If You don't believe
that integrity exists
you will be proved
right.
If You live integrity,
you will meet it
everywhere,
knowing immediately
when it is
absent.
Thank YOU !

Nice quotes Cloudia. x
ReplyDeleteEven a liar believes if the lie is for the greater good that person believes they are acting with integrity.
ReplyDeleteTell me the truth as the truth knows itself to be and I will then at least know I am not being deceived.
There are some damn good liars out there.

Thought provoking quotes as usual, and beauty captured as usual. Thank you Cloudia.
ReplyDeleteDon't hide the madness...great advice! I never do, chica. :)
ReplyDeleteOMG ! I cannot believe how just RIGHT on-target came some of these quotes in my case. I was just thinking these days about my parents (b/c I am in Norway and they are in Romania right now, plus, in general I have been living as an independent "adult" for a while...yet forever a child, of course, in my parents' eyes), and if there is 1 single word that could describe my Dad's character it would be Integrity, and that first quote from Jean Genet just somehow captured his personal style and even managed to better illuminate it for my own understanding of him at a more mature level than ever before.

Then came the next quote from Celestine Chua (who I admit I google'd b/c I had no idea who she might be, and I was very pleased to find out her website and her earnest and totally ethical business consultant manner), which managed to somehow capture the style of my realistic & always optimistic positive and energetic Mom !
ReplyDelete(to follow...I'm on a roll ! truly has this article of yours hit me in all the right emotional spots !)
Afterwards, that quote from modernist described also as minimalist, (although I kind of suspect he may have also been an unavoidably latin inclined somewhat sunny romantic, not just a mere bare bones minimalist), mexican architect, (me also carrying a great deal of respect for real life professional architects of whatever style), Luis Barragan, just described for me that bond between my parents, (who have been together & have laudably remained together through really thick & thin more than 35 years), a type of really realistically based & mature loving stable relationship that I have never ceased to admire & wonder if it is even possible to find or attain so often in our days.

Dear Cloudia,
ReplyDeleteThank you. All I can hope for myself is to remember from time to time to think & not forget about the realistic style of practically grounded & efficaceous compassion of former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt + not to give up hope that one can actually find authentically good role models, even maybe ethical mentors, around one in the real world these days too, just if one manages to be a little less narrow-focused than, for example, I myself about Me, maybe too often quite a bit. Your blog is truly both a high quality educational experience for me, and also a true "comfort zone" I can always count on !

Excellent point!
I totally agree with you, Cloudia. If you believe the worst is out there, you'll find it. If you expect the best, that is also there. You are the best!
