Mental Forms

Famous quotes containing the words mental and/or forms:

“‘Don’t be afraid of me because I’m just coming back home from
the mental hospital—I’m your mother—’”
—Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)

“All ... forms of consensus about “great” books and “perennial” problems, once stabilized, tend to deteriorate eventually into something philistine. The real life of the mind is always at the frontiers of “what is already known.” Those great books don’t only need custodians and transmitters. To stay alive, they also need adversaries. The most interesting ideas are heresies.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
