A quotation from Montaigne

There is another kind of “glory”: conceiving too high an opinion of our worth. This is an undeserved feeling by which we value ourselves, and that makes us think ourselves different than we are, just as the passion of love lends beauties and graces to the object it embraces and makes those smitten by it — with their judgment blurred and altered — find what they love different, and more perfect, than it is.

[Il y a une autre sorte de gloire, qui est une trop bonne opinion, que nous concevons de nostre valeur. C’est un’affection inconsideree, dequoy nous nous cherissons, qui nous represente à nous mesmes, autres que nous ne sommes. Comme la passion amoureuse preste des beautez, & des graces, au subject qu’elle embrasse ; & fait que ceux qui en sont espris, trouvent d’un jugement trouble & alteré, ce qu’ils aiment, autre & plus parfait qu’il n’est.]

Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist
Essays, Book 2, ch. 17 (2.17), “Of Presumption [De la Presomption]” (1578) [tr. Atkinson/Sices (2012)]

The article examines how people consistently underestimate their influence in close relationships and how personal motives shape this bias. It uses data from multiple samples to show underestimation, with gender differences and links to self-protection, power, and commitment motives. The findings suggest a protective bias that may promote cooperation but could also mask true influence.

This topic is of interest to psychology readers because it highlights how perceived power within relationships interacts with attachment styles, personality traits, and cultural context, offering insight into relationship dynamics and communication patterns.

The article explores how employees who perceive themselves as physically attractive are more likely to speak up with new ideas at work, driven by a boosted sense of personal impact and social influence. The findings highlight that self-perceived attractiveness can function as a psychological resource that encourages employee voice, particularly for those who regard appearance as a valuable social asset.

This topic is of interest to psychology readers because it examines how self-perception and social cognition influence workplace behavior, including confidence, perceived influence, and the willingness to engage in promotive and prohibitive voice.

WIST Quotations Feb 20

A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

To know what you like is the beginning of wisdom and of old age. Youth is wholly experimental. The essence and charm of that unquiet and delightful epoch is ignorance of self as well as ignorance of life. These two unknowns the young man brings together again and again, now in the airiest touch, now with a bitter hug; now with exquisite pleasure, now with cutting pain; but never with indifference, to which he is a total stranger, and never with that near kinsman of indifference, contentment.

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
Essay (1888-09), “A Letter to a Young Gentleman who Proposes to Embrace the Career of Art,” Scribner’s Magazine, Vol. 4, No. 3
