More quotes by Hermann Rorschach

I had to get married to learn how to see the world properly.

I want to read people....the most interesting thing in nature is the human soul, and the greatest thing a person can do is to heal these souls, sick souls.

Hold tight to the conviction that a woman is a human being too, who can be independent....Also realize that equality must exist between men and women.

[Regarding looking at his inkblots:] Color is the enemy of form.

[Said as he was dying:] In a way it is a beautiful thing, to leave in the middle of life, but it is bitter. I have done my part, now let other do theirs.
