“We know ourselves only
as far as we've been tested.
I tell you this
from my unknown heart.”
Wislawa Symborska

Theodore Dalrymple
“Psychoanalysis, as well as death, becomes a bourn from which no traveler returns: and like anything indulged in for a long time, concern over the small change of life becomes a habit, and an irritating one, that inhibits interest and taking part in the wider world. It is a poor center of a man’s attention, himself; compared with psychoanalysis, haruspicy or hepatoscopy (divination by entrails or the liver of sacrificed animals) is harmless to the character, for though it is absurd, it at least is limited in time.”
Theodore Dalrymple, Admirable Evasions: How Psychology Undermines Morality

Stephen Jay Gould
“We reveal ourselves in the metaphors we choose for depicting the cosmos in miniature.”
Stephen Jay Gould, Full House: The Spread of Excellence from Plato to Darwin

Theodore Dalrymple
“(Psychoanalysis, it seems, does wonders for a man’s prose style: it renders it labyrinthine without subtlety.) There is no place, then, for human agency, except the kind that leads you to talk about yourself in the presence of another for twenty years. Shallowness can go no deeper.”
Theodore Dalrymple, Admirable Evasions: How Psychology Undermines Morality

Stephen Jay Gould
“We are storytelling animals, and cannot bear to acknowledge the ordinariness of our daily lives”
Stephen Jay Gould
