Unconscious Function

Famous quotes containing the words unconscious and/or function:

“We cannot remain long in a conscious state or in consciousness, we must take refuge again in the unconscious since there are our roots.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

“If the children and youth of a nation are afforded opportunity to develop their capacities to the fullest, if they are given the knowledge to understand the world and the wisdom to change it, then the prospects for the future are bright. In contrast, a society which neglects its children, however well it may function in other respects, risks eventual disorganization and demise.”
—Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)
