Alfred Adler
“The only normal people are the ones you don't know very well.”
Alfred Adler

Lao Tzu
“Watch your thoughts, they become your words; watch your words, they become your actions; watch your actions, they become your habits; watch your habits, they become your character; watch your character, it becomes your destiny.”
Lao Tzu

Gregory Bateson
“When we think of coconuts or pigs, there are no coconuts or pigs in the brain.”
Gregory Bateson, Mind and Nature: A Necessary Unity

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
“The most empowering relationships are those in which each partner lifts the other to a higher possession of their own being.”
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

Gregory Bateson
“We create the world that we perceive, not because there is no reality outside our heads, but because we select and edit the reality we see to conform to our beliefs about what sort of world we live in. The man who believes that the resources of the world are infinite, for example, or that if something is good for you then the more of it the better, will not be able to see his errors, because he will not look for evidence of them. For a man to change the basic beliefs that determine his perception - his epistemological premises - he must first become aware that reality is not necessarily as he believes it to be. Sometimes the dissonance between reality and false beliefs reaches a point when it becomes impossible to avoid the awareness that the world no longer makes sense. Only then is it possible for the mind to consider radically different ideas and perceptions.”
Gregory Bateson, Steps to an Ecology of Mind: Collected Essays in Anthropology, Psychiatry, Evolution, and Epistemology
