Manipulating or controlling others through the use of one's illness or suffering,for example,was-and remains-extremely effective for people who find they cannot be direct in their interactions,Who argues with someone who is in pain? And if pain is the only power a person has,health is not an attractive replacement. It was apparent to me that becoming healthy represented more than just getting over an illness. Health represented a complex progression into a state of personal empowerment in which one had to move from a condition of vulnerability to one of invincibility,from victim to victor,from silent bystander to aggressive defender of personal boundaries.Completing this race to the finish was a yeoman's task if ever there was one.Indeed,in opening the psyche and soul to the healing process,we had expanded the journey of wellness into one of personal transformation."-

“One thing I noticed about Rex is he's good at going through his progression and then coming back to it again to find the open guy. You can't just key in on one thing and think that he's going to have a tendency to go one way because when you do that, that's when he hits you deep.”

“I don't know how good we will end up overall this season, but I've been nothing less than enthused with the progress from where we came from, ... Last year, we were very weak, had only a couple of starters and fought our way to a 4-6 season. We've come a country mile since then.”

“More and more Americans feel threatened by runaway technology, by large-scale organization, by overcrowding. More and more Americans are appalled by the ravages of industrial progress, by the defacement of nature, by man-made ugliness. If our society continues at its present rate to become less livable as it becomes more affluent, we promise all to end up in sumptuous misery.”

“I'll go in for a few days and see if the staff has any needs. I'll look at the players to see what progress they're making, see who needs to go up or who might need to be released. I'll even spell the coaches by pitching batting practice. Mostly, though, it's a lot of early work, working on individual skills and needs.”

“You have a general idea (before the season what you'll do) because you know what you're capable of. If you train all year, during the summer you try new things. Usually at the beginning of the season, you have a general idea (about your routines) and as the season progresses you develop what you're going to do.”

“The modern developments of economic science in relation to rent indicate progress. For we are learning that what is commonly called the rent of land is really a very complex thing made up of many elements, some of which differ more widely from one another than it, as a whole, differs from profits, or than some elements of it differ from wages.”

“Over the last several years we have seen a convergence of data indicating that efforts to reduce illegal underage drinking and drunk driving, such as education, awareness, and enforcement of the law, are having a measurable impact. While there is more work to be done, we're pleased about the progress that has been made and are committed to continuing our efforts focused on these serious issues.”

“[Oxfam, the international aid agency, said in a press release that] renewed deadlock in world trade talks due to lack of movement by the E.U. could scupper the chances of a deal being done by the end of the year and signal continued suffering for millions of poor farmers. ... Rear-guard action by the French and other E.U. member states is undermining even the minimal progress made.”
