Morton Irving Seiden quotes:

Every attempt to explain human behavior, especially the irrational, must as a matter of course end in simplification.

In these anxious times many of us are less astonished that reason is ever suspended than that it should ever prevail, even during the briefest of intervals.

It is only too easy to compel a sensitive human being to feel guilty about anything.

What astonishes many of us is not so much that human nature is fundamentally corrupt; we are astonished rather that it does not behave more wickedly than it obviously does.
