"Life never ceases having a meaning for a humble person. The freedom of choice, the sovereignty that we hold over our own souls, enables a person to discover the meaning of his or her own life every day, even in suffering or death."

"Meaninglessness inhibits fullness of life and is therefore equivalent to illness. Meaning makes a great many things endurable--perhaps everything.... It is not that 'God' is a myth, but that myth is the revelation of a divine life in man. It is not we who invent myth; rather, it speaks to us as a Word of God."

"Meaning comes from the unknown, from the stranger, from the unpredictable that suddenly knocks at your door - a flower that suddenly blooms and you never expected it; a friend that suddenly happens to be on the street you were not waiting for; a love that blooms suddenly and you were not even aware that this was going to happen, you had not even imagined, not even dreamed. Then life has meaning. Then life has a dance. Then every step is happy because it is not a step filled with duty, it is a step moving into the unknown. The river is going towards the sea."

Samuel Alexander
"You can mark in desire the rising of the tide, as the appetite more and more invades the personality, appealing, as it does, not merely to the sensory side of the self, but to its ideal components as well."

Desire

Quote_1.png
Samuel Alexander
"The mental act of sensation which issues in reflex movement is so simple as to defy analysis."

Act

Quote_1.png
Samuel Alexander
"For psychological purposes the most important differences in conation are those in virtue of which the object is revealed as sensed or perceived or imaged or remembered or thought."

Thought

Quote_1.png
Samuel Alexander
"But unfortunately Locke treated ideas of reflection as if they were another class of objects of contemplation beside ideas of sensation."

Creativity

"In the perception of a tree we can distinguish the act of experiencing, or perceiving, from the thing experienced, or perceived."

Perception

Quote_1.png
Samuel Alexander
"Mental life is indeed practical through and through. It begins in practice and it ends in practice."

Life

Quote_1.png
Samuel Alexander
"Psychology is the science of the act of experiencing, and deals with the whole system of such acts as they make up mental life."

Life

Quote_1.png
Samuel Alexander
"It is convenient to distinguish the two kinds of experience which have thus been described, the experienc-ing and the experienc-ed, by technical words."

Experience

Quote_1.png
Samuel Alexander
"But though cognition is not an element of mental action, nor even in any real sense of the word an aspect of it, the distinction of cognition and conation has if properly defined a definite value."

Action

Quote_1.png
Samuel Alexander
"When we come to images or memories or thoughts, speculation, while always closely related to practice, is more explicit, and it is in fact not immediately obvious that such processes can be described in any sense as practical."
