All conservatives are such from personal defects. They have been effeminated by position or nature, born halt and blind, through l...uxury of their parents, and can only, like invalids, act on the defensive. But strong natures, backwoodsmen, New Hampshire giants, Napoleons, Burkes, Broughams, Websters, Kossuths, are inevitable patriots, until their life ebbs, and their defects and gout, palsy and money, warp them.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Just as the body reacts in a purposeful way to wounds or infections or an abnormal way of living, so the psychic functions react t...o unnatural or injurious disturbances with appropriate means of defence. One of these purposeful reactions is the dream, in which the unconscious material constellated round a given conscious position is presented to the conscious mind in symbolic form. In this unconscious material are all those associations which have remained in the unconscious because they were only weakly emphasized but which nevertheless have sufficient energy to make themselves felt during sleep. Naturally the purposeful character of the dream-content cannot be directly seen from the manifest dream-content; it requires an analysis of this manifest content to reach the actual compensatory factors of the latent dream-content. But most physical defensive reactions are of the same scarcely recognizable and, so to speak, indirect nature, and their purposeful character also has only been recognized through deep investigation and exact observation. I might recall, for instance, the meaning of fever and the processes of suppuration in an infected wound.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
What is the gay life style? Short hair? Minimalist decor? We can't simply be talking sex acts here, can we? Because if we are, tha...t would mean that the heterosexual life style would consist largely of the missionary position. That doesn't entirely conform to my view of the heterosexual life style, which consists largely of folding towels, calling out for pizza and fighting over the remote for the TV.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I believe it is only necessary that England be fully awakened to a sense of her position, in order that she may right herself, esp...ecially as the weather will soon cease to be her foe. I wish I could believe that the cause in which you are embarked is the cause of the people of England. However, I have no sympathy with the idleness that would contrast this fighting with the teachings of the pulpit; for, perchance, more virtue is being practiced at Sevastopol than in many years of peace. It is a pity that we seem to require a war, from time to time, to assure us that there is any manhood still left in man.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
My grandfather fell on Vinegar Hill, And fighting was not his trade;... But his rusty pike's in the cabin still, With Hessian blood on the blade."LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
One reason--perhaps the chief--of the virility of the Roosevelts is [their] very democratic spirit. They have never felt that beca...use they were born in a good position they could put their hands in their pockets and succeed. They have felt, rather, that being born in a good position, there is no excuse for them if they did not do their duty by the community.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
