  1. Irvin D. Yalom _ When Nietzsche Wept

    {…} dat er een basisindeling is in de wegen van de mens: zij die gemoedsrust en geluk verlangen moeten geloven en het geloof omarmen, terwijl zij die de waarheid willen zoeken van gemoedsrust moeten afzien en hun leven moeten wijden aan onderzoek. {…} U moet kiezen tussen vertroosting en werkelijk onderzoek! Als u de wetenschap kiest, als u verkiest bevrijd te worden uit de ketenen van het bovennatuurlijke, als u, zoals u beweert, verkiest het geloof te mijden en de goddeloosheid te omarmen, dan kunt u niet in één adem door hunkeren naar de kleine vertroostingen van de gelovige! Als u God doodt, moet u ook de beschutting van de tempel verlaten. {p. 193}

  2. Irvin D. Yalom _ When Nietzsche Wept

    ¿Sabe lo que es saber que, cuando muera, pueden pasar días o semanas sin que se descubra mi cuerpo, antes de que el olor fétido atraiga a algún extraño? Intento consolarme. A veces, cuando me siento más solo, hablo conmigo mismo.No demasiado alto, porque temo mi propio eco vacío.

  4. Slavoj Žižek _ The Sublime Object of Ideology

    Σε ένα σύμπαν όπου όλοι αναζητάμε το αληθινό πρόσωπο κάτω από το προσωπείο, ο καλύτερος τρόπος να παραπλανήσουμε είναι να φορέσουμε το προσωπείο της ίδιας της αλήθειας

  5. Martin Gardner _ The Annotated Alice: The

    The rub is that any work of nonsense abounds with so many inviting symbols that you can start with any assumption you please about the author and easily build up an impressive case for it. Consider, for example, the scene in which Alice seizes the end of the White King's pencil and begins scribbling for him. In five minutes one can invent six different interpretations.

    We cannot escape our origins, however hard we try, those origins which contain the key -could we but find it- to all we later become

  7. Terry Eagleton _ Literary Theory: An

    If this constant sliding and hiding of meaning were true of conscious life, then we would of course never be able to speak coherently at all. If the whole of language were present to me when I spoke, then I would not be able to articulate anything at all. The ego, or consciousness, can therefore only work by repressing this turbulent activity, provisionally nailing down words on to meanings. Every now and then a word from the unconscious which I do not want insinuates itself into my discourse, and this is the famous Freudian slip of the tongue or parapraxis. But for Lacan all our discourse is in a sense a slip of the tongue: if the process of language is as slippery and ambiguous as he suggests, we can never mean precisely what we say and never say precisely what we mean. Meaning is always in some sense an approximation, a near-miss, a part-failure, mixing non-sense and non-communication into sense and dialogue.

    When you want to know how things really work, study them when they're coming apart.

  9. Ursula K. Le Guin _ From Elfland to Poughkeepsie

    A fantasy is a journey. It is a journey into the subconscious mind, just as psychoanalysis is. Like psychoanalysis, it can be dangerous; and it will change you.

  10. Jodi Picoult _ House Rules

    In psychoanalytical theory there is a phenomenon called transference. The therapist becomes a blank screen, onto which the patient projects some incident or feeling that began in childhood... it would not be a far reach for someone to look at my feelings for Jess and assume that, in the context of our relationship as tutor and pupil, I am not in love. I'm just in transference.

  12. C.G. Jung _ Answer to Job

    The difference between the "natural" individuation process, which runs its course unconsciously, and the one which is consciously realized, is tremendous. In the first case consciousness nowhere intervenes; the end remains as dark as the beginning. In the second case so much darkness comes to light that the personality is permeated with light, and consciousness necessarily gains in scope and insight. The encounter between conscious and unconscious has to ensure that the light which shines in the darkness is not only comprehended by the darkness, but comprehends it. The filius solis et lunae {the son of the Sun and Moon} is the possible result as well as the symbol of this union of opposites. It is the alpha and omega of the process, the mediator and intermedius. "It has a thousand names," say the alchemists, meaning that the source from which the individuation process rises and the goal toward which it aims is nameless, ineffable.
