who have not heard or do not understand. They are not to be rejected or condemned as evil, but rather loved the more, that we may patiently bring them to understand the danger to themselves and the disservice to the ideals to which they owe loyalty, if they depart from their commitments. We hope that the disregard we sometimes see is mere thoughtlessness and not deliberate.

[Ensign, Mar. 1980, 2, 4] ~ Spencer W. Kimball
Postnational Identity quotes by Spencer W. Kimball
The more isolated and disconnected we are, the more shattered and distorted our self-identity. We are not healthy when we are alone. We find ourselves when we connect to others. Without community we don't know who we are ...
When we live outside of healthy community, we not only lose others. We lose ourselves ... Who we understand ourselves to be is dramatically affected for better or worse by those we hold closest to us. ~ Erwin Raphael McManus
Postnational Identity quotes by Erwin Raphael McManus
It is my assertion, however, that the project of remaking humanity and defining identity has been at the core of this century, and that much of this project was characterized by a tremendous destructive urge followed by a long and as yet uncompleted process of coming to terms with the disasters it has produced and is still producing in many parts of the world. ~ Omer Bartov
Postnational Identity quotes by Omer Bartov
Grand failures – the misfortunes of living – provide human beings with an identity. A person is the sum of his or her grievous errors. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Postnational Identity quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
Never hide your identity, where it needed. Otherwise, you may feel the shame, pity, and sorry, for that. ~ Ehsan Sehgal
Postnational Identity quotes by Ehsan Sehgal
Neurology's favourite word is 'deficit', denoting an impairment or incapacity of neurological function: loss of speech, loss of language, loss of memory, loss of vision, loss of dexterity, loss of identity and myriad other lacks and losses of specific functions (or faculties). ~ Oliver Sacks
Postnational Identity quotes by Oliver Sacks
You don't cry anymore, but you don't feel like yourself anymore either. So start again. Start from infancy, get better, and rebuild an identity for yourself. ~ Dana Schwartz
Postnational Identity quotes by Dana Schwartz
Every family has a story that it tells itself, that it passes on to the children and grandchildren. The story grows over the years, mutates, some parts are sharpened, others dropped, and there is often debate about what really happened. But even with these different sides of the same story, there is still agreement that this is the family story. And in the absence of other narratives, it becomes the flagpole that the family hangs its identity from. ~ A.M. Homes
Postnational Identity quotes by A.M. Homes
I think I've found out who I am and what we've been looking for. We don't have to search for my identity anymore. This is it-we're doing it! ~ Patsy Cline
Postnational Identity quotes by Patsy Cline
So I found myself telling my own stories. It was strange: as I did it I realised how much we get shaped by our stories. It's like the stories of our lives make us the people we are. If someone had no stories, they wouldn't be human, wouldn't exist. And if my stories had been different I wouldn't be the person I am. ~ John Marsden
Postnational Identity quotes by John Marsden
Because we are what we love, our identity and our dignity depend on what we love and the depth and passion with which we love. ~ Mark Buchanan
Postnational Identity quotes by Mark Buchanan
You sea! I resign myself to you also-
I guess what you mean,
I behold from the beach your crooked fingers,
I believe you refuse to go back without feeling of me.
We must have a turn together,
I undress, hurry me out of sight of the land,
Cushion me soft, rock me billowy drowse,
Dash me with amorous wet, I can repay you. ~ Walt Whitman
Postnational Identity quotes by Walt Whitman
I do believe that people can only be in love with one landscape in their lifetime. One can appreciate and enjoy many geographies, but there is only one that one feels in one's bones. ~ J.M. Coetzee
Postnational Identity quotes by J.M. Coetzee
In this climate of profoundly disrupted relationships the child faces a formidable developmental task. She must find a way to form primary attachments to caretakers who are either dangerous or, from her perspective, negligent. She must find a way to develop a sense of basic trust and safely with caretakers who are untrustworthy and unsafe. She must develop a sense of self in relation to others who are helpless, uncaring or cruel. She must develop a capacity for bodily self-regulation in an environinent in which her body is at the disposal of others' needs as well as a capacity for self-soothing in an environment without solace. She must develop the capacity for initiative in an environment which demands that she bring her will into complete conformity with that of her abuser. And ultimately, she must develop a capacity for intimacy out of an environment where all intimate relationships are corrupt, and an identity out of an environment which defines her as a whore and a slave. ~ Judith Lewis Herman
Postnational Identity quotes by Judith Lewis Herman
My friend Ronald Gottesman says ... that the cause of all our trouble is the belief in an essential, pure identity: religious, ethnic, historical, ideological. ~ Chris Abani
Postnational Identity quotes by Chris Abani
You don't know anyone at the party, so you don't want to go. You don't like cottage cheese, so you haven't eaten it in years. This is your choice, of course, but don't kid yourself: it's also the flinch.

Your personality is not set in stone. You may think a morning coffee is the most enjoyable thing in the world, but it's really just a habit. Thirty days without it, and you would be fine. You think you have a soul mate, but in fact you could have had any number of spouses. You would have evolved differently, but been just as happy.

You can change what you want about yourself at any time. You see yourself as someone who can't write or play an instrument, who gives in to temptation or makes bad decisions, but that's really not you. It's not ingrained. It's not your personality. You personality is something else, something deeper than just preferences, and these details on the surface, you can change anytime you like.

If it is useful to do so, you must abandon your identity and start again. Sometimes, it's the only way.

Set fire to your old self. It's not needed here. It's too busy shopping, gossiping about others, and watching days go by and asking why you haven't gotten as far as you'd like. This old self will die and be forgotten by all but family, and replaced by someone who makes a difference.

Your new self is not like that. Your new self is the Great Chicago Fire - overwhelming, overpowering, and destroying everything ~ Julien Smith
Postnational Identity quotes by Julien Smith
Identity is such a crucial affair that one shouldn't rush into it ~ David Quammen
