Quotes by Willard Gaylin

• A man may not always be what he appears to be, but what he appears to be is always a significant part of what he is.
• A street thug and a paid killer are professionals - beasts of prey, if you will, who have dissociated themselves from the rest of humanity and can now see human beings in the same way that trout fishermen see trout.
• Expressing anger is a form of public littering.
• To probe for unconscious determinants of behavior and then define a man in their terms exclusively, ignoring his overt behavior altogether, is a greater distortion than ignoring the unconscious completely.
