Thomas Szasz/Quotes

The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naive forgive and forget; the wise forgive but do not forget.

People often say that this or that person has not yet found himself. But the self is not something one finds, it is something one creates.

If the dead talk to you, you are a spiritualist; if God talks to you, you are a schizophrenic.
