Famous quotes containing the words cold and/or fusion:

    My friend’s cold made-up face, granite among its flowers,
    Her undressed, operated-on, dressed body
    Were my face and body.
    Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)

    Sadism and masochism, in Freud’s final formulation, are fusions of Eros and the destructive instincts. Sadism represents a fusion of the erotic instincts and the destructive instincts directed outwards, in which the destructiveness has the character of aggressiveness. Masochism represents the fusion of the erotic instincts and the destructive instincts turned against oneself, the aim of the latter being self-destruction.
    Patrick Mullahy (b. 1912)
