Repressed Quotes

Unless technology itself is drastically repressed, the idea of the dystopian monoculture like Orwell’s 1984 gets harder to believe. But the danger of a solipsistic society will grow, of a disconnected society of mirror-watchers and navel-gazers Picture Quote #1

The gay life is filled with as much cruelty and loneliness as the heterosexual life... I search into my dreams or desires and try to ask myself how these feelings can be made into concrete images... Are they really abnormal, or are they trying to tell us something we have repressed about ourselves, something we don’t want to see, something about the darker side of the human condition itself? Picture Quote #1

Dont you think dreams and the Internet are similar? They are both areas where the repressed conscious mind vents Picture Quote #1

Suspicions among thoughts are like bats amongst birds, they ever fly to twilight; they are to be repressed, or, at least, well guarded, for they cloud the mind Picture Quote #1

Sex is probably one of the last forms of human expression to enjoy such a direct connection with nature. It might be the primary site of conflict between nature and culture. If one assumes that nature (or instinct) is repressed in a highly civilised society, then I think the conceptual dyad nature-culture is best preserved there, in the realm of sex Picture Quote #1

In every new generation, the impulses supposed to have been rooted out by discipline in the child break forth again when the struggle for existence - of the individual in society, of the society in the life of the state - begins. These passions are not transformed by the prevalent education of the day, but only repressed Picture Quote #1

I was brought up by the English side of my family, who are very repressed and working class. Absolutely lovely, but very English Picture Quote #1

You know, I’m gay and I grew up being aware of that at a very early age, in a fairly repressed family Picture Quote #1

Frugality and economy are virtues without which no household can prosper. Whatever the income, waste of all kinds should be most sternly repressed... Economy and frugality must never, however, be allowed to degenerate into meanness Picture Quote #1

There is only one essential difference between consciousness and dreaming, and that is sensory input. Your experience is a dream, so is my experience. This stuff about how the frontal cortext is repressed during dreaming. Lucid dreaming presents an obvious contradiction to it. The only difference is sensory input Picture Quote #1

My folks were raised pure prohibitionist. They were very good people, with high moral standards - but very repressed. There was no hugging and kissing in my home Picture Quote #1

Good analysts and therapists can help us to recognize parts of ourselves we have repressed and denied. The shamanic concept of soul loss reaches further. It recognizes that soul healing is also about retrieving pieces of soul that have literally gone missing and need to be located and persuaded to return and take up residence in the body where they belong Picture Quote #1

When the female voice is repressed and stifled, the entire community can easily find themselves cut off from the sacred feminine, depriving themselves of the full image of god Picture Quote #1

If I were to sum up the negative reactions to my work, I think there are two primary causes: one is that if there is discourse about anxiety it is necessarily going to induce anxiety. It will represent a return of the repressed for a great many people Picture Quote #1

I drink booze, I smoke, and I'm hooked on caffeine. I actually have been known to swear at times and belch and even raise my voice when provoked. And I'm not physically repressed! Picture Quote #1

The law which attempts a man’s life is impractical, unjust, inadmissible. It has never repressed crime - for a second crime is every day committed at the foot of the scaffold Picture Quote #1

And I think my sexuality was heavily repressed by the church, by the, you know, the design of the mortal sins Picture Quote #1

I like repressed characters. That gives me a lot of freedom to make a lot of different choices through subtleties Picture Quote #1

Perhaps the best function of parenthood is to teach the young creature to love with safety, so that it may be able to venture unafraid when later emotion comes; the thwarting of the instinct to love is the root of all sorrow and not sex only but divinity itself is insulted when it is repressed. To disapprove, to condemn the human soul shrivels under barren righteousness Picture Quote #1

I guess I’m just good at playing repressed individuals. I’m lucky because those are often the roles that catch people’s eyes Picture Quote #1

Without realizing that the past is constantly determining their present actions, they avoid learning anything about their history. They continue to live in their repressed childhood situation, ignoring the fact that is no longer exists, continuing to fear and avoid dangers that, although once real, have not been real for a long time Picture Quote #1

I suspect it was... the old story of the implacable necessity of a man having honour within his own natural spirit. A man cannot live and temper his mettle without such honour. There is deep in him a sense of the heroic quest; and our modern way of life, with its emphasis on security, its distrust of the unknown and its elevation of abstract collective values has repressed the heroic impulse to a degree that may produce the most dangerous consequences Picture Quote #1

I would say to any artist: Don’t be repressed in your work, dare to experiment, consider any urge, if in a new direction all the better Picture Quote #1

Didn’t we all have dreams when we were young? But the reality of making a living took over when we had to pay our bills, rent our apartments, raise our families, and take care of others. We sacrificed our dreams, repressed them, or delegated them to the background until they were so far away that we forgot they ever existed Picture Quote #1

In those who rest on their unshakable faith, pharisaism and fanaticism are the unmistakable symptoms of doubt which has been repressed. Doubt is not overcome by repression but by courage. Courage does not deny that there is doubt, but it takes the doubt into itself as an expression of its own finitude and affirms the content of an ultimate concern. Courage does not need the safety of an unquestionable conviction. It includes the risk without which no creative life is possible Picture Quote #1

If you risked love, it took you wherever you wanted to go. If you repressed it, you ended up unhappy Picture Quote #1

I think I have a repressed bent for the military, I like discipline without question, specific schedules and duties Picture Quote #1

Wine gives a man nothing. It neither gives him knowledge nor wit; it only animates a man, and enables him to bring out what a dread of the company has repressed. It only puts in motion what had been locked up in frost Picture Quote #1

The truth about childhood, as many of us have had to endure it, is inconceivable, scandalous, painful. Not uncommonly, it is monstrous. Invariably, it is repressed. To be confronted with this truth all at once and to try to integrate it into our consciousness, however ardently we may wish it, is clearly impossible Picture Quote #1

The onset of mania occurs when repression is no longer able to resist the assaults of the repressed instincts Picture Quote #1
