There's no evidence whatsoever that men are more rational than women. Both sexes seem to be equally irrational.

There are three musts that hold us back: "I must do well. You must treat me well. And the world must be easy." And I sometimes think that as long as we keep the second must, which is socially learned, then some screwballs 100 years from now will manufacture atomic bombs in their bathtub and maybe annihilate the whole human race because they demand that the rest of the world must agree with their dogmas. When we don't agree, they may zap us.

Many psychoanalysts refused to let me speak at their meetings. They were exceptionally vigorous because I had previously been an analyst and they were very angry at my flying the coop.

By not caring too much about what people think, I'm able to think for myself and propagate ideas which are very often unpopular. And I succeed with them because, again, I don't care too much what other people think.

Humans can always accept themselves unconditionally.

So I'd better stop my whining and help myself cope better with even the worst Adversities.

I'm very happy. I like my work and the various aspects of it - going around the world, teaching the gospel according to St. Albert.
