Many psychotherapists believe laziness is usually just the symptom. That the real problem is fear of failure, fear of success, or fear of authority.

Marty Nemko

There's only one passion in most artists more violent than their desire for admiration: their fear of identifying the nature of such admiration as they do receive.

Ayn Rand

I wonder sometimes if the motivation for writers ought to be contempt, not admiration.

Orson Scott Card

Between flattery and admiration there often flows a river of contempt.

Minna Antrim

Familiarity breeds contempt, while rarity wins admiration.

Apuleius

Though familiarity may not breed contempt, it takes off the edge of admiration.

William Hazlitt

What I have known with respect to myself, has tended much to lessen both my admiration, and my contempt, of others.

Joseph Priestley

A man's admiration of absolute government is proportionate to the contempt he feels for those around him.

Alexis de Tocqueville

Contempt is the only asymmetrical expression in the muscular facial system: Disgust, fear, happiness, surprise and anger typically express themselves symmetrically. Contempt is marked by one lip corner pulled up and in a dismissive sneer.

Pamela Meyer

Impelled by feelings that were primal yet paradoxically wholly impersonal. Feelings of contempt born of inchoate, unacknowledged fear--civilization's fear of nature, men's fear of women, power's fear of powerlessness. Man's subliminal urge to destroy what he could neither subdue nor deify.

Arundhati Roy

Those who are condemned to death affect sometimes a constancy and contempt for death which is only the fear of facing it; so that one may say that this constancy and contempt are to their mind what the bandage is to their eyes.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

Admiration for ourselves and our institutions is too often measured by our contempt and dislike for foreigners.

William Ralph Inge

The fear of appearances is the first symptom of impotence.

Fyodor Dostoevsky

If admiration were not generally deemed the exclusive property of the rich, and contempt the constant lackey of poverty, the love of gain would cease to be an universal problem.

William Godwin

The best emotions to write out of are anger and fear or dread. The least energizing emotion to write out of is admiration. It is very difficult to write out of because the basic feeling that goes with admiration is a passive contemplative mood.

Susan Sontag

I believe that writer's block is a symptom. It's not a disease, it's the symptom of a disease. So what I try to do is kind of do it like 'House'; write down the symptom and write down the other symptoms. Try to work backwards to figure out what the problem is.

Cassandra Clare
