This aversion was not some big crippling anxiety; merely a mature recognition of my own psychological vulnerability and my lack of suitability as a companion. Thoughts jostled for space in my crowded brain as i struggled to give them some order which might serve to motivate my listless life. Irvine Welsh
The beauty myth of the present is more insidious than any mystique of femininity yet: A century ago, Nora slammed the door of the doll's house; a generation ago, women turned their backs on the consumer heaven of the isolated multiapplianced home; but where women are trapped today, there is no door to slam. The contemporary ravages of the beauty backlash are destroying women physically and depleting us psychologically. If we are to free ourselves from the dead weight that has once again been...

public self is a conditioned construct of the inner psychological self. Sigmund Freud
Is it logical that two people can disagree and that both can be right? It's not logical: it's psychological. And it's very real. Stephen Covey
Economics was like psychology, a pseudoscience trying to hide that fact with intense theoretical hyperelaboration. And gross domestic product was one of those unfortunate measurement concepts, like inches or the British thermal unit, that ought to have been retired long before. Kim Stanley Robinson
The Americans have always been better than the Iraqis at the leaflets. Early on in the first Gulf War, Iraqi PsyOps dropped a batch of their own leaflets on US troops, designed to be psychologically devastating. They read, 'Your wives are back at home having sex with Bart Simpson and Burt Reynolds. Jon Ronson
David Ogilvy quote: "Hard work never killed a man. Men die of boredom,..."
Hard work never killed a man. Men die of boredom, psychological conflict, and disease. They do not die of hard work. David Ogilvy
Let people realize clearly that every time they threaten someone or humiliate or unnecessarily hurt or dominate or reject another human being, they become forces for the creation of psychopathology, even if these be small forces. Let them recognize that every person who is kind, helpful, decent, psychologically democratic, affectionate, and warm, is a psychotheraputic force, even though a small one. Abraham Maslow
But to wish oneself into another's glory, as boy or as man, is an impossibility, untenable on psychological grounds if you are not a writer, and on aesthetic grounds if you are. Philip Roth
Oscar Wilde quote: "Ah! The strength of women comes from the fact that psychology..."
Ah! The strength of women comes from the fact that psychology cannot explain us. Men can be analyzed, women...merely adored. Oscar Wilde
True Islam taught me that it takes all of the religious, political, economic, psychological, and racial ingredients, or characteristics, to make the Human Family and the Human Society complete. Malcolm X
Gene Wolfe quote: "Hope is a psychological mechanism unaffected by external..."
Hope is a psychological mechanism unaffected by external realities. Gene Wolfe
The average man has no central core of moral assurance, no spring within his breast, no inner strength to place him above the need for repeated psychological shots to give him the courage to go on living. He has become a parasite on the world, drawing his life from his environment, unable to live a day apart from the stimulation which society affords him. Aiden Wilson Tozer
