  • Irvin D. Yalom Quote #1

    Asik seven kisi degildir; aslinda o sevdigi kisinin mutlak sahibi olmayi amaçlar. Bütün istegi tüm dünyayi o degerli malindan soyutlamaktir. Altinlari basinda nöbet tutan ejderha kadar alçak ruhludur. Dünyayi falan sevmez, tersine tüm diger canlilara karsi umursamazlik içindedir.


  • Irvin D. Yalom Quote #2

    Aynayi birakti. Kirk iki yil kalmisti! Kirk iki yil daha nasil dayanacakti? Kirk iki yil daha yillarin geçmesini bekleyecekti. Kirk iki yil daha yaslanan gözlerine bakacakti. Zaman hapishanesinden kaçmanin bir yolu yok muydu? Ah, keske tekrar en bastan baslayabilseydi! Ama nasil? Nereden? Kiminle? Bertha ile olmazdi. O özgürdü istedigi zaman onun hapishanesine girip çikar ya da uçup gidebilirdi. Üstelik onunla asla “biz” olunamazdi; “bizim” yasamimiz, “bizim” yeni yasamimiz mümkün olamazdi.

  • Irvin D. Yalom Quote #3

    Death anxiety is the mother of all religions, which, in one way or another, attempt to temper the anguish of our finitude.

  • Irvin D. Yalom Quote #4

    Despair is the price one pays for self-awareness. Look deeply into life, and you'll always find despair.

  • Irvin D. Yalom Quote #5

    Does a being who requires meaning find meaning in a universe that has no meaning?

  • Irvin D. Yalom Quote #6

    Dom nije mjesto - to je stanje svijesti.

  • Irvin D. Yalom Quote #7

    En çok çiy, en sessiz gecede düser.

  • Irvin D. Yalom Quote #8

    Encased in an elaborate illusion of unlimited power and progress, each of us subscribes, at least until one's midlife crisis, to the belief that existence consists of an eternal, upward spiral of achievement, dependent on will alone.
    This comforting illusion may be shattered by some urgent irreversible experience ... None more potently confronts us with finiteness and contingency than the imminence of our own death.

  • Irvin D. Yalom Quote #9

    Every person must choose how much truth he can stand.

  • Irvin D. Yalom Quote #10

    I dream of a love in which two people share a passion to search together for some higher truth. Perhaps I should not call it love. Perhaps it's real name is friendship.

  • Irvin D. Yalom Quote #11

    I think my quarry is illusion. I war against magic. I believe that, though illusion often cheers and comforts, it ultimately and invariably weakens and constricts the spirit.

  • Irvin D. Yalom Quote #12

    If I'm among men who don't agree at all with my nature, I will hardly be able to accommodate myself to them without greatly changing myself. A free man who lives among the ignorant strives as far as he can to avoid their favors. A free man
    acts honestly, not deceptively. Only free man are genuinely useful to one another and can form true friendships. And it's absolutely permissible, by the highest right of Nature, for everyone to employ clear reason to determine how to live in a way that will allow him to flourish.

  • Irvin D. Yalom Quote #13

    If we climb high enough, we will reach a height from which tragedy ceases to look tragic.

  • Irvin D. Yalom Quote #14

    insanin bütün eylemleri kendisine yöneliktir, bütün hizmetleri kendine hizmettir, bütün sevgisi kendini sevmesindendir.

  • Irvin D. Yalom Quote #15

    It is wrong to bear children out of need, wrong to use a child to alleviate loneliness, wrong to provide purpose in life by reproducing another copy of oneself. It is wrong also to seek immortality by spewing one's germ into the future as though sperm contains your consciousness!

  • Irvin D. Yalom Quote #16

    Life is a spark between two identical voids, the darkness before birth and the one after death.

  • Irvin D. Yalom Quote #17

    Marriage and its entourage of possession and jealousy enslave the spirit.

  • Irvin D. Yalom Quote #18

    Ondan baska hiçbir kadinin bana dokunmadigini biliyor musunuz? Hiç sevilmedigimi, hiç dokunulmadigimi? Tamamen gözlerden uzak bir yasam sürmenin nasil bir sey oldugunu biliyor musunuz? Kimseyle tek kelime etmedigim günler çoktur.

  • Irvin D. Yalom Quote #19

    Psychiatry is a strange field because, unlike any other field of medicine, you never really finish. Your greatest instrument is you, yourself, and the work of self-understanding is endless. I'm still learning.

  • Irvin D. Yalom Quote #20

    Sanki özgürmüsüz gibi yasamak zorundayiz. Yazgimizdan kaçamasak da onun karsisina dikilebilmeliyiz, alinyazimizi kendi irademizle yasamaliyiz. Yazgimizi sevmeliyiz

  • Irvin D. Yalom Quote #21

    Sehvet topuklarimizi kemiren bir orospudur! Ve bu orospudan bir parça et esirgendiginde bir parça ruh için yalvarmayi çok iyi becerir.

  • Irvin D. Yalom Quote #22

    Self-awareness is a supreme gift, a treasure as precious as life. This is what makes us human. But it comes with a costly price: the wound of mortality. Our existence is forever shadowed by the knowledge that we will grow, blossom, and, inevitably, diminish and die.

  • Irvin D. Yalom Quote #23

    Sombres, dites-vous? Mais posez-vous la question docteur : pourquoi tous les grands philosophes sont-ils sombres? Demandez-vous qui sont les gens satisfaits, rassurés et éternellement joyeux! Laissez-moi vous donner la réponse : ce sont ceux qui ont une mauvaise vue ? la populace et les enfants!

  • Irvin D. Yalom Quote #24

    Some day soon, perhaps in forty years, there will be no one alive who has ever known me. That's when I will be truly dead - when I exist in no one's memory. I thought a lot about how someone very old is the last living individual to have known some person or cluster of people. When that person dies, the whole cluster dies,too, vanishes from the living memory. I wonder who that person will be for me. Whose death will make me truly dead?

  • Irvin D. Yalom Quote #25

    Someone's got to do some more research, but I would really like to know: when a CBT therapist really gets distressed, who does he go see?

  • Irvin D. Yalom Quote #26

    Soru buydu. Onda aradigim neydi? Bende eksik olan neydi ? Iyi bir yasamim yok muydu? Yasamimin giderek geri dönülmez bir biçimde daralan bir dehlize dönüsmekte oldugunu kime anlatabilirim? Çektigim iskenceyi, uykusuz gecelerimi, intiharla flört etmemi kim anlayabilirdi?

  • Irvin D. Yalom Quote #27

    Spinoza was the supreme rationalist. He saw an endless stream of causality in the world. For him there is no such entity as will or will power. Nothing happens capriciously. Everything is caused by something prior, and the more we devote ourselves to the understanding of this causative network, the more free we become. ... I'm sure he would have said that you are subject to passions that are driven by inadequate ideas rather than by the ideas that flow from a true quest for understanding the nature of reality. ... He states explicitly that a passion ceases to be a passion as soon as we form a more clear and distinct idea of it--that is, the causative nexus underlying the passion. p.269

  • Irvin D. Yalom Quote #28

    Sterven is echter de eenzaamste gebeurtenis van het leven. We worden er niet alleen door van anderen afgescheiden, maar daarnaast stelt het ons ook bloot aan een nog angstaanjagender vorm van eenzaamheid: het is een scheiding van de wereld zelf.

  • Irvin D. Yalom Quote #29

    The creative members of an orthodoxy, any orthodoxy, ultimately outgrow their disciplines.

  • Irvin D. Yalom Quote #30

    The freedom of an unscheduled afternoon brought confusion rather than joy. Julius had always been focused. When he was not seeing patients, other important projects and activities-writing, teaching, tennis, research-clamored for his attention. But today nothing seemed important. He suspected that nothing had ever been important, that his mind had arbitrarily imbued projects with importance and then cunningly covered its traces. Today he saw through the ruse of a lifetime. Today there was nothing important to do, and he ambled aimlessly down Union Street.
