My psychoanalysis has equipped you with the equivalent of a train ticket to recovery. It is now your decision whether or not you choose to make full use of it.

A belligerent state permits itself every such misdeed, every such act of violence, as would disgrace the individual.

Maturity is the ability to postpone gratification.

Against the suffering which may come upon one from human relationships the readiest safeguard is voluntary isolation, keeping oneself aloof from other people. The happiness which can be achieved along this path is, as we see, the happiness of quietness. Against the dreaded external world one can only defend oneself by some kind of turning away from it, if one intends to solve the task by oneself.

Out of your vulnerabilities will come your strength.

That which we can't remember, we will repeat.
