Dissociation Quotes

• Some people give theirselves a certain number of white weeks once in a year, when they do not drink a single drop of alcohol. It is really wise. I myself have a few weeks per year, let us call them white or black, when I am not interested in the world around. When I come back from this isolation of the news, I realize that I have missed nothing significant. We live in the rain of disinformation and rumors, where the truth is a very small number. In those weeks of dissociation I seek for knowledge that lies within me.

• Trauma dissociates us from the parts of our body that are wounded, so we have to leave our whole body. It's a journey you take your whole life, that coming back in, re-landing in your body, in your self, on the Earth. I think one of the reasons it's been so easy, in a way, for us to violate both women and the Earth is this profound dissociation that exists in everyone.

• The ordinary response to atrocities is to banish them from consciousness. Certain violations of the social compact are too terrible to utter aloud: this is the meaning of the word unspeakable.

• For those in whom a local mythology still works, there is an experience both of accord with the social order, and of harmony with the universe. For those, however, in whom the authorized signs no longer work-or, if working, produce deviant effects-there follows inevitably a sense both of dissociation from the local social nexus and of quest, within and without, for life, which the brain will take to be for 'meaning'.

• Hay algo servil en la interpretación del pecado como crimen que infringe la voluntad de Dios y exige un proceso judicial por parte de Dios. El pecado es división, un estado de deficiencia, incompletud, disociación, esclavitud, odio, pero no es desobediencia ni violación formal de la voluntad de Dios.

• Intense asana practice - too much, too soon - can have detrimental effects. It can also promote a dissociation from the personal sensitivity and self awareness that I am trying to encourage. I don't want to contribute to furthering physical or psychological trauma.

• Creo que habrá una reacción - una reacción se establecerá en contra de esta disociación comunal. Ya sabes, el hombre no se mantiene para siempre, su anulación. Cuando pienso en mis pacientes, veo que todos buscan su propia existencia y asegurar su existencia contra esa completa atomización en la nada o en el sinsentido. El hombre no puede soportar una vida sin sentido.

  Carl Jung

• In truth a clear-headed physicalist shouldn't be thinking any of these dualist thoughts. If pains are one and the same as C-fibres firing, then there really isn't any possibility of having 'one' without the 'other'. Once you properly appreciates physicalism, this dissociation should cease to appear possible - C-fibres with pains should strike you as no more possible than squares without rectangles.

• I think that more so, my wonderful skill of dissociation came in very handy. I care very much what other people think. I'm a total pleaser. I want everyone to like me all the time. I feel like people who don't feel that way on some level are lying, but particularly female memoirists. We want to be seen and we want to be forgiven. So that occurred to me very early on.

• In case I conk out, this is provisionally what I have to do: I must clarify obscurities; I must make clearer definite ideas or dissociations. I must find a verbal formula to combat the rise of brutality--the principle of order versus the split atom.

• If you want to know the real meaning of pornography, it is the utter dissociation of love and sex, the banishment of love from the sexual arena.

• Cada ordenador se divide en su hardware y su software, la máquina anfitriona a su algoritmo, el ser humano a su mente. No es de extrañar que los hombres y las mujeres hayan hecho lo que ahora hacen los ordenadores mucho antes de que éstos pudieran hacer nada en absoluto. La disociación entre mente y materia en hombres y máquinas es muy llamativa; sugiere que casi cualquier organización estable y fiable de objetos materiales puede ejecutar un algoritmo y llegar así a comandar alguna forma de inteligencia.

• I want a History of Looking. For the Photograph is the advent of myself as other: a cunning dissociation of consciousness from identity. Even odder: it was before Photography that men had the most to say about the vision of the double. Heautoscopy was compared with an hallucinosis; for centuries this was a great mythic theme.
