Fahed Aln

“نحن نعيش في أولادنا حياة ثانية يا أمير.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Uncle's Dream

“We become what we become not only through our DNA or only through our environment, but through their interaction.”
― John A. Bargh, Before You Know It: The Unconscious Reasons We Do What We Do

“Why do you suppose teenagers like scary horror movies so much? Because physiological arousal from watching, say, ax-wielding maniacs or malevolent spirits transfers into sexual feelings and attraction to the person they're seeing the movie with.”
― John A. Bargh, Before You Know It: The Unconscious Reasons We Do What We Do

“By using unconscious means to self-regulate, making "necessary evils" such as healthy eating and exercising and studying a routine part of their lives, they make the positive activities a routine habit so that they don't need to fight to get started, or overcome the disinclination to do them. Conscious and effortful self-control is too taxing and too unreliable, and as we know, vulnerable to rationalizations and excuses.”
