  • For the sake of my children and grandchildren, I hope that the human talent for self-destruction can be successfully controlled, or at least channelled into productive forms, but I doubt it.

  • To one completely committed to this realm of becoming, as are the empiricists, the claim to apprehend verities is a sign of psychopathology.

    Richard M. Weaver (2013). “Ideas Have Consequences: Expanded Edition”, p.137, University of Chicago Press
  • Anger is generally seen as an unwelcome presence in our midst, however natural it may be. Although each person, and each society, is charged with how anger is to be appropriately channeled, the denial of anger, or its continuous repression, is a deep source of our psychopathology and will invariably seek its expression in a less healthful fashion.

    James Hollis (2008). “Why Good People Do Bad Things: Understanding Our Darker Selves”, p.48, Penguin

No one illness or event causes suicide; and certainly no one knows all, or perhaps even most, of the motivations behind the killing of the self. But psychopathology is almost always there, and its deadliness is fierce. Love, success, and friendship are not always enough to counter the pain and destructiveness of severe mental illness
