“To know oneself, one should assert oneself. Psychology is action, not thinking about oneself. We continue to shape our personality all our life. If we knew ourselves perfectly, we should die.”
Albert Camus
“What people call insincerity is simply a method by which we can multiply our personalities.”
Oscar Wilde
“There will always be "petty tyrants" who are more interested in what time you came to work than what you did while you were there." "And, you will not find them after 5 p.m. to bother you”
Ralph Downey III
“The idea that addiction is somehow a psychological illness is, I think, totally ridiculous. It's as psychological as malaria. It's a matter of exposure. People, generally speaking, will take any intoxicant or any drug that gives them a pleasant effect if it is available to them.”
William S. Burroughs
“Pain is a relatively objective, physical phenomenon; suffering is our psychological resistance to what happens. Events may create physical pain, but they do not in themselves create suffering. Resistance creates suffering. Stress happens when your mind resists what is...The only problem in your life is your mind's resistance to life as it unfolds.”
Dan Millman
“Psychologically I should say that a person becomes an adult at the point when he produces more than he consumes or earns more than he spends. This may be a the age of eighteen, twenty-five, or thirty-five. Some people remain unproductive and dependent children forever and therefore intellectually and emotionally immature.”
Henry C. Link
“Sensation tell us a thing is.Thinking tell us what it is this thing is.Feeling tells us what this thing is to us.”
Carl Gustav Jung
