More quotes by Max Wertheimer

I am not sure whether there can be a way of really understanding the miracle of thinking.

Truth and falsity, indeed understanding, is not necessarily something purely intellectual, remote from feelings and attitudes.

I stand at the window and see a house, trees, sky.

What occurs when, now and then, thinking really works productively? What happens when, now and then, thinking forges ahead? What is really going on in such a process?

Thinking consists in envisaging, realizing structural features and structural requirements; proceeding in accordance with, and determined by, these requirements; thereby changing the situation in the direction of structural improvements.
