“They may find the world a terrifying and hostile place that can only be survived with constant, very great effort. It is typical of a neglected person that, whatever is not right in their life, there is often no narrative to account for its origin, in the way that a person who has suffered abuse (or a marked loss or a similar event) will have a narrative of, “This happened and it affected me in a certain way, and that’s the reason that I am as I am now.” A person who has been neglected may not have such a narrative but instead may be left to feel that they are just odd. They may in the past have been blamed for being odd and not responding “like a normal person.” Usually they feel dreadfully ashamed of how they are.”
Kathrin A. Stauffer, Emotional Neglect and the Adult in Therapy: Lifelong Consequences to a Lack of Early Attunement

Peter Wessel Zapffe
“The human yearning is not merely marked by a ‘striving toward’, but equally by an ‘escape from.”
Peter Wessel Zapffe

“Welcome... to the Filthy Frank Show. If you're feeling suicidal, you've come to the right place. 'Cause I wanna fucking kill myself as well.”
George Miller

Wilhelm Reich
“Politically, we are still stuck in the systems of thought of the Greek and Roman slave states, no matter how much we rant about "democracy.”
Wilhelm Reich, The Mass Psychology of Fascism

Vladimir Lenin
“Three keys to success: read, read, read.”
Vladimir Lenin
