More quotes by Wilhelm Stekel
Candor is always a double-edged sword; it may heal or it may separate.
Every resistance reveals the ego (one's own) in conflict with another.
Obedience is the giving up of the resistance; obstinacy the setting up of fresh resistances.
Defiance is the reaction against activity (aggression) of the environment.
In reality, we are still children. We want to find a playmate for our thoughts and feelings.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
