Text Quotes
It would not be going too far to assert that ... conflict confronts every woman who ventures upon a career of her own and who is ... unwilling to pay for her daring with the renunciation of her femininity.  (Karen Horney Quotes) When one begins, as I did, to analyze men after a fairly long experience of analyzing women, one receives a most surprising impression of the intensity of this envy of pregnancy, childbirth, and motherhood, as well as of breasts and of the act of suckling.  (Karen Horney Quotes) The idea of a finished human product not only appears presumptuous but even, in my opinion, lacks any strong appeal. Life is struggle and striving, development and growth - and analysis is one of the means that can help in this process. Certainly its positive accomplishments are important, but also the striving itself is of intrinsic value  (Karen Horney Quotes) That many-faceted thing called love succeeds in building bridges from the loneliness on this shore to the loneliness on the other one. These bridges can be of great beauty, but they are rarely built for eternity, and frequently they cannot tolerate too heavy a burden without collapsing  (Karen Horney Quotes) Miracles occur in psychoanalysis as seldom as anywhere else  (Karen Horney Quotes) A normal human being... does not exist  (Karen Horney Quotes) Concern should drive us into action, not into a depression  (Karen Horney Quotes) There is no such thing as a normal psychology that holds for all people  (Karen Horney Quotes) If I couldn’t be pretty, I decided I would be smart  (Karen Horney Quotes) The perfect normal person is rare in our civilization  (Karen Horney Quotes) Life itself still remains a very effective therapist  (Karen Horney Quotes) No one … can entirely step out of his time, that despite his keenness of vision his thinking is in many ways bound to be influenced by the mentality of his time  (Karen Horney Quotes) To find a mountain path all by oneself gives a greater feeling of strength than to take a path that is shown  (Karen Horney Quotes) We may feel genuinely concerned about world conditions, though such a concern should drive us into action and not into a depression  (Karen Horney Quotes) The most comprehensive formulation of therapeutic goals is the striving for wholeheartedness: to be without pretense, to be emotionally sincere, to be able to put the whole of oneself into one’s feelings, one’s work, one’s beliefs  (Karen Horney Quotes) To search for truth about self is as valuable as to search for truth in other areas of life  (Karen Horney Quotes) It would not be going too far to assert that... conflict confronts every woman who ventures upon a career of her own and who is... unwilling to pay for her daring with the renunciation of her femininity  (Karen Horney Quotes) Let me say to begin with: It is not neurotic to have conflict... Conflicts within ourselves are an integral part of human life  (Karen Horney Quotes) The conception of what is normal varies not only with the culture but also within the same culture, in the course of time  (Karen Horney Quotes) If you want to be proud of yourself, then do things in which you can take pride  (Karen Horney Quotes) There is no good reason why we should not develop and change until the last day we live  (Karen Horney Quotes) Is not the tremendous strength in men of the impulse to creative work in every field precisely due to their feeling of playing a relatively small part in the creation of living beings, which constantly impels them to an overcompensation in achievement?  (Karen Horney Quotes) Through the eclipse of large areas of the self, by repression and inhibition as well as by idealization and externalization, the individual loses sight of himself; he feels, if he does not actually become, like a shadow without weight and substance  (Karen Horney Quotes) Like all sciences and all valuations, the psychology of women has hitherto been considered only from the point of view of men  (Karen Horney Quotes) Fortunately analysis is not the only way to resolve inner conflicts. Life itself still remains a very effective therapist  (Karen Horney Quotes)
