• Si la represión ha sido realmente el vínculo fundamental entre el poder, el saber y la sexualidad desde la época clásica, es lógico pensar que no podremos liberarnos de ella si no es a un coste considerable.

• Tu cuerpo necesita que le abracen y que le abracen, que le toquen y que le toquen. Ninguna de estas necesidades debe despreciarse, negarse o reprimirse. Pero tienes que seguir buscando la necesidad más profunda de tu cuerpo, la necesidad de amor genuino. Cada vez que eres capaz de ir más allá de los deseos superficiales de amor del cuerpo, estás llevando a tu cuerpo a casa y avanzando hacia la integración y la unidad.

• ¿No podría preguntarse todo amigo inteligente de las libertades de su país si el poder ejercido en una ley como ésta no debería producir una alarma grande y universal? ¿Si una ejecución rígida de tal ley, en el pasado, no habría reprimido esa información y comunicación entre el pueblo que es indispensable para el justo ejercicio de sus derechos electorales? Y si tal ley, de perpetuarse y aplicarse con rigor, ¿no destruiría en el futuro nuestro sistema libre de gobierno o prepararía una convulsión que podría ser igualmente fatal para él?

• I do not like to encourage personalized politics, so we would not like it to be thought that just because certain political personalities were attacked, this means the situation is very grave. The true gravity of the situation comes from the fact that ordinary members of the NLD are repressed all the time. We don't want a completely paralyzed political organization, while a select few leaders are protected by international attention.

• I think the Muslim religious is a little too tight. It doesn't fit humans. Humans can't possibly fit into it, so there are a lot of really unhappy people, terribly repressed. It is a religion that works against you because the template don't fit. It's not human, you know.

• La educación es la herramienta más poderosa de que disponen los países para impulsar el crecimiento económico, aumentar la prosperidad y forjar sociedades más justas, pacíficas y equitativas. La privación de educación genera conflictos y permite la represión.

• Above all else, we seek connection - with parts of ourselves that we have repressed, with other people, and with the larger universe. We cannot experience life in its fullness unless we have an intimate relationship with another human being and, beyond that, a feeling of connection with the world around us.

• Mi investigación me ha demostrado que cuando las emociones se expresan -es decir, cuando las sustancias bioquímicas que son el sustrato de la emoción fluyen libremente- todos los sistemas se unen y se integran. Cuando las emociones se reprimen, se niegan, no se permite que sean lo que sean, las vías de nuestra red se bloquean, deteniendo el flujo de las sustancias químicas vitales que nos hacen sentir bien y nos unifican, y que dirigen tanto nuestra biología como nuestro comportamiento.

• Everybody knows from his own experience that after laughter, good laughter, a belly laugh, you almost feel that you have taken an ice-cold shower; a peace, a silence, a freshness... The same is true about crying, but very few people know the secret of crying because it is more repressed than laughter.

  Rajneesh

• La gente que pierde o gana entierra muchos sentimientos. Y los sentimientos no expresados afloran más tarde de formas más feas. Las enfermedades psicosomáticas suelen ser la reencarnación del resentimiento acumulado, la profunda decepción y la desilusión reprimidas por la mentalidad de Perder/Ganar. La rabia o la ira desproporcionadas, la reacción exagerada ante pequeñas provocaciones y el cinismo son otras encarnaciones de emociones reprimidas. Las personas que reprimen constantemente sus sentimientos, en lugar de trascenderlos hacia un significado más elevado, descubren que esto afecta a la calidad de sus relaciones con los demás.

• Without realizing that the past is constantly determining their present actions, they avoid learning anything about their history. They continue to live in their repressed childhood situation, ignoring the fact that is no longer exists, continuing to fear and avoid dangers that, although once real, have not been real for a long time.

• Unexplained pain may sometimes direct our attention to something unacknowledged, something we are afraid to know or feel. Then it holds us to our integrity, claiming the attention we withhold. The thing which calls our attention may be a repressed experience or some unexpressed and important part of who we are. Whatever we have denied may stop us and dam the creative flow of our lives. Avoiding pain, we may linger in the vicinity of our wounds, sometime for many years, gathering the courage to experience them.

• Definimos el aburrimiento como el dolor que siente una persona cuando no hace nada o hace algo irrelevante, en lugar de algo que quiere hacer pero no quiere, no puede o no se atreve. El aburrimiento es agudo cuando conoce la otra cosa e inhibe su acción, por ejemplo, por educación, vergüenza, miedo al castigo o vergüenza. El aburrimiento es crónico si lo ha reprimido y ya no es consciente de ello. Una gran parte de la estupidez no es más que el aburrimiento crónico, ya que una persona no puede aprender, o ser inteligente, sobre lo que no le interesa, cuando sus pensamientos reprimidos están en otra parte.

• Sundry manifestations of nature in men and women, are greatly perverted by existing social conventions upheld by both. There are feelings which, under our predatory régime, with its adapted standard of propriety, it is not considered manly to show; but which, contrariwise, are considered admirable in women. Hence repressed manifestations in the one case, and exaggerated manifestations in the other; leading to mistaken estimates.

• Were we to still be circumcising the hood of the female clitoris, we would not have difficulty considering this a continuation of our tradition to keep girls sexually repressed. America's reflexive continuation of [male] circumcision-without-research reflects the continuation of our tradition to desensitize boys to feelings of pain, to prepare them to question the disposability of their bodies no more than they would question the disposability of their foreskins.

• When one read's Kierkegaard's profound analyses of anxiety and despair or Nietzsche's amazingly acute insights into the dynamics of resentment and the guilt and hostility which accompany repressed emotional powers, one might pinch oneself to realize that one is reading works written in the last century and not some new contemporary psychological analysis.

• I think the democratic movement will be repressed for now, only to erupt again somewhere down the line.And more blood will be shed, just like it was when Americans fought and died to bring independence, democracy, and freedom to the United States. It's not something you can sit back and wait for someone to give to you voluntarily.

• Americans are a lot more open, of course. There's something more declamatory in the way you express emotions. It's a stereotype but it's true. British people can appear repressed in expressing emotions. Not very good at self-evaluating, or affirming situations, touching, anything like that.
