Alfred Kubin in Zwickledt, Bernd Erhard Fischer

For the rich man to enter Heaven he must go where camels cannot, through the eye of a needle. The distrust of money, planted so deeply, has never been uprooted. But money is of course the blood of civilization.

The Poisoned Embrace, Lawrence Osborne

The Uses of Enchantment, Bruno Bettelheim

#quotes #bruno bettelheim

The overwhelming bulk of the rest of so-called “children’s literature” attempts to entertain or to inform, or both. But most of these books are so shallow in substance that little of significance can be gained from them. The acquisition of skills, including the ability to read, becomes devalued when what one has learned to read adds nothing of importance to one’s life.

The Uses of Enchantment, Bruno Bettelheim

#quotes #bruno bettelheim

A voice used to tell lies leads us only to perdition; better we should be deprived of it, as is the heroine of the story. But a voice used to repent, to admit our failures and state the truth, redeems us.

The Uses of Enchantment, Bruno Bettelheim

#quotes #bruno bettelheim

We grow, we find meaning in life, and security in ourselves by having understood and solved personal problems on our own, not by having them explained to us by others.
