Patrick’s Notes & Highlights

One of Us Is Dead by Jeneva Rose

1 highlight

As humans, we define ourselves by the things we are most proud of—being a mother, a salon owner, a free spirit. But what happens when you lose that? Who do you become?

Psychoanalysis: The Impossible Profession

by Janet Malcolm

“Insight isn’t superficial—it isn’t simply learning something mildly interesting about yourself. It is becoming yourself. It’s finding your way to the child in yourself, it is a profound recognition.”

“...the past is alive in the present. But the future is alive in the present too. The future is not some place we’re going to, but an idea is our mind now. It is something we’re creating, that in turn creates us. The future is a fantasy that shapes our present.”
― Stephen Grosz, The Examined Life: How We Lose and Find Ourselves

“The concept of transference at once destroys faith in personal relations and explains why they are tragic: we cannot know each other. We must grope around for each other through a dense thicket of absent others. We cannot see each other plain. A horrible kind of predestination hovers over each new attachment we form.”
― Janet Malcolm, Psychoanalysis: The Impossible Profession
