Famous quotes containing the words approach to, approach and/or psychology:

    There is no calm philosophy of life here, such as you might put at the end of the Almanac, to hang over the farmer’s hearth,—how men shall live in these winter, in these summer days.

    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Salman Rushdie (b. 1948)

    Idleness is the beginning of all psychology. What? Could it be that psychology is—a vice?
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
