Pavlov quotes ~
• “It is clear to all that the animal organism is a highly complex system consisting of an almost infinite series of parts connected both with one another and, as a total complex, with the surrounding world, with which it is in a state of equilibrium.”
• “It has long been known for sure that the sight of tasty food makes a hungry man's mouth water; also lack of appetite has always been regarded as an undesirable phenomenon, from which one might conclude that appetite is essentially linked with the process of digestion.”

The Perls had fled Nazi Germany in 1933, settling in South Africa where they were influenced by statesman Jan Smuts philosopy of holism, the “idea that all the properties of a system as a whole determines in an important way how the parts behave.” Gestalt therapy process enhances awareness of the present situation and personal responsibility.

Fritz Perls quote ~
• “I do my thing and you do your thing.
I am not in this world to live up to your expectations,
And you are not in this world to live up to mine.
You are you, and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, it's beautiful.
If not, it can't be helped.”
