Famous quotes containing the words hold and/or objects:
“Though in the trade of war I have slain men,
Yet do I hold it very stuff o the conscience
To do no contrived murder. I lack iniquity
Sometimes to do me service.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“As a medium of exchange,... worrying regulates intimacy, and it is often an appropriate response to ordinary demands that begin to feel excessive. But from a modernized Freudian view, worryingas a reflex response to demandnever puts the self or the objects of its interest into question, and that is precisely its function in psychic life. It domesticates self-doubt.”
—Adam Phillips, British child psychoanalyst. Worrying and Its Discontents, in On Kissing, Tickling, and Being Bored, p. 58, Harvard University Press (1993)
