I'll be Pavlov, you be the dog. -- William Stafford
The final war will be between Pavlov's dog and Schoedinger's Cat. -- Robert Anton Wilson
The truth is, Pavlov's dog trained Pavlov to ring this bell just before the dog salivated. -- George Carlin
Very, very good Pavlov, all your dogs have barked when you rang the bell. Your test was successful. -- Triple H
Men have been trained and conditioned by women, not unlike the way Pavlov conditioned his dogs, into becoming their slaves. -- Esther Vilar
I think [Ann Coulter] understands that, she's Pavlov's dog. She gets the corn kernel if she hits that drum once in a while. -- Dennis Miller
If we ever do end up acting just like rats or Pavlov's dogs, it will be largely because behaviorism has conditioned us to do so. -- Richard Rosen
Well, even to this day, if I smell a Big Mac, I'm like Pavlov's dog. My mouth starts watering immediately, like, 'Man, that is so good,' but I can't take a bite of it. -- Morgan Spurlock
Pavlov's findings were that some animals learned more quickly if rewarded (by affection, by food, by stroking) each time they showed the right response, while others learned more quickly when the penalty for not learning was a painful stimulus. -- Joost Meerloo
You dogs are smart enough to know that worry is something you do with a bone, and let it got at that. Even Pavlov couldn't do any more than prove that your brain is in your gut--something that you knew all along. -- Frank Loesser

Spirituality belongs to the eternal, and religion belongs to the temporal. Religion belongs to people's behavior. It is really what Pavlov, Skinner, Delgado and others call a conditioning of the behavior. The child is brought up by Christians - then he is conditioned in one way, he becomes a Christian. -- Rajneesh
I'd say 3/4 of advertising works on pure Pavlov. Think how association, pure association, works. Take Coca-Cola company (we're the biggest share-holder). They want to be associated with every wonderful image: heroics in the Olympics, wonderful music, you name it. They don't want to be associated with presidents' funerals and so-forth. -- Charlie Munger
I'm not close to him." He looked at me defiantly. "But he's put his whole life into this. He's no Freud or Jung or Pavlov or Watson, but he's doing something important and I respect his dedication - maybe even more because he's just an ordinary man trying to do a great man's work, while the great men are all busy making bombs. -- Daniel Keyes
