Famous quotes

  • « Psychology is the science of the intellects, characters and behavior of animals including man. »
    Edward Thorndike
  • « Our problem, from the point of view of psychology and from the point of view of genetic epistemology, is to explain how the transition is made from a lower level of knowledge to a level that is judged to be higher. »
    Jean Piaget
  • « Psychology is as important as substance. If you treat people with respect, they will go out of their way to accommodate you. If you treat them in a patronizing way, they will go out of their way to make your life difficult. »
    Mohamed ElBaradei
  • « I'm not really interested in sports psychology. It makes me feel like a crazy person. »
    Michelle Wie
  • « Customers don't know what they want. There's plenty of good psychology research that shows that people are not able to accurately predict how they would behave in the future. So asking them, 'Would you buy my product if it had these three features?' or 'How would you react if we changed our product this way?' is a waste of time. They don't know. »
    Eric Ries
