If men and women use their brains differently in thinking about rhymes, does that say that women may feel a different sort of plea...sure ... from what men feel?LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Ours was a highly activist administration, with a lot of controversy involved ... but I'm not sure that it would be inconsistent w...ith my own political nature to do it differently if I had it to do all over again.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I have more in common with a Mexican man than with a white woman.... This opinion ... chagrins women who sincerely believe our fem...ale physiology unequivocally binds all women throughout the world, despite the compounded social prejudices that daily affect us all in different ways. Although women everywhere experience life differently from men everywhere, white women are members of a race that has proclaimed itself globally superior for hundreds of years.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
To people off alone, as we were, there is something stirring about finding evidences of human labour and care in the soil of an em...pty country. It comes to you as a sort of message, makes you feel differently about the ground you walk over every day.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Goddesses never die. They slip in and out of the world's cities, in and out of our dreams, century after century, answering to dif...ferent names, dressed differently, perhaps even disguised, perhaps idle and unemployed, their official altars abandoned, their temples feared or simply forgotten.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The child's mind is much more public property than the adult's. What troubles the child is shared with his family, his teachers an...d school chums. That is to say, the child is going through the educational process of acquiring a "personality" (and, alas, neurosis) while the adult has likely forgotten all the trials--at home or outside--that contributed to the later pain or tension bringing him to analysis. Put differently, the adult is troubled but usually can't "remember" the exact sequence of events that are responsible for the trouble. The child often will describe quite readily what is happening about him, but may well not consider himself suffering or in danger--it is his parents or teachers who are concerned.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

Often, when there is a conflict between parent and child, at its very hub is an expectation that the child should be acting differ...ently. Sometimes these expectations run counter what is known about children's growth. They stem from remembering oneself, but usually at a slightly older age.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
In my own view, there are clear differences between child and adult artistic activity. While the child may be aware that he is doi...ng things differently from others, he does not fully appreciate the rules and conventions of symbolic realms; his adventurousness holds little significance. In contrast, the adult artist is fully cognizant of the norms embraced by others; his willingness, his compulsion, to reject convention is purchased, at the very least, with full knowledge of what he is doing and often at considerable psychic cost to himself. As Picasso once remarked, "I used to draw like Raphael, but it has taken me a whole lifetime to learn to draw like a child."LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
