Centeredness Quotes

The sense of local community, the feeling of espirit de corps, the satisfaction one gets from belonging to a settled traditional or even tribal order, and the feeling of centeredness and place one gets in the family: These are all wonderful things. But they can, and often do, become poisonous, oppressive, and even tyrannical when the state tries to impose them on the entirety of society. When we try to make the macrocosm of society like the microcosm of the family or tribe, we destroy it every bit as much as when we try to make the microcosm operate according to the rules of the macrocosm. (Jonah Goldberg)

James Hillman

The one thing a creator can bring to the table when everybody else has all the money and power is centeredness and the ability to walk away. Never sit at a table you can't walk away from. View quote
Joss Whedon
Where do you go when hard times hit? Most of the time, our tendency is to enter our internal cave...we naturally shut down, withdraw from it all, and try to figure things out on our own, reemerging from life when we have some sense of centeredness. View quote
