“Human beings are works in progress that mistakenly think they’re finished. The person you are right now is as transient, as fleeting and as temporary as all the people you’re ever been. The one constant in our lives is change.” PeopleThinkingLifeHumansPersonsLife IsChangeHuman BeingsMistakePsychologyOur LivesProgressRight NowConstantFinishedTemporaryFleetingTransientWork In Progress Author:Daniel Gilbert
“I would love to see what's going to happen with science fiction with peoples' heads, because we still have people running around in the year 2050 or 2100 or 2200 and they have incredible technology and you see the effects: laser beams and rays and beaming down and beaming up. Incredible technical things happening, but everybody is still running around jealous, fighting, whacking, cheating. There's got to be something going on! Some kind of change. I'd like to see something starting to happen in that area, with the psychology of the human being and how that changed.” PeopleYearsHumansKindStillsHappensRunningFightingHuman BeingsFictionTechnologyPsychologyEffectsChangedHappeningsAreasDown AndScience FictionIncrediblesStartingThings HappenCheatingJealousRaysBeamLasers Author:Leslie Nielsen

“Human life is so strangely constituted that even perfected intellectual understanding combined with the richest experience is incapable of conquering innate weaknesses. Even if it thoroughly analyzes itself, psychology (and this is one of the dubious aspects of psychoanalysis) can, to be sure, recognize its flawed native characteristics, but it cannot eliminate them. Understanding (them) is not the same as overcoming (them) and, again and again, we see the wisest of human beings helpless in the fact of their small follies which everyone else observes with a smile.” IfsHumansFactsLife IsUnderstandingHuman BeingsPsychologyHuman NatureIntellectualWeaknessAspectOvercomingConquerHuman LifeCharacteristicsFollyNativeAgain And AgainHelplessIncapableFlawedInnatePsychoanalysisWisestDubious Author:Stefan Zweig

“In all the dictatorships, there's such a non-understanding of what human beings are. I mean, if you believe in the Bible, you have the story of Adam and Eve and God tells them, "Do whatever you want. The only thing you shouldn't do is eat the apple." What do they do the first thing? They eat the apple. So if you know a little bit the psychology of human beings, you have to understand that if you say something you should not do, then everybody wants to do it.” IfsKnowsWantShouldFirstsBelieveHumansMeanLittlesStoriesBitsUnderstandingHuman BeingsPsychologyLittle BitApplesAdamDictatorshipIf You BelieveAdam And EveDo Whatever You Want Author:Marjane Satrapi
