Results from Laura Moncur's Motivational Quotations:

As long as we respond predictably to what feels good and what feels bad, it is easy for others to exploit our preferences for their own ends.: Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience, 1990
The solution is to gradually become free of societal rewards and learn how to substitute for them rewards that are under one's own powers. This is not to say that we should abandon every goal endorsed by society; rather, it means that, in addition to or instead of the goals others use to bribe us with, we develop a set of our own.: Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience, 1990
A self that is only differentiated - not integrated - may attain great individual accomplishments, but risks being mired in self-centered egotism. By the same token, a person who self is based exclusively on integration will be well connected and secure, but lack autonomous individuality. Only when a person invests equal amounts of psychic energy in these two processes and avoids both selfishness and conformity is the self likely to relect complexity.: Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience, 1990
There are two main strategies we can adopt to improve the quality of life. The first is to try making external conditions match our goals. The second is to change how we experience external conditions to make them fit our goals better.: Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience, 1990
Pleasure is an important component of the quality of life, but by itself it does not bring happiness. Pleasure helps to maintain order, but by itself cannot create a new order in consciousness.: Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience, 1990
Repression is not the way to virtue. When people restrain themselves out of fear, their lives are by necessity diminished. Only through freely chosen discipline can life be enjoyed and still kept within the bounds of reason.: Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience, 1990
Entropy is the normal state of consciousness - a condition that is neither useful nor enjoyable.: Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience, 1990
People without an internalized symbolic system can all too easily become captives of the media.: Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience, 1990
Without the capacity to provide its own information, the mind drifts into randomness.: Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience, 1990
A person who forgoes the use of his symbolic skills is never really free.: Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience, 1990
