In general, certain conclusions are possible from these data. They fail to prove that psychotherapy, Freudian or otherwise, facilitates the recovery of neurotic patients.

There thus appears to be an inverse correlation between recovery and psychotherapy; the more psychotherapy, the smaller the recovery rate.

If the truth contradicts deeply held beliefs, that is too bad.

In our tabulation of psychoanalytic results, we have classed those who stopped treatment together with those not improved. This appears to be reasonable; a patient who fails to finish his treatment, and is not improved, is surely a therapeutic failure.

Tact and diplomacy are fine in international relations, in politics, perhaps even in business; in science only one thing matters, and that is the facts.

I always felt that a scientist owes the world only one thing, and that is the truth as he sees it.

They show that roughly two-thirds of a group of neurotic patients will recover or improve to a marked extent within about two years of the onset of their illness, whether they are treated by means of psychotherapy or not.

In general, certain conclusions are possible from these data. They fail to prove that psychotherapy, Freudian or otherwise, facilitates the recovery of neurotic patients.

I've always read a lot of sci-fi. When my son was younger, I actually went to a 'Star Trek' convention.

I think I'm happy with who I am. I don't know if I learned that from other girls or just people in general.

There is a lot of comedy in magic, and magic going wrong, and also it is a dramatic subject.

True enough, the Fed needs radical reforms. In particular, it needs to replace its failed forecasting models and be rid of the academics who overwhelm the Fed system.

I believe that our circumstances can change based on what words we read hear and speak.

It fills me with a weird rage to wear shoes that make me not able to walk easily or run if I had to. It feeds into this whole 'war on women' thing in my head.

Having my first number one single and being able to travel to places I've never been before has been amazing. The tour was also fantastic. There are so many things which I've experienced this year which I never even dreamed of.

I was brought up in a household where you stood up to be counted.

That's the thing: You don't understand burnout unless you've been burned out. And it's something you can't even explain. It's just doing something you have absolutely no passion for.

This was 1978, when flying was still an occasion, a special grand event that took planning and care. I worked as a TWA flight attendant then. I stood in my Ralph Lauren uniform at the boarding door and smiled at the passengers through lips coated with lipstick that perfectly matched the stripe on my jacket. Mostly, the passengers smiled back.

I grew up on the back of a motorcycle - my dad didn't have a car until I was a teenager.

I suppose that if I could have quit, I would have, because in those days I never wanted to be an actress, the acting was something to do while I waited for a chance to study writing and directing. But I guess I was just meant to be an actress. Because, here I am.

I don't know what the outcome will be. I put a couple away for my grandkids, like that. So I don't know, who knows? Maybe I'll start building guitars for a living.

Myths are clues to the spiritual potentialities of the human life.

The Strong take from the weak, but the smart take from the strong.

I was the oldest of seven kids, so I had no older brother who would say, 'Schmuck, don't do that.'

Insurance companies as they exist today are going to be eliminated.

Getting a traditional pharmaceutical to the market can cost a billion dollars or more. Newer, more tailored and targeted drugs called biologics are even more complex and expensive. Simple economics dictates that companies and venture funds will invest more in products that can generate a sufficient return.

Without your health, everything else means nothing.

Our feelings are our most genuine paths to knowledge.

Today's advanced STEM graduate could be tomorrow's world-class, world-changing scientist.

Playing gives me as much good feeling now as it did when I was a bitty kid.

A bad relationship is like standing on broken glass if you stay you will keep hurting...If you walk away you will hurt but eventually you will heal.

Successful people do what others know they should do but will not. To become a success, or just be "more" successful, you will do what average, less-motivated people will not.
