Quotes About Unconscious

los impulsos que motivan muchas de nuestras conductas diarias se originan en procesos mentales de los que no somos conscientes, por más que luego podamos comprenderlos con gran rapidez.

The subject as multiplicity. Pain as intellectual and totally dependent on the judgement harmful projected outwards. Pleasure is a kind of pain. The effect is always unconscious. The inferred and imagined cause is transposed onto what follows in time. The only force that exists produces the same effect as the will: it commands other subjects, which change as a result. The continuous, fleeting, transitory nature of the subject. Mortal soul. Number as a form of perspective.
