Quote by Rex Beaber

“A reservoir of rage exists in each person, waiting to burst out. We fantasize about killing or humiliating our boss or the guy who took our parking space. It is only by growing up in a civilized society of law that we learn the idea of proportionate response.”

“Were you looking at the trees just now? Don’t look at the trees man. Look at the gaps between the trees – where you wanna go. Don’t you ski? Same theory…if you think about falling when you’re on a motorcycle, you’ll really go down. It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy thing.”

“Une personne en réaction n'est pas centrée, ne se trouve pas dans son cœur et ne peut pas être bien ou heureuse. Voilà pourquoi il est si utile d'être conscient des moments où tu es toi-même ou en réaction.

“To a statistician, these numbers cannot be used to confirm anything, and so are valueless, because they are chance dispersions. But on psychological grounds I have discarded the idea that we are dealing with mere chance numbers. In a total picture of natural events, it is just as important to consider the exceptions to the rule as the averages. This is the fallacy of the statistical picture: it is one sided, inasmuch as is represents only the average aspect of reality and excludes the total picture. The statistical view of the world is a mere abstraction and their food incomplete and even fallacious, particularly so when it deals with man's psychology.”
