“The Future is distant, like the Past, and therefore sentimental. The mere element "Past" must be retained to sponge up and absorb our melancholy. Everything absent, remote, requiring projection in the veiled weakness of the mind, is sentimental.” MindPastElementsWeaknessMereMelancholySentimentalProjectionAbsentSponges Book:Blast Source: Blast
“To the "masculists" of both sexes, "femininity" implies all that men have built into the female image in the past few centuries: weakness, imbecility, dependence, masochism, unreliability, and a certain "babydoll" sexuality that is actually only a projection of male dreams. To the "feminist" of both sexes, femininity is synonymous with the eternal female principle, connoting strength, integrity, wisdom, justice, dependability, and a psychic power foreign and therefore dangerous to the plodding masculists of both sexes.” MenDreamPastCertainSexJusticePrinciplesCenturyDangerousIntegrityEternalWeaknessBuiltFemaleMalesFeministSexualityDependencePsychicsFemininityProjectionMasochismImbecilityDependabilityUnreliability Author:Elizabeth Gould Davis
