I know that in my family there are histories of violence that are internal family things and that are oftentimes dealt with internally. By internally, I mean inside the family group, but also partly inside ourselves. You know, self-hatred and hostility and rage and this cycle that won’t break.
Indeed every monad must be different from every other. For there are never in nature two beings, which are precisely alike, and in which it is not possible to find some difference which is internal, or based on some intrinsic quality.
Insofar as each of us has been through the moral stages and has held the viewpoint of each stage, we should be able to put ourselves in the internal framework of a given stage.

A song sometimes ends up with its own internal logic.
When I read ‘Meadowland,’ I could see the potential for a very internal, quiet story that could be powerful and emotional but also disturbing and dark.
For me, there is a stigma attached to playing beautiful parts. They are often empty characters whom the action happens around. I’m more drawn to characters with a complex internal life, who have a burning frustration underneath that keeps them going.
Instead of focusing the traditional planning cycles where companies benchmark their businesses against existing competition, teams need to be developed to foster internal change and disruption. Self-disruption is akin to undergoing major surgery, but you are the one holding the scalpel.
I’ve always thought that design can have equal importance to the idea of internal architecture. Professionally, things can be very dogmatic – you do the architecture, someone else does the interiors, someone else does the furniture, the fabric, etc. But I think design is all-encompassing.
I never see a novel as a film while I’m writing it. Mostly because novels and films are so different, and I’m such an internal novelist.
Somehow, people get very nervous about leaving the comfortable life of rules behind and never take the chance to develop their own internal voice, to listen to their own consciousness.
The National Security Agency has broken privacy rules or overstepped its legal authority thousands of times each year since Congress granted the agency broad new powers in 2008, according to an internal audit and other top-secret documents.
At Nokia, we have an internal market for ideas. There could be someone in Nokia who wants research, and they will come to us.
Many people don’t have an internal vision to go after something, fight for something, make a plan. So the biggest thing is – until you get picked up by a major label or until something breaks, you need to plan out what your dream is going to be.
Unfortunately, oftentimes people hire and give opportunities to people that look like them. They don’t realize how much their own internal lives or privilege gets in the way of looking for people outside of the traditional spaces where they always find people.
Inside a company, you can mandate that everyone use the same technology, which means you can go a little bit, I don’t know, higher-fidelity than the lowest-common-denominator technology. There are a lot of things that Slack gives you that email doesn’t when you think about internal use.
Anything that raises any internal honesty about gay life is inherently suspect.
I’ve never met a woman who thinks they’ve got a good enough figure – however perfect they look – which is sad, because no one else can see these perceived flaws; they’re entirely internal.
The internal machinery of life, the chemistry of the parts, is something beautiful. And it turns out that all life is interconnected with all other life.

To tell you the truth, people might think going from a model to a North Korean defector would’ve been difficult in appearance. For me, the focus was not on the external but internal side of things, to fully understand Sae-byeok’s life.
I had internal bleeding with blood clots on the brain. I was completely blind and deaf. I had a heart attack and a stroke.
CEOs resign when the internal dynamics of the company and the external dynamics of the company actually come together to say it is appropriate. When the internal dynamics ask you whether you have a replacement. I think the transition from CEOships have also become cartoonish.
Feeling ‘ugly’ or ‘unattractive’ seeps into your life like poison, and it affects everything. Feeling worthless does the same. We internalise these limitations, and it takes an internal revolution to get rid of them.
Depression is internal. The upswings and downswings have pretty much nothing to do with what’s going on in the external world. It’s not like something sad happens to you and then you feel sad. Good things happen, but you feel sad anyway.
My favorite Swamp Thing stories have always been about a man wrestling with monsters both internal and external.
Everything that is large and institutional should be distrusted, even though it may be the best around. The Internal Revenue Service doesn’t trust me, so why should I trust them? It’s a quid pro quo arrangement.
A lot of time when you’re out injured is spent with internal reflection and kind of looking at yourself in the mirror and deciding who you want to be and where you fit in.
Freedom is an internal achievement rather than an external adjustment.
I know there are different kinds of actors, but I tend to have less effective relationships with actors who have a very private process – who really need to do lots of internal work, so that I become merely a witness until they’re ready to share.
What I strive to do is to make the theater experience something that people remember and recall rather than dismiss because it was less like their everyday experiences. So, I’m less interested in internal emotionalism and much more in making the audience laugh and cry by the devices that we use as theater actors.
Speech is external thought, and thought internal speech.
If you look at great human civilizations, from the Roman Empire to the Soviet Union, you will see that most do not fail simply due to external threats but because of internal weakness, corruption, or a failure to manifest the values and ideals they espouse.
I think the internal combustion engine will disappear from the streets of our cities in the next thirty years because transportation will be mass transportation, or probably electrical power.
You see people doing Java-based internal applications all over the place, regular desktop applications that are sort of front-ends to the things in the back, or standalone things.
Historical fiction was not – and is not – meant to supplant literature from the period it describes. As a veteran of the Crimea, Tolstoy wrote ‘War and Peace’ to match his own internal sense of the truth of the Napoleonic wars, to dramatize what he felt literature from that period had failed to describe.
At the heart of every story is conflict – whether external or internal, make it a good one, and remember that this problem is going to shape your character, leaving her forever changed.
What drives success, and the most successful students, is internal motivation.
I know that when I attached my sense of identity a little too closely to my work that I might be distracting myself from feelings of unworthiness. It wasn’t the number of hours I worked or how bloodshot my eyes were that defined the difference. It was something internal.
Internal protectionism in Europe would be deadly, really a disaster for European economies.
I didn’t need to be motivated by other people overlooking me. My motivation was internal, to be better every day.
Some of my battles with weight have been very public. But most of them have been internal. Even at my thinnest, when my body was being praised, I wasn’t happy with what I saw in the mirror or how I felt about myself.
People have found very significant and simple ways to cheat their employer and get money out of their employers, and many companies lack good internal controls.
