Summary

This quote suggests that in order to effectively connect with clients and establish a therapeutic relationship, therapists should employ a combination of humor and a lack of control. By using humor, the therapist can create rapport and build a connection with the client. Furthermore, by relinquishing control, the therapist allows the client to place them in their own "quality world" - a concept that refers to the individual's personal framework of preferred experiences and relationships. This acceptance fosters the client's willingness to relate to the therapist and actively seek their support, thus forming the foundation of effective therapy.

Advertisers are the interpreters of our dreams -- Joseph interpreting for Pharaoh. Like the movies, they infect the routine futility of our days with purposeful adventure. Their weapons are our weaknesses: fear, ambition, illness, pride, selfishness, desire, ignorance. And these weapons must be kept as bright as a sword.

I have always felt that a woman has the right to treat the subject of her age with ambiguity until, perhaps, she passes into the realm of over ninety. Then it is better she be candid with herself and the world.

In 1736 I lost one of my sons, a fine boy of four years old, by the small-pox, taken in the common way. I long regretted bitterly, and still regret that I had not given it to him by inoculation. This I mention for the sake of parents who omit that operation, on the supposition that they should never forgive themselves if a child died under it; my example showing that the regret may be the same either way, and that, therefore, the safer should be chosen.
