People who were abused and neglected in childhood are missing this capacity and are therefore never overtaken by unexpected emotions.

Depression and a sense of inner emptiness are the price they must pay for this control.

The unconscious cannot express itself directly because it is a composite of past, present, future, a timeless alchemy of many dimensions.

I think any start has to be a false start because really there's no way to start. You just have to force yourself to sit down and turn off the quality censor.

But it gets more persistent. And the moment you know it's really a false start is when you start ... it's hard to put into words.

Modern fiction brings out the evil in domestic lives, ordinary relations, people like you and me -- Reader! Bruder! as Humbert said. Evil in Austen, as in most great fiction, lies in the inability to see others, hence to empathize with them.
