There was a hand in the darkness, and it held a knife.

True merit is like a river, the deeper it is, the less noise it makes.

James Thurber

Fred Durst

Analysis does not set out to make pathological reactions impossible, but to give the patient's ego freedom to decide one way or another.

Sigmund Freud
