excerpts

Truth makes many appeals, not the least of which is its power to shock.”- Jules Renard
“
Disenchantment, whether it is a minor disappointment or a major shock, is the signal that things are moving into transition in our lives.”- William Bridges
“
No experience is a cause of success or failure. We do not suffer from the shock of our experiences so-called trauma - but we make out of them just what suits our purposes.”- Alfred Adler
“
No matter how hard we try words simply cannot express the horror, the shock, and the revulsion we all feel over what took place in this nation on Tuesday morning. September 11 will go down in our history as a day to remember.”- Billy Graham
“
The shock of discovering that most of the power in the world is held by ignorant and greedy people can really bum you out at first; but after you've lived with it a few decades, it becomes, like cancer and other plagues, just another problem that we will solve eventually if we keep working at it.”- Robert Anton Wilson
“When we forgive evil we do not excuse it, we do not tolerate it, we do not smother it. We look the evil full in the face, call it what it is, let its horror shock and stun and enrage us, and only then do we forgive it.”- Lewis B. Smedes
