I don’t know who this is, but I like his quotes, Thomas Szasz. Some of my favorites:

“When a person can no longer laugh at himself, it is time for others to laugh at him.”

“People often say that this or that person has not yet found himself. But the self is not something that one finds. It is something one creates.”

“Institutional psychiatry is a continuation of the Inquisition. All that has really changed is the vocabulary and the social style. The vocabulary conforms to the intellectual expectations of our age: it is a pseudo-medical jargon that parodies the concepts of science. The social style conforms to the political expectations of our age: it is a pseudo-liberal social movement that parodies the ideals of freedom and rationality.”

“Men are afraid to rock the boat in which they hope to drift safely through life’s currents, when, actually, the boat is stuck on a sandbar. They would be better off to rock the boat and try to shake it loose, or, better still, jump in the water and swim for the shore.”

“There is no psychology; there is only biography and autobiography.”

“It is easier to do one’s duty to others than to one’s self. If you do your duty to others, you are considered reliable. If you do your duty to yourself, you are considered selfish.”

“In the animal kingdom, the rule is, eat or be eaten; in the human kingdom, define or be defined.”

“The proverb warns; ‘’Don’t bite the hand that feeds you.'’ But maybe you should, if it prevents you from feeding yourself.”
