A quote that I just read from Douglas Cooper's Amnesia: "The mere breathing presense of another human being is necessar to prevent the psyche from framgenting. Without this presence we split in two, we create company within us to keep from being alone." I love this quote because it describes the inner dialogue in which we engage to keep from being lonely.
A small passage from a chapter of my working novel: "Her vision of motherhood hovered about her, finally within her grasp. It had begun reshaping her body, obviously, but there was also a reshaping of her soul. Her soul was expanding inwardly. Almost as if her essence began to fold into herself, into this tiny being that stretched, and kicked, and lived within her."
Here is another quote from Douglas Cooper's Amnesia that I would like to share: “your memory…is no more than a faded picture of what your eyes have given you. It is a decayed image of your sensible lives…you experience nothing internally but the slow death of your past experience” (149). I loved what he says about memory...and how it is faded and slowly dies. It is interesting that our memories really just become the memories of the stories we tell...because eventually the actual memory fades. What do you all think?
