William Shakespeare
“She moves me not, or not removes at least affection's edge in me.”
William Shakespeare, The Taming of the Shrew

“External relationships seem to have been emptied by a massive withdrawal of the real libidinal self. Effective mental activity has disappeared into a hidden inner world; the patient's conscious ego is emptied of vital feeling and action, and seems to have become unreal. You may catch glimpses of intense activity going on in the inner world through dreams and fantasies, but the patient's conscious ego merely reports these as if it were a neutral observer not personally involved in the inner drama of which it is a detached spectator. The attitude to the outer world is the same: non-involvement and observation at a distance without any feeling, like that of a press reporter describing a social gathering of which he is not a part, in which he has no personal interest, and by which he is bored. Such activity as is carried on may appear to be mechanical. When a schizoid state supervenes, the conscious ego appears to be in a state of suspended animation in between two worlds, internal and external, and having no real relationships with either of them. It has decreed an emotional and impulsive standstill, on the basis of keeping out of effective range and being unmoved.”
Harry Guntrip, Schizoid Phenomena, Object Relations and the Self

Baltasar Graci谩n
“In heaven, everything is good; in hell, everything bad. In the world, since it lies between the two, you find both. We are placed between two extremes, and so participate in both. Good and bad luck alternate; not all is happy, nor all hostile. This world is a zero: on its own, it's worth nothing; joined to heaven, a great deal. Indifference to its variety constitutes good sense - the wise are never surprised. Our life is arranged like a play, everything will be sorted out in the end. Take care, then, to end it well.”
Baltasar Graci谩n, The Art of Worldly Wisdom: A Pocket Oracle

Anthony Liccione
“The rich eat life, the poor eat death; so what is the problem they ask?”
Anthony Liccione

“As a solid mass of rock
Is not moved by the wind,
So a sage is unmoved
By praise or blame.”
Anonymous, The Dhammapada

AVIS Viswanathan
“Equanimity is the state when you are unmoved. When all states seem the same: Joy and sorrow, victory and defeat, success and failure, gain and loss; neither a high, nor a low 鈥� none of these states can then affect your equilibrium. There will surely be a momentary blip when any event occurs that causes an emotional response. Metaphorically, it is like what happens when you throw a stone into a placid lake. There will be ripples, a few waves may be generated, but the lake鈥檚 water will soon go back to being calm and peaceful. This unmoved state, equanimity, can be attained only through training your mind. You can and must train your mind, just as you train your body. When your mind is in your control, you are unmoved. Only when you are unmoved do you really experience true Happiness.”
AVIS Viswanathan

Carissa Broadbent
“Does nothing bother you?' he said. 'You seem totally unmoved that you almost died.'

I didn't tell him that I was almost always dying.

'I don't have time to waste on useless things,' I said.

'It was strange to see you in such a state when I found you. And when I brought you back. So... weak.'

A wrinkle formed over his forehead, hinting at confusion.

And that confusion, in turn, confused me.

'Weak?'

'You've seemed... In the time we've known each other, you've seemed infallible.”
Carissa Broadbent, Six Scorched Roses
