 . . . [today] we accept, indeed regard as a platitude, an idea that Aristotle rejected, that someone can have one virtue while lacking others . For Aristotle, as for Socrates, practical reason required the dispositions of action and feeling to be harmonized; if any disposition was properly to count as a virtue, it had to be part of a rational structure that included all the virtues. This is quite different from our assumption [in the modern world] that these kinds of virtuous disposition are enough like other psychological characteristics to explain how one person can, so to speak, do better in one area than another. . . . [today] we do not believe in the unity of the virtues. |
| For various reasons, education is being driven towards an increasing concentration on the technical and the commercial, to a point at which any more reflective enquiry may come to seem unnecessary and archaic, something that at best is preserved as part of the heritage industry. |
| I don?t want you to feel you?re getting the runaround. You?re not. You just don?t meet the criteria for our grant. |
| I really missed them, ... [They're] all I have now. [My] house is gone, trucks gone -- brand new truck's gone -- but I'm glad I still have them. This makes me appreciate them more. |
| In my experience of shame, the other sees all of me and all through me, even if the occasion of shame is on my surface -- for instance, in my appearance; and the expression of shame, in general, as well as in the particular form of it that is embarrassment, is not just the desire to hide, or to hide my face, but the desire to disappear, not to be there. It is not even the wish, as people say, to sink through the floor, but rather the wish that the space occupied by me should be instantaneously empty. With guilt it is not like this. I am more dominated by the thought that even if I disappeared, it would come with me. |
| It sounds like you would be good for housing, but we?re a community treatment team. We?re working with people who have difficulty maintaining a house. You have some depression, and that?s quite understandable. But we?re working with clients with severe mental disabilities. You don?t fall into that category. |
| It's a damn good idea. And it's a long overdue idea. |
| Let me take a good look at you, ... I haven't seen you in so long. |
| The most primitive experiences of shame are connected with sight and being seen, but it has been interestingly suggested that guilt is rooted in hearing, the sound in oneself of the voice of judgment; it is the moral sentiment of the word. |
| Those guys were in another race. We had two world championship finals, if you ask me. |
| We are potentially looking at tens of thousands of pounds. The Hirst and the McCartney are star lots. |
| We're just trying to get some back, and we're not trying to scare our people away, |
| [Montgomery's kick was a game second effort, but not enough.] Those guys were in another race, ... We had two world championship finals, if you ask me. |
