The unconscious is the ocean of the
unsayable, of what has been expelled
from the land of language, removed as
a result of ancient prohibitions.
?Italo Calvino
The soul, fortunately, has an interpreter --
often an unconscious, but still a truthful
interpreter -- in the eye.
?Charlotte Brontë
There is that indescribable freshness
and unconsciousness about an illiterate
person that humbles and mocks the power of
the noblest expressive genius.
?Walt Whitman
These great turning-days of life cast no
shadow before, slip by unconsciously.
Only a trifle, a little turn of the rudder,
and the ship goes to heaven or hell.
?Rebecca Harding Davis
A stereotyped but unconscious despair
is concealed even under what are called the
games and amusements of mankind.
?Henry David Thoreau
There is a marvelous turn and
trick to British arrogance;
its apparent unconsciousness
makes it twice as effectual.
?Catherine Drinker Bowen
The poetry of a people comes from the
deep recesses of the unconscious,
the irrational and the collective
body of our ancestral memories.

Example has more followers than reason.
We unconsciously imitate what pleases us, and
approximate to the characters we most admire.
?Christian Nestell Bovee
If the desire to get somewhere is strong
enough in a person, his whole being,
conscious and unconscious, is always
at work, looking for and devising
means to get to the goal.
?Frederick Philip Grove
The connection between conscious
and unconscious poses particular
problems in the dancer because
the body is the soul of action.
?Marion Woodman
