Famous quotes containing the words evidence, separation, implicit, explicit and/or memory:

    “Strict rules of evidence would destroy psychoanalysis and literary criticism.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “On a subconscious level your child experiences separation from you as a “punishment.” And if he is to be “rewarded” with your return, he must be very good.... Eager for you to come back, your finicky son would probably eat liver if your baby-sitter served it, and he wouldn’t dream of resisting her at bathtime.”
    —Cathy Rindner Tempelsman (20th century)

    “A piece of advice always contains an implicit threat, just as a threat always contains an implicit piece of advice.”
    —José Bergamín (1895–1983)

    “I think “taste” is a social concept and not an artistic one. I’m willing to show good taste, if I can, in somebody else’s living room, but our reading life is too short for a writer to be in any way polite. Since his words enter into another’s brain in silence and intimacy, he should be as honest and explicit as we are with ourselves.”
    —John Updike (b. 1932)

    ““I have done it,” says my memory. “I cannot have done it,” says my pride, refusing to budge. In the end—my memory yields.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
