Quotable Qoutes*^*^*^*^*

Man’s main task in life is to give birth to himself, to become 
what he potentially is. The most important product of his 
effort is his own personality.
_Erich Fromm (1900–1980), U.S. psychologist.
------
Personality is the supreme realization of the innate 
idiosyncracy of a living being. It is an act of high courage 
flung in the face of life, the absolute affirmation of all that 
constitutes the individual, the most successful adaptation to 
the universal conditions of existence coupled with the 
greatest possible freedom for self-determination. 
ATTRIBUTION: Carl Jung (1875–1961), Swiss psychiatrist. The 
Development of Personality (1934), repr. In Collected 
Works, vol. 17, ed. William McGuire (1954). 
----
Personality is the most important thing to an actress’s 
success. 
ATTRIBUTION: Mae West (1892–1980), U.S. actor. Goodness 
Had Nothing to Do With It, ch. 1 (1959). 
------
QUOTATION:Personality is an unbroken series of successful 
gestures. 
ATTRIBUTION:F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940), U.S. author. 
The narrator (Nick Carraway),...
----

 Personality and mind, like moustaches, belong to a certain 
age. They are a deformity in a child.... Leave his 
sensibilities, his emotions, his spirit, and his mind severely 
alone. There is the devil in mothers, that they must provoke 
personal ... response from their infants. 
ATTRIBUTION: D.H. (David Herbert) Lawrence (1885–1930), 
British author. “Education of the People,” Phoenix: The 
Posthumous Papers of D. H. Lawrence, p. 621, Viking Press 
(1936)

mysterious.

2. Bid and tip become Bird and trip by adding letter R.
Host and sit become ghost and gist by adding letter G.
Fine and seat become knife and stake by adding letter k.
Tea and ten become late and lent by adding letter L.
Ice and sake become nice and snake by adding letter N. 

3. Let vb and vr denote the speeds of boat and river
respectively. Then the boat has the following speeds
relative to the land.
Upstream: vb - vr
Downstream: vb + vr
Since the distances up and downstream are equal and equal 
to
the respective products of rate and time, it follows that,
9(vb - vr) = 7(vb + vr) which gives, vb = 8vr = 16 mph.
Substituting into either expression for distance, above,
gives a one-way distance of 126 miles.
Thus the round trip was 252 miles.
