I am opposed to the military use of animals. I am also opposed to the military use of men. (B F Skinner Quotes)
In a world of complete economic equality, you get and keep the affections you deserve. You can’t buy love with gifts or favors, you can’t hold love by raising an inadequate child, and you can’t be secure in love by serving as a good scrub woman or a good provider (B F Skinner Quotes)
To say that... behaviors have different ‘meanings’ is only another way of saying that they are controlled by different variables (B F Skinner Quotes)
Problem-solving typically involves the construction of discriminative stimuli (B F Skinner Quotes)
Fame is also won at the expense of others. Even the well-deserved honors of the scientist or man of learning are unfair to many persons of equal achievements who get none. When one man gets a place in the sun, the others are put in a denser shade. From the point of view of the whole group there’s no gain whatsoever, and perhaps a loss (B F Skinner Quotes)
A fourth-grade reader may be a sixth-grade mathematician. The grade is an administrative device which does violence to the nature of the developmental process (B F Skinner Quotes)
We shouldn’t teach great books; we should teach a love of reading. Knowing the contents of a few works of literature is a trivial achievement. Being inclined to go on reading is a great achievement (B F Skinner Quotes)
I will be dead in a few months. But it hasn’t given me the slightest anxiety or worry. I always knew I was going to die (B F Skinner Quotes)
Old age is rather like another country. You will enjoy it more if you have prepared yourself before you go (B F Skinner Quotes)
The problem of far greater importance remains to be solved. Rather than build a world in which we shall all live well, we must stop building one in which it will be impossible to live at all (B F Skinner Quotes)
Science, not religion, has taught me my most useful values, among them intellectual honesty. It is better to go without answers than to accept those that merely resolve puzzlement (B F Skinner Quotes)
An important fact about verbal behavior is that speaker and listener may reside within the same skin (B F Skinner Quotes)
If the world is to save any part of its resources for the future, it must reduce not only consumption but the number of consumers (B F Skinner Quotes)
The world’s a poor standard. any society which is free of hunger and violence looks bright against that background (B F Skinner Quotes)
It is not a question of starting. The start has been made. It’s a question of what’s to be done from now on (B F Skinner Quotes)
A vast technology has been developed to prevent, reduce, or terminate exhausting labor and physical damage. It is now dedicated to the production of the most trivial conveniences and comfort (B F Skinner Quotes)
It is a surprising fact that those who object most violently to the manipulation of behaviour nevertheless make the most vigorous effort to manipulate minds (B F Skinner Quotes)
A scientist may not be sure of the answer, but he’s often sure he can find one. And that’s a condition which is clearly not enjoyed by philosophy (B F Skinner Quotes)
The only geniuses produced by the chaos of society are those who do something about it. Chaos breeds geniuses. It offers a man something to be a genius about (B F Skinner Quotes)
You can get along very well in this world by simply coming up with a quantity of reasonably valid statements. (B F Skinner Quotes)
The one fact that I would cry form every housetop is this: the Good Life is waiting for us - here and now. (B F Skinner Quotes)
If freedom is a requisite for human happiness, then all that’s necessary is to provide the illusion of freedom. (B F Skinner Quotes)
Except when physically restrained, a person is least free or dignified when he is under threat of punishment, and unfortunately most people often are. (B F Skinner Quotes)
It has always been the task of formal education to set up behavior which would prove useful or enjoyable later in a student’s life. (B F Skinner Quotes)
Behavior used to be reinforced by great deprivation; if people weren’t hungry, they wouldn’t work. Now we are committed to feeding people whether they work or not. Nor is money as great a reinforcer as it once was. People no longer work for punitive reasons, yet our culture offers no new satisfactions. (B F Skinner Quotes)
The environment will continue to deteriorate until pollution practices are abandoned (B F Skinner Quotes)
Must we wait for selection to solve the problems of overpopulation, exhaustion of resources, pollution of the environment and a nuclear holocaust, or can we take explicit steps to make our future more secure? In the latter case, must we not transcend selection? (B F Skinner Quotes)
I don’t deny the importance of genetics. However, the fact that I might be altruistic isn’t because I have a gene for altruism; the fact that I do something for my children at some cost to myself comes from a history that has operated on me. (B F Skinner Quotes)
