Famous Karl Menninger Quotes

“The voice of the intelligence is soft and weak, said Freud. It is drowned out by the roar of fear. It is ignored by the voice of desire. It is contradicted by the voice of shame. It is hissed away by hate, and extinguished by anger. Most of all it is silenced by ignorance.”

Karl Menninger

The Progressive (October 1955)

“Unrest of spirit is a mark of life.”

Karl Menninger

The Week (October 16, 1958)

“It is a strange and dismal thing that in a world of such need, such opportunity and such variety as ours, the search for an illusory peace of mind should go so zealously pursued and defended, while truth goes languishing.”

Karl Menninger

The Week (October 16, 1958)
