No one … can entirely step out of his time, that despite his keenness of vision his thinking is in many ways bound to be influenced by the mentality of his time

[Neurotics are] torn by inner conflicts ... Every neurotic ... is at war with himself.

If you want to be proud of yourself, then do things in which you can take pride

Life as a therapist is ruthless; circumstances that are helpful to one neurotic may crush another.

Karen Horney 38 quotes

Basic anxiety can be roughly ...

Basic anxiety can be roughly described as a feeling of being small, insignificant, helpless, deserted or endangered in a world that is out to abuse, cheat, humiliate, betray, envy... . And special in this is the child's feeling that the parents' love, their Christian charity, honesty, generosity ... may be only a pretense.

There is no good reason why we should not develop and change until the last day we live.

Karen Horney 38 quotes

Is not the tremendous strengt...

Is not the tremendous strength in men of the impulse to creative work in every field precisely due to their feeling of playing a relatively small part in the creation of living beings, which constantly impels them to an overcompensation in achievement?

Karen Horney 38 quotes

It would not be going too far...

It would not be going too far to assert that ... conflict confronts every woman who ventures upon a career of her own and who is ... unwilling to pay for her daring with the renunciation of her femininity.

Karen Horney 38 quotes

That many-faceted thing called love succeeds in building bridges from the loneliness on this shore to the loneliness on the other one. These bridges can be of great beauty, but they are rarely built for eternity, and frequently they cannot tolerate too heavy a burden without collapsing.

To search for truth about self is as valuable as to search for truth in other areas of life.

Karen Horney 38 quotes

The view that women are infan...

The view that women are infantile and emotional creatures, and as such, incapable of responsibility and independence is the work of the masculine tendency to lower women's self-respect.

Let me say to begin with: It is not neurotic to have conflict ... Conflicts within ourselves are an integral part of human life.

Karen Horney 38 quotes

To find a mountain path all by oneself gives a greater feeling of strength than to take a path that is shown.

Karen Horney 38 quotes

To experience conflicts knowi...

To experience conflicts knowingly, though it may be distressing, can be an invaluable asset. The more we face our own conflicts and seek out our own solutions, the more inner freedom and strength we will gain. Only when we are willing to bear the brunt can we approximate the ideal of being the captain of our ship. Spurious tranquillity rooted in inner dullness is anything but enviable. It is bound to make us weak and an easy prey to any kind of influence.

Karen Horney 38 quotes

the idea of a finished human ...

the idea of a finished human product not only appears presumptuous but even, in my opinion, lacks any strong appeal. Life is struggle and striving, development and growth - and analysis is one of the means that can help in this process. Certainly its positive accomplishments are important, but also the striving itself is of intrinsic value.

Karen Horney 38 quotes

There's still such chaos in me. Still so little firmly outlined. Just like my face: a formless mass that only takes on shape through the expression of the moment. The searching for our selves is the most agonizing

Karen Horney 38 quotes

Until I feel strong enough to pray sincerely and to act accordingly, I would rather not pray at all.

Karen Horney 38 quotes

Fortunately analysis is not the only way to resolve inner conflicts. Life itself still remains a very effective therapist.

Karen Horney 38 quotes

When one begins, as I did, to...

When one begins, as I did, to analyze men after a fairly long experience of analyzing women, one receives a most surprising impression of the intensity of this envy of pregnancy, childbirth, and motherhood, as well as of breasts and of the act of suckling.

The psychology of women hitherto actually represents a deposit of the desires and disappointments of men.
