Paul Watzlawick Quotes

You cannot not communicate Picture Quote #1

You cannot not communicate. Every behavior is a kind of communication. Because behavior does not have a counterpart (there is no anti-behavior), it is not possible not to communicate Picture Quote #1

Maturity is doing what you think is best, even when your mother thinks it’s a good idea Picture Quote #1

The counterpart of the suicide is the seeker; but the difference between them is slight Picture Quote #1

Above all, in comedy, and again and again since classical times, passages can be found in which the level of representation is interrupted by references to the spectators or to the fictive nature of the play Picture Quote #1

The belief that one’s own view of reality is the only reality is the most dangerous of all delusions Picture Quote #1

The suicide arrives at the conclusion that what he is seeking does not exist; the seeker concludes that what he has not yet looked in the right place Picture Quote #1

This is the secret of propaganda: To totally saturate the person, whom the propaganda wants to lay hold of, with the ideas of the propaganda, without him even noticing that he is being saturated Picture Quote #1

Our everyday, traditional ideas of reality are delusions which we spend substantial parts of our daily lives shoring up, even at the considerable risk of trying to force facts to fit our definition of reality instead of vice versa. And the most dangerous delusion of all is that there is only one reality Picture Quote #1

It obviously makes a difference whether we consider ourselves as pawns in a game whose rules we call reality or as players of the game who know that the rules are ‘real’ only to the extent that we have created or accepted them, and that we can change them Picture Quote #1

It follows from the assumption of a universally valid ideology, just as night follows day, that other positions are heresy Picture Quote #1
