denial

Without realizing that the past is constantly determining their present actions, they avoid learning anything about their history. They continue to live in their repressed childhood situation, ignoring the fact that is no longer exists, continuing to fear and avoid dangers that, although once real, have not been real for a long time.

A fear of weakness only strengthens weakness.

My father learned his disinterest under the guise of masculinity. Boys don__ cry. There are whole disciplines, institutions, rubrics in our culture which serve as categories of denial.Science is such a category. The torture and death that Heinrich Himmler found disturbing to witness became acceptable to him when it fell under this rubric. He liked to watch the scientific experiments in the concentration camps

Employment deprives you of the purpose of existence

Time is denial's mortal enemy and is always victorious against it.

Arrogance based on relentless denial of faults eventually makes a person weary.

Actively repeating a lie or denial does not make it true.

Lies don't end relationships the truth does.

Eli . . ._ I rasped. I lost track of where his kisses landed, where his fingers touched, and grew too comfortable in his arms. __ can__.___ou can,_ he urged, pulling back and grinding my hips against his. Heat quickly rushed to my cheeks. __ have you. I found you, and I__ not letting you go.___ou don____ Eli__ mouth crashed down on mine, stealing a kiss, and I freakin_ lost it. His mouth was absolutely sinful and there was nothing gentle about him, either. Eli was out for something good and was determined to get it. Euphoria sliced through my drunken haze and I grinned as I kissed him back. When his hands slid up my dress and his tongue pushed past my teeth, I moaned loudly and wrapped my legs around his waist.Just this. I can do this.Eli__ fingers inched closer to my panties and I threw my head back against the building to catch my breath.Oh, my God.Lights flashed behind my eyes and the red and blue spots showered over me like rain. __-I have a wedding tomorrow. My friend__,_ I muttered, almost pulling away. To my ears, it didn__ even sound like a coherent sentence.__ielo, I don__ really care._ Eli glanced up at me from his place between my flushed breasts and leaned in to suck my bottom lip into his mouth.____ drunk.___ood._ His hand beneath my dress tugged and I heard the audible rip of my panties. __o am I.

I wept for relationships not possible due to denial and dreams locked in the back of people__ minds, all of the bits of life that lay dormant until the babblings of televisions and nursing homes sweep them away. It makes me wonder how many of the dreams we had originally have already been forgotten.

Defeat is for the valiant. Only they will know the honour of losing and the joy of winning I am not here to tell you that defeat is a part of life: we all know that. Only the defeated know Love. Because it is in the realm of love that we fight our first battles _ and generally lose. I am here to tell you that there are people who have never been defeated. They are the ones who never fought. They managed to avoid scars, humiliations, feelings of helplessness, as well as those moments when even warriors doubt the existence of God.___anuscript Found In Accra _ Paulo Coelho

Complexes can be the feelings of guilt, a victim complex, and fear of failure, criticism, poverty, and loneliness, loss of love, success, insecurity, denial, and low self-esteem

Even as your body betrays you, your mind denies it.

The death of Nighteyes gutted me. I walked wounded through my life in the days that followed, unaware of just how mutilated I was. I was like the man who complains of the itching of his severed leg. The itching distracts from the immense knowledge that one will forever after hobble through life.

Pride is pride not because it hates being wrong, but because it loves being wrong: To hate being wrong is to change your opinion when you are proven wrong; whereas pride, even when proven wrong, decides to go on being wrong.

It is my belief no man ever understands quite his own artful dodges to escape from the grim shadow of self-knowledge.

Most diets would have you cutting things out from your diet they are about denial and discipline.

A man who denies his past is a man who truly denies himself a future, for he refuses to know himself, and to deny knowledge of oneself is to stumble through life as handicapped as the blind mute.
