Suggestibility Quotes
His overriding lesson for thinkers like Hutton was that scientists, even those occupied by an apparently ‘concrete' discipline like geology, need to be careful not just about what they claim to know but also about how they claim to know it. Human reason is a fragile thing and prone to be overthrown by suggestibility.
Stephen Baxter
Some individuals may themselves be deceived by the compelling words of other individuals, but a much more significant number fall into the same state after being hypnotised by continuous eye-fixation upon an object and concentration of mind. This state can even be established before the eyelids are closed or a pronounced tendency to sleep has been felt. Suggestibility can also be increased by the sight of other patients in the experiment, and that by virtue of the laws of sympathy and imitation.
James Braid
Suggestibility varies as the amount of disaggregation, and inversely as the unification of consciousness.
Boris Sidis
If a poet interprets a poem of his own he limits its suggestibility.
William Butler Yeats
