• Por el bien de mis hijos y nietos, espero que el talento humano para la autodestrucción pueda controlarse con éxito, o al menos canalizarse hacia formas productivas, pero lo dudo. Creo que nos adentramos en tiempos extremadamente volátiles y peligrosos, ya que las modernas tecnologías electrónicas otorgan a la humanidad poderes casi ilimitados para jugar con su propia psicopatología como un juego.

• Que las personas se den cuenta claramente de que cada vez que amenazan a alguien o humillan o hieren innecesariamente o dominan o rechazan a otro ser humano, se convierten en fuerzas para la creación de psicopatología, aunque se trate de fuerzas pequeñas. Que reconozcan que cada persona que es amable, servicial, decente, psicológicamente democrática, afectuosa y cálida, es una fuerza psicoterapéutica, aunque sea pequeña.

  Abraham Maslow

• El hecho de que millones de personas compartan los mismos vicios no convierte a estos vicios en virtudes, el hecho de que compartan tantos errores no convierte a los errores en verdades, y el hecho de que millones de personas compartan la misma forma de patología mental no convierte a estas personas en cuerdas.

• It is tempting when looking at the life of anyone who has committed suicide to read into the decision to die a vastly complex web of reasons; and, of course, such complexity is warranted. No one illness or event causes suicide; and certainly no one knows all, or perhaps even most, of the motivations behind the killing of the self. But psychopathology is almost always there, and its deadliness is fierce. Love, success, and friendship are not always enough to counter the pain and destructiveness of severe mental illness

• ...Virtually never are murderers the ordinary, law-abiding people against whom gun bans are aimed. Almost without exception, murderers are extreme aberrants with lifelong histories of crime, substance abuse, psychopathology, mental retardation and/or irrational violence against those around them, as well as other hazardous behavior, e.g., automobile and gun accidents.

• To one completely committed to this realm of becoming, as are the empiricists, the claim to apprehend verities is a sign of psychopathology. Probably we have here but a highly sophisticated expression of the doctrine that ideals are hallucination and that the only normal, sane person is the healthy extrovert, making instant, instinctive adjustments to the stimuli of the material world.

• He had learned that close-held secrets could often be cracked by going all the way to the top and there making himself unbearably unpleasant. He knew that such twisting of the tiger's tail was dangerous, for he understood the psychopathology of great power.

• Anger is generally seen as an unwelcome presence in our midst, however natural it may be. Although each person, and each society, is charged with how anger is to be appropriately channeled, the denial of anger, or its continuous repression, is a deep source of our psychopathology and will invariably seek its expression in a less healthful fashion.
