Summary

This quote suggests that the unconscious mind is like an expansive ocean that holds all the thoughts, feelings, and experiences that cannot be expressed or articulated through language. It symbolizes the hidden part of our psyche that has been rejected or pushed aside due to societal and cultural restrictions. These ancient taboos prevent certain aspects of ourselves from being acknowledged or verbalized, creating a vast reservoir of unconscious thoughts and emotions waiting to be explored.

For a lot of people, their first love is what they'll always remember. For me it's always been the first hate, and I think that hatred, though it provides often rather junky energy, is a terrific way of getting you out of bed in the morning and keeping you going. If you don't let it get out of hand, it can be canalized into writing. In this country where people love to be nonjudgmental when they can be, which translates as, on the whole, lenient, there are an awful lot of bubble reputations floating around that one wouldn't be doing one's job if one didn't itch to prick.
