“—Cuando se hace referencia a las emociones básicas y universales —inició éste su predicamento, apenas audible por el murmullo de la plaza—, se está aludiendo a cuatro emociones negativas (el miedo, la rabia, el asco y la tristeza), y a dos positivas (la sorpresa y la alegría). Al analizar su impacto, se ha descubierto algo que se desconocía totalmente y que ha transformado los mecanismos de comunicación y aprendizaje de cara al futuro. »El predominio de tantas emociones negativas, la gran mayoría, obedecerá a alguna razón; si han sobrevivido tantos años será porque cumplen algún objetivo evolutivo. Tal vez es inútil intentar suprimir erradicándolos el miedo, la ira, el asco o desprecio y la tristeza. Tal vez lo que cuenta, lo que ha permitido garantizar la supervivencia de los humanos, ha sido el aprendizaje de la gestión del miedo o la tristeza.”

“Her constant orders for beheading are shocking to those modern critics of children's literature who feel that juvenile fiction should be free of all violence and especially violence with Freudian undertones. Even the Oz books of L. Frank Baum, so singularly free of the horrors to be found in Grimm and Andersen, contain many scenes of decapitation. As far as I know, there have been no empirical studies of how children react to such scenes and what harm if any is done to their psyche. My guess is that the normal child finds it all very amusing and is not damaged in the least, but that books like Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and The Wizard of Oz should not be allowed to circulate indiscriminately among adults who are undergoing analysis.”
