On Hope and Will

"Hope is both the earliest and the most indispensable virtue inherent in the state of being alive. [...] If life is to be sustained hope must remain, even where confidence is wounded, trust impaired. " (Human Strength and the Cycle of Generations, 1964)

“希望是一种持久的信念，相信热切的愿望是可以实现的，尽管黑暗的欲望和愤怒标志着存在的开始。希望是信仰的本体论基础，并由弥漫在关怀模式中的成人信仰滋养。”(Human Strength and the Cycle of Generations, 1964)

"Will, therefore, is the unbroken determination to exercise free choice as well as self-restraint, in spite of the unavoidable experience of shame and doubt in infancy." (Human Strength and the Cycle of Generations, 1964)

On Children

"The growing child must derive a vitalizing sense of reality from the awareness that his individual way of mastering experience (his ego synthesis) is a successful variant of a group identity and is in accord with its space-time and life plan." (Identity and the Life Cycle, 1959)

“怀疑是羞耻的兄弟。”（“自我同一性问题，”美国心理分析协会杂志, 1956)

"Despair expresses the feeling that time is short, too short for the attempt to start a new life and to try out alternate roads tointegrity. Such a despair is often hidden behind a show of disgust, a misanthropy, or a chronic contemptuous displeasure with particular institutions and particular people . . . Ego integrity, therefore, implies an emotional integration which permits participation by followership as well as acceptance of the responsibility of领导." (健康人格的成长和危机，1950)

论弗洛伊德

"What was Freud's Galapagos, what species fluttered what kinds of wings before his searching eyes? It has often been pointed out derisively: his creative laboratory was the neurologist's office, the dominant specieshysterical ladies." (第一个精神分析师, 1957)
