Thought Suppression

Famous quotes containing the words thought and/or suppression:

    For I thought Epicurus and Lucretius
    By Nature meant the Whole Goddam Machinery.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Fashion required the suppression of all naturalness—’to walk upright, with unbending joints; to shake hands after the pump- handle formula; to look inexpressibly indifferent towards everybody and everything; and speak only in a mincing voice was to be a decorous member of society.’
    —For the State of Rhode Island, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
