quotes by Anthony Storr

"One man's faith is another man's delusion"
— Anthony Storr

"[A:]voidance behavior is a response designed to protect the infant from behavioural disorganization. If we transfer this concept to adult life, we can see that an avoidant infant might very well develop into a person whose principal need was to find some kind of meaning and order in life which was not entirely, or even chiefly, dependent upon interpersonal relationships. "
— Anthony Storr (Solitude: A Return to the Self)

"Some split between the inner world and outer world is common to all behaviour, and the need to bridge the gap is the source of creative behaviour."
— Anthony Storr
