3 John Leonard Quotes on Truth

John Leonard quotes on truth

1. There are too many ironies in the fire!

11. Maybe the unconscious is overrated... What if your unconscious is full of false consciousness or bad faith? What if it's more like a trash compactor than a dreamcatcher? What if it's a diseased hump, a vampire bat, an alien abductor? Somewhere in Pieces and Pontifications, somebody asked him: 'Why can't the unconscious be as error-prone as the conscious?' It was a Freudian question he never answered.

30. You can't invent yourself as you maunder on. Your fabrications aren't going to impress the blood test, the urinalysis or the chest X-ray. Science is not amused.
