“The unconscious is not a demoniacal monster, but a natural entity which, as far as moral sense, aesthetic taste, and intellectual judgment go, is completely neutral.It only becomes dangerous when our conscious attitude to it is hopelessly wrong. To the degree that we repress it, its danger increases.” NaturalAttitudeMoralDangerousDangerTasteDegreesJudgmentIntellectualConsciousIncreaseMonstersUnconsciousAestheticEntity Book:The practice of psychotherapy Source: The practice of psychotherapy
“One of the scariest things to me was, I really feel like I'm a pretty even-keeled person with a good outlook and respect level, but in that environment, deep within the character, you see how easy it is to go to that place because you're one-upping each other and it's this heavy environment filled with young men trying to make an impression. It's dangerous. It's something that I became very conscious of afterwards.” MenFeelsTryingPersonsCharacterYoungEasyLevelsEnvironmentDangerousConsciousFilledHeavyImpressionYoung ManOutlookDeep Within Author:Nick Jonas
“I don't pay much attention to how the plays relate thematically to each other. I think that's very dangerous to do, because in the theater one is self-conscious enough without planning ahead or wondering about the thematic relation from one play to the next. One hopes that one is developing, and writing interestingly, and that's where it should end, I think.” ThinkingShouldWritingEndsSelfEnoughPlayNextPayAttentionWonderDangerousConsciousRelationTheaterPlanningDevelopingRelateSelf ConsciousThe Next OneThematicPlanning Ahead Book:Conversations with Edward Albee Source: Conversations with Edward Albee
“Every isolated passion, is, in isolation, insane; sanity may be defined as synthesis of insanities. Every dominant passion generates a dominant fear, the fear of its non-fulfillment. Every dominant fear generates a nightmare, sometimes in form of explicit and conscious fanaticism, sometimes in paralyzing timidity, sometimes in an unconscious or subconscious terror which finds expression only in dreams. The man who wishes to preserve sanity in a dangerous world should summon in his own mind a parliament of fears, in which each in turn is voted absurd by all the others.” MenWorldShouldMindMaySometimesDreamFormTurnsPassionWishDangerousExpressionConsciousTerrorAbsurdInsaneDefinedPreservesFulfillmentInsanityIsolationUnconsciousNightmareSanityIsolatedDominantSubconsciousParliamentFanaticismExplicitTimiditySynthesisDangerous World Author:Bertrand Russell
“What I am trying to do when I use symbols is to awaken in your unconscious some reaction. I am very conscious of what I am using because symbols can be very dangerous. When we use normal language we can defend ourselves because our society is a linguistic society, a semantic society. But when you start to speak, not with words, but only with images, the people cannot defend themselves.” PeopleTryingUseSpeakLanguageDangerousNormalConsciousReactionsSymbolsUnconsciousOur Society Author:Alejandro Jodorowsky
