Activity 5.5: Mystery Quotation
Instructions: Test how well you can apply your understanding of the theoretical
position. After you’ve explored the lesson, figure out the point of view of the person
behind the following quotations, and briefly justify your interpretation. Write your
output in a short bond paper.
1. “You can’t help your emotions but you can change how you express them.” ―
Dr. Suzette Toombs
“You can’t help your emotions but you can change how you express
them” which means from my point of view is that I can’t stop showing
my emotions but I can make difference by controlling to express them
positively.
2. “The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it.” ― Henry
David Thoreau
“The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it”
which means from my point of view is that there is a price for
everything, and I can’t restore my life decisions with it. I shouldn’t
waste time because I can’t go back to the time I regret.
3. “It’s hard not to be a fighter when you’re constantly under siege.” ―

Cassandra Duffy
“It’s hard not to be a fighter when you’re constantly under siege”

which means from my point of view is that I should fight and stand
even though I am put under continuous pressure.
4. “We know not through our intellect but through our experience.” ―
Maurice Merleau-Ponty
“We know not through our intellect but our experience” which
means from my point of view is that I might not have an
intelligent mind but through my experience in life, I just know
that I can survive from this cruel world.
5. “Harmony with land is like harmony with a friend; you cannot cherish his
right hand and chop off his left.” ― Aldo Leopold
“Harmony with land is like harmony with a friend; you cannot

cherish his right hand and chop off his left” which means from my
point of view is that living peacefully with the one I cherished are
not every time happy because there is always a time that we are
fighting in a relationship.
6. “Education must lead us from the irresponsible opinion to true responsible

judgement. It must lead us from chance and arbitrariness to rational clarity
and intellectual order.” ―Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
“Education must lead us from the irresponsible opinion to true

responsible judgement. It must lead us from chance and
arbitrariness to rational clarity and intellectual order” which means
from my point of view is that being in school can result in learning
nonsense perspective instead of ethical behavior. Education must
contain a sense of intellectual training.
7. “The most thought-provoking thing in our thought-provoking time is that we are

still not thinking.” ― Martin Heidegger
The most thought-provoking thing in our thought-provoking time is that

we are still not thinking” which means from my point of view that
deciding easily from little things doesn’t provoke a real judgment of
thinking even though I think it’s good enough.
