Alice Miller

Quotes

• “In my own therapy it was my experience that it was precisely the opposite of forgiveness —namely, rebellion against mistreatment suffered, the recognition and condemnation of my parents' destructive opinions and actions, and the articulation of my own needs— that ultimately freed me from the past.”

• “Clinging uncritically to traditional ideas and beliefs often serves to obscure or deny real facts of our life history.”

• “A genuine relationship is possible only if both partners can admit their feelings, experience them and communicate them to each other without fear.”

• “If one day the secret of childhood were to become no longer a secret, the state would be able to save immense sums that it spends on hospitals, psychiatric clinics, and prisons maintaining our blindness.”
