Famous quotes containing the words basic and/or process:

    “... the basic experience of everyone is the experience of human limitation.”
    —Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)

    “Every modern male has, lying at the bottom of his psyche, a large, primitive being covered with hair down to his feet. Making contact with this Wild Man is the step the Eighties male or the Nineties male has yet to take. That bucketing-out process has yet to begin in our contemporary culture.”
    —Robert Bly (b. 1926)
