Vernon Johnson quotes
-
“It is a myth that alcoholics have some spontaneous insight and then seek treatment. Victims of this disease do not submit to treatment out of spontaneous insight - typically, in our experience they come to their recognition scenes through a buildup of crises that crash through their almost impenetrable defense systems. They are forced to seek help; and when they don't, they perish miserably.”
-- Vernon Johnson -
“Be ashamed to die until you have done something good for mankind.”
-- Vernon Johnson

“They said you had to take what the defense gave you. No, we are going to take what we want.”
-
“Life is an incurable disease.”
Source : "To Dr. Scarborough" l. 111 (1656)
-
“But just disease to luxury succeeds, And ev'ry death its own avenger breeds.”
-
“Put aside ambition for public recognition, and simply do what you do because it feels good inside.”
