Automatic Thoughts Quotes

“I’ve gotta stop thinking I know what other people think, cause most of ‘what other people think’ is something I’m making up. So I should just let them have their experience, I’ll have my experience and not pretend to know, and just get past that. [I think that] is a major obstacle: manifesting that insecurity, that fear. Believing the audience in your head as opposed to what’s really going on in the world—not responding to the one I’m making up, which is always going to judge me harder than the real one.”
― Marc Maron

“You say that this society will come to an end, because societies always have done so.
I wonder whether they have ended because they were not really societies at all.”
― Idries Shah, Reflections
