The Wisdom Of Thomas Szasz


'There is no psychology ; there is only biography and autobiography.'

'Clear thinking requires courage rather than intelligence.'

'Permissiveness is the principle of treating children
as if they were adults; and the tactic of making sure
they never reach that stage.'

'When a person cannot laugh at himself,
it is time for other people to laugh at him.'

'Two wrongs don't make a right,
but they make a good excuse.'

'The proverb warns 'You should not bite
the hand that feeds you' but maybe you should
if that hand is stopping you feeding yourself.'

Forgiveness vs Forgetting

'The stupid nether forgive nor forget;
the naive forgive and forget;
the wise forgive but never forget'
-Thomas Szazs, 'The Second Sin'.
