Mental Balance

Famous quotes containing the words mental and/or balance:

    “All that remains to the mother in modern consumer society is the role of scapegoat; psychoanalysis uses huge amounts of money and time to persuade analysands to foist their problems on to the absent mother, who has no opportunity to utter a word in her own defence. Hostility to the mother in our societies is an index of mental health.”
    —Germaine Greer (b. 1939)

    “Turning, I kissed her,
    Easily for sheer joy tipping the balance of love.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
