Conditioning and Foretelling

The Führer once told his secretary that during one of the regular beatings given him by his father he was able to stop crying, to feel nothing, and even to count the thirty-two blows he received. 
As paraphrased by Alice Miller (1998)

  2. Thanks for reading my quote blog by the way! I used to keep a text document of quotes I liked, but awhile ago I decided a blog would be easier to keep them in, that and I got tags and such to sort them by. Always fun when someone else reads the quotes! ;-)
