“Do not be afraid to bring out the more sensitive or ambitious sides to your character. These repressed parts of you are yearning to be let out. In the theater of life, expand the roles that you play. Don’t worry about people’s reactions to any changes in you they sense. You are not so easy to categorize, which will fascinate them and give you the power to play with their perceptions of you, altering them at will.”

“Men are not gentle, friendly creatures wishing for love, who simply defend themselves if attacked.... A powerful desire for aggression has to be reckoned as part of their... endowment. —Sigmund Freud”
