• Freud, pensaba Jung, había sido un gran descubridor de hechos sobre la mente, pero demasiado inclinado a abandonar el sólido terreno de la "razón crítica y el sentido común". Freud, por su parte, criticó a Jung por ser crédulo respecto a los fenómenos ocultos y estar encaprichado con las religiones orientales; veía con escepticismo sardónico y sin paliativos la defensa que Jung hacía de los sentimientos religiosos como un elemento integral de la salud mental. Para Freud, la religión era una necesidad psicológica proyectada sobre la cultura, el sentimiento de impotencia del niño que sobrevivía en los adultos, para ser analizado en lugar de admirado.

• El hombre ha tratado de tomar del mundo natural no sólo lo necesario para su estabilidad y supervivencia, sino que a menudo busca satisfacer sus necesidades psicológicas percibidas y, en última instancia, falsas, como su necesidad de exhibición personal, lujos y cosas por el estilo. El veinte por ciento de la humanidad consume el ochenta por ciento de la riqueza mundial y es responsable de un porcentaje igual de las catástrofes ecológicas del mundo.

• Aunque nuestras escuelas de gramática están enseñando a toda una generación lenguaje informático para ajustarse a las necesidades tecnológicas de una sociedad de Fase II [post centrada en la supervivencia], hemos descuidado enseñar a esta generación lenguaje relacional y habilidades de resolución de conflictos para abordar las necesidades sociales y psicológicas de una sociedad de Fase II. Y cuando se enseña, en países como Alemania, aunque se denomina competencia social, se centra en el trabajo en equipo en el lugar de trabajo, es decir, en los objetivos laborales orientados a la supervivencia y al sostén de la familia.

• Does religion fill a much needed gap? It is often said that there is a God-shaped gap in the brain which needs to be filled: we have a psychological need for God -- imaginary friend, father, big brother, confessor, confidant -- and the need has to be satisfied whether God really exists or not. But could it be that God clutters up a gap that we'd be better off filling with something else? Science, perhaps? Art? Human friendship? Humanism? Love of this life in the real world, giving no credence to other lives beyond the grave?

  Richard Dawkins

• I'm very interested in buildings that adapt to changes in climatic conditions according to the seasons, buildings capable of responding to our physical and psychological needs in the way that clothing does. We don't turn on the air-conditioning as we walk through the streets in high summer. Instead, we change the character of the clothing by which we are protected. Layering and changeability: this is the key.
