莎士比亚有言：of all base passions, self abating is the most accursed.

培根说，self conceit and self abasement are a pair of twins: the former deceives and the latter degrades.

弗洛伊德也有评论：Inferiority complex is a seed sown by the devil in the soil of soul and, when grown, it erodes and eventually erases all virtues.

现代莎翁之称的萧伯纳称：inferiority is the shortcut to the hell of soul.

马克思评伯恩斯坦时抨击了他的自卑：the form of his inferiority is marked by his fear to square up to  the truths.

现代一个心理学家曾这出有两种自卑：

一型 convergent: 内敛型，害己不害人

二型divergent: 外放型，害己更害人

反文化者，象言痴，都是自卑作怪，而且是二型的。
