Fact Crime

Famous quotes containing the words fact and/or crime:

    The expectation that every neurotic phenomenon can be cured may, I suspect, be derived from the layman’s belief that the neuroses are something quite unnecessary which have no right whatever to exist. Whereas in fact they are severe, constitutionally fixed illnesses, which rarely restrict themselves to only a few attacks but persist as a rule over long periods throughout life.
    Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)

    How could passion run so deep
    Had I never thought
    That the crime of being born
    Blackens all our lot?
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
