Instances

Famous quotes containing the word instances:

    There are instances when we are like horses, we psychologists, and grow restless: we see our own shadow wavering up and down before us. A psychologist must look away from himself in order to see anything at all.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    This is one of those instances in which the individual genius is found to consent, as indeed it always does, at last, with the universal.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The child begins life as a pleasure-seeking animal; his infantile personality is organized around his own appetites and his own body. In the course of his rearing the goal of exclusive pleasure seeking must be modified drastically, the fundamental urges must be subject to the dictates of conscience and society, urges must be capable of postponement and in some instances of renunciation completely.
    Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
