“But it isn't only the terror everywhere, and the fear of being conscious of it, that freezes people. It's more than that. People know they are in a society dead or dying. They are refusing emotion because at the end of very emotion are property, money, power. They work and despise their work, and so freeze themselves. They love but know that it's a half- love or a twisted love, and so they freeze themselves.” PeopleKnowsEndsEmotionHalfPowerDyingConsciousPropertyTerrorDespiseTwistedFreezeMoney Power Book:The Golden Notebook Source: The Golden Notebook
“He [Aristotle] pointed out that people who had become initiates in the various mystery religions were not required to learn any facts 'but to experience certain emotions and to be put in a certain disposition.' Hence his famous literary theory that tragedy effected a purification (katharsis) of the emotions of terror and pity that amounted to an experience of rebirth.” PeopleFactsCertainEmotionMysteryTheoryTragedyTerrorVariousPityDispositionRebirthInitiatePurificationLiterary Theory Author:Karen Armstrong
“When I was a child and I was upset about something, my mother was not capable of containing that emotion, of letting me be upset but reassuring me, of just being with me in a calming way. She always got in a flap, so I not only had my own baby panics, fears and terrors to deal with, but I had to cope with hers, too. Eventually I taught myself to remain calm when I was panicked, in order not to upset her. In a way, she had managed to put me in charge of her. At 18 months old, I was doing the parenting.” WayChildrenMotherOrderMy OwnDealsEmotionTaughtBabyMonthsCapableCalmTerrorUpsetPanicJust BeingContainingCalmingReassuring Author:John Cleese
