More From Walter Lippmann

The idea that boys want to sleep with their mothers strikes most men as the silliest thing they have ever heard. obviously, it did not seem so to freud, who wrote that as a boy he once had an erotic reaction to watching his mother dressing. but freud had a wet-nurse, and may not have experienced the early intimacy that would have tipped off his perceptual system that mrs. freud was his mother. the westermarck theory has out-freuded freud.

I really wish that peoplewould just say, 'yes, it's a comic. yes, this is fantasy. yes, this is science fiction,' and defend the genre instead of saying, 'horror is a bit passe so this is dark fantasy,' and that' s playing someone else's game. so that's why i say i'm a fantasy writer and to hell with 'it doesn't read like what i think of as a fantasy'. in that case what you think of as a fantasy is not a fantasy. or there is more to it than you think.

Book Creativity What Matters
The two most far-reaching critical theories at the beginning of the latest phase of industrial society were those of marx and freud. marx showed the moving powers and the conflicts in the social-historical process. freud aimed at the critical uncovering of the inner conflicts. both worked for the liberation of man, even though marx's concept was more comprehensive and less time-bound than freud's.

The dynamic principle of fantasy is play, a characteristic also of the child, and as such it appears inconsistent with the principle of serious work. but without this playing with fantasy no creative work has ever yet come to birth. the debt we owe to the play of imagination is incalculable. it is therefore short-sighted to treat fantasy, on account of its risky or unacceptable nature, as a thing of little worth.

There is no need to justify what we are. there is no need to work hard to become what we are not. we just need to return to our intergrity, to the way we were before we learned to speak. perfect. as little children, we are authentic. only the present time is real for us; wo don't care about the past, and we aren't worried about the future. we enjoy life; we want to explore and have fun. nobody teaches us to be that way; we are born that way.
