The last thing the consumer index wants men and women to do is to figure out how to love one another: The $1.5 trillion retail-sales industry depends on sexual estrangement between men and women, and is fueled by sexual dissatisfaction.

I've found that sitting around and obsessing about projects moving forward, when there's actually nothing I can do about it, at a certain point, is really counter-productive. Danny Strong
We've observed that people who stall in their personal growth work often have counterproductive soft addictions that stand in their way of growth and having the life they say they want. It can be a simple thing, such as watching TV instead of finishing a project. Judith Wright
Dick Wolf quote: "I think most people don't react well to being screamed at...."
I think most people don't react well to being screamed at. It's counterproductive. Dick Wolf
I don't like to be labeled, to be anything. I've made the mistake before myself of labeling my music, but it's counter-productive. Neil Young
I told the President, I told Rahm Emanuel and others in the administration that I thought the policy they took to try to bring about negotiations is counter-productive, because when you give the Palestinians hope that the United States will do its negotiating for them, they are not going to sit down and talk. Charles Schumer
Gerhard Schroder quote: "Any debate among politicians about monetary policy is..."
