Famous quotes containing the word motives:

    “The human mind is indeed a cave swarming with strange forms of life, most of them unconscious and unilluminated. Unless we can understand something as to how the motives that issue from this obscurity are generated, we can hardly hope to foresee or control them.”
    —Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
