| �Dreams are not to be likened to the unregulated sounds that rise from a musical instrument struck by the blow of some external force instead of a player's hand; they are not meaningless, they are not absurd; ...they can be inserted into the chain of intelligible waking mental acts; they are constructed by a highly complicated activity of the mind.�
�Everything seemed to connect up, the whole worked well together, and one had the impression that the thing was really a machine and would soon go by itself... all that was perfectly clear, and still is.� �It is impossible to escape the impression that people commonly use false standards of measurement--that they seek power, success and wealth for themselves and admire them in others, and that they underestimate what is of true value in life.� �Man's judgments of value follow directly his wishes for happiness--they are an attempt to support his illusions with arguments.� �Not to know the past is to be in bondage to it, while to remember, to know, is to be set free.� �The inclination to aggression... constitutes the greatest impediment to civilization.� |
