Thought/psychology

Famous quotes containing the words thought and/or psychology:

“Will this thought rise on those who will meet my face no more,
“He was one who had an eye for such mysteries”?”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

“Whatever else American thinkers do, they psychologize, often brilliantly. The trouble is that psychology only takes us so far. The new interest in families has its merits, but it will have done us all a disservice if it turns us away from public issues to private matters. A vision of things that has no room for the inner life is bankrupt, but a psychology without social analysis or politics is both powerless and very lonely.”
—Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
