“the characteristics the modern mind prides itself on are precisely those of madness.”
Ernest Becker, The Denial of Death

Ernest Becker
“never has there been an age in which so little knowledge is securely possessed, so little a part of the common understanding.”

Ernest Becker, The Denial of Death

Ernest Becker
“There is no point in lingering on the fallacies of the revolutionaries of unrepression; one could go on and on, but everything would come back to the same basic thing: the impossibility of living without repression.”
Ernest Becker, The Denial of Death
