Alice Miller Quotes

Genuine forgiveness does not deny anger but faces it head-on Picture Quote #1

Nobody is born evil Picture Quote #1

Problems cannot be solved with words, but only through experience Picture Quote #1

It is precisely because a child’s feelings are so strong that they cannot be repressed without serious consequences. The stronger a prisoner is, the thicker the prison walls have to be, which impede or completely prevent later emotional growth Picture Quote #1

Don’t ever dare to take your college as a matter of course - because, like democracy and freedom, many people you’ll never know have broken their hearts to get it for you Picture Quote #1

If it’s very painful for you to criticize your friends - you’re safe in doing it. But if you take the slightest pleasure in it, that’s the time to hold your tongue Picture Quote #1

It is possible to resolve childhood repression safely and without confusion - something that has always been disputed by the most respected schools of thought Picture Quote #1

All children are born to grow, to develop, to live, to love, and to articulate their needs and feelings for their self-protection Picture Quote #1

The free expression of resentment against one’s parents represents a great opportunity. It provides access to one’s true self, reactivates numbed feelings, opens the way for mourning and - with luck - reconciliation Picture Quote #1

I sincerely believe that we not only have the right to know what is good and what is evil; we have the duty to acquire that knowledge if we hope to assume responsibility for our own lives and those of our children. Only by knowing the truth can we be set free Picture Quote #1

Anyone who has ever been a mother or father and is at all honest knows from experience how difficult it can be for parents to accept certain aspects of their children. It is especially painful to have to admit this if we really love our child and want to respect his or her individuality yet are unable to do so Picture Quote #1

Every life and every childhood is filled with frustrations; we cannot imagine it otherwise, for even the best mother cannot satisfy all her child’s wishes and needs. It is not the suffering caused by frustration, however, that leads to emotional illness, but rather the fact that the child is forbidden by the parents to experience and articulate this suffering, the pain felt at being wounded Picture Quote #1

The father receives his power from God (and from his own father). The teacher finds the soil already prepared for obedience, and the political leader has only to harvest what has been sown Picture Quote #1

For some years now, there has been proof that the devastating effects of the traumatization of children take their inevitable tollon society--a fact that we are still forbidden to recognize. This knowledge concerns every single one of us, and--if disseminated widely enough--should lead to fundamental changes in society; above all, to a halt in the blind escalation of violence Picture Quote #1

Don’t ever dare to take your college as a matter of course - because, like democracy and freedom, many people you’ll never know have broken their hearts to get it for you Picture Quote #1

In the short term, corporal punishment may produce obedience. But it is a fact documented by research that in the long term the results are inability to learn, violence and rage, bullying, cruelty, inability to feel another’s pain, especially that of one’s own children, even drug addiction and suicide, unless there are enlightened or at least helping witnesses on hand to prevent that development Picture Quote #1

We produce destructive people by the way we are treating them in childhood Picture Quote #1

Disrespect is the weapon of the weak Picture Quote #1

Emotional access to the truth is the indispensable precondition of healing Picture Quote #1

The truth about our childhood is stored up in our body, and although we can repress it, we can never alter it. Our intellect can be deceived, our feelings manipulated, and conceptions confused, and our body tricked with medication. But someday our body will present its bill, for it is as incorruptible as a child, who, still whole in spirit, will accept no compromises or excuses, and it will not stop tormenting us until we stop evading the truth Picture Quote #1

The victimization of children is nowhere forbidden; what is forbidden is to write about it Picture Quote #1

Empathy grows as we learn Picture Quote #1

Courage can be just as infectious as fear Picture Quote #1

One can only remember what has been consciously experienced Picture Quote #1

Today I should not be identified with any kind of regressive therapy Picture Quote #1

Parents are indeed capable of routinely torturing their children without anyone interceding Picture Quote #1

Hard as it is to believe, in the entire world there is not a single faculty in which a degree is offered in the study of psychic injuries in childhood Picture Quote #1

If one day the secret of childhood were to become no longer a secret, the state would be able to save immense sums that it spends on hospitals, psychiatric clinics, and prisons maintaining our blindness. That this might deliberately happen is almost too incredible a thought Picture Quote #1

It is not true that evil, destructiveness, and perversion inevitably form part of human existence, no matter how often this is maintained. But it is true that we are daily producing more evil and, with it, an ocean of suffering for millions that is absolutely avoidable. When one day the ignorance arising from childhood repression is eliminated and humanity has awakened, an end can be put to this production of evil Picture Quote #1

Clinging uncritically to traditional ideas and beliefs often serves to obscure or deny real facts of our life history Picture Quote #1
