One Can Only Remember What Has Been

People Who, As Children, Were Intellectually Far Beyond Their Parents And Therefore Admired By Them, But Who Also Therefore Had To Solve Their Own Problems Alone. These People, Who Give Us A Feeling Of Their Intellectual Strength And Will Power, Also Seem To Demand That We, Too, Ought To Fight Off Any Feeling Of Weakness With Intellectual Means. In Their Presence One Feels One Cannot Be Recognized As A Person With Problems Just As They And Their Problems Were Unrecognized By Their Parents, For Whom He Always Had To Be Strong.

The Reason Why Parents Mistreat Their Children Has Less To Do With Character And Temperament Than With The Fact That They Were Mistreated Themselves And Were Not Permitted To Defend Themselves.

The Victimization Of Children Is Nowhere Forbidden; What Is Forbidden Is To Write About It.

Contempt Is The Weapon Of The Weak And A Defense Against One's Own Despised And Unwanted Feelings.

Don't Ever Dare To Take Your College As A Matter Of Course - Because, Like Democracy And Freedom, Many People You'll Never Know Have Broken Their Hearts To Get It For You.
