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)

Answers to the Quiz (\_/)_(\_/)_(\_/)
1. Inscrutable (adjective)
Definition: Unfathomable, incomprehensible, inexplicable,
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.
