What do you do when you don’t know what to do? No wonder there are more suicides among psychiatrists than in any other profession (R D Laing Quotes)
Human beings seem to have an almost unlimited capacity to deceive themselves, and to deceive themselves into taking their own lies for truth (R D Laing Quotes)
Each time a new baby is born there is a possibility of reprieve. Each child is a new being, a potential prophet, a new spiritual prince, a new spark of light precipitated into the outer darkness (R D Laing Quotes)
Doctors have throughout time made fortunes on killing their patients with their cures. The difference in psychiatry is that it is the death of the soul (R D Laing Quotes)
The universe was a vast machine yesterday, it is a hologram today. Who knows what intellectual rattle we’ll be shaking tomorrow (R D Laing Quotes)
To live in the past or in the future may be less satisfying than to live in the present, but it can never be as disillusioning (R D Laing Quotes)
In the context of our present pervasive madness that we call normality, sanity, freedom, all our frames of reference are ambiguous and equivocal (R D Laing Quotes)
Few books today are forgivable. Black on canvas, silence on the screen, an empty white sheet of paper are perhaps feasible (R D Laing Quotes)
I cannot experience your experience. You cannot experience my experience. We are both invisible men (R D Laing Quotes)
True guilt is guilt at the obligation one owes to oneself to be oneself. False guilt is guilt felt at not being what other people feel one ought to be or assume that one is (R D Laing Quotes)
They are playing a game. They are playing at not playing a game. If I show them I see they are, I shall break the rules and they will punish me. I must play their game, of not seeing I see the game (R D Laing Quotes)
Madness need not be all breakdown. It may also be break-through. It is potential liberation and renewal as well as enslavement and existential death (R D Laing Quotes)
We are all murderers and prostitutes - no matter to what culture, society, class, nation one belongs, no matter how normal, moral, or mature, one takes oneself to be (R D Laing Quotes)
The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds (R D Laing Quotes)
Rule A: Don’t. Rule A1: Rule A doesn’t exist. Rule A2: Do not discuss the existence or non-existence of Rules A, A1 or A2 (R D Laing Quotes)
In the society of men the truth resides now less in what things are than in what they are not. Our social realities are so ugly if seen in the light of exiled truth, and beauty is no longer possible if it is not a lie (R D Laing Quotes)
Perfection is something we should all strive for. It’s a duty and a joy to perfect one’s nature... The most difficult thing is love. A loveless, driving person that just competes in the rat race is far from perfection in my book (R D Laing Quotes)
A man who says that men are machines may be a great scientist. A man who says he is a machine is ‘depersonalized’ in psychiatric jargon (R D Laing Quotes)
Being embodied as such is no insurance against feelings of hopelessness or meaningslessness. Beyond his body, he still has to know who he is (R D Laing Quotes)
Creative people who can’t help but explore other mental territories are at greater risk, just as someone who climbs a mountain is more at risk than someone who just walks along a village lane. (R D Laing Quotes)
