Repressed Quotes

Unexplained pain may sometimes direct our attention to something unacknowledged, something we are afraid to know or feel. Then it holds us to our integrity, claiming the attention we withhold. The thing which calls our attention may be a repressed experience or some unexpressed and important part of who we are. Whatever we have denied may stop us and dam the creative flow of our lives. Avoiding pain, we may linger in the vicinity of our wounds, sometime for many years, gathering the courage to experience them Picture Quote #1

Very devoted religious people are so extroverted, but at the same time, they’re so repressed sexually and so conservative. I’ve never been able to understand that combination, but I’m fascinated by it Picture Quote #1

There is always something taboo, something repressed, unadmitted, or just glimpsed quickly out of the corner of one’s eye because a direct look is too unsettling. Taboos lie within taboos, like the skin of an onion Picture Quote #1

Good does not become better by being exaggerated, but worse; And a small evil becomes a big one through being disregarded and repressed Picture Quote #1

Age plays cruel tricks on the human face; all our repressed feelings become visible on the surface, where they harden like a mask Picture Quote #1

To play a repressed gay man, I had to explore what life was like in an era of sexual repression Picture Quote #1
