“The voice of the intelligence is soft and weak, said Freud. It is drowned out by the roar of fear. It is ignored by the voice of desire. It is contradicted by the voice of shame. It is hissed away by hate, and extinguished by anger. Most of all it is silenced by ignorance.” DesireHateVoiceIgnorancePrejudiceAngerShameIgnoredBiased Author:Karl A. Menninger
