When I write an email where I outlined a whole scene, it just came out of my unconscious, it comes from a deeper place.

You Lost Same Thing Think Email Out About Scene Write Take Unconscious House Came Go Get Same Just Being Where After Happens Place Whole Actor Deeper Thing

First a piece of Irish wisdom: you should always listen to a bookie. For they have a saying, 'Money tells a good story,' and somewhere in their odds is a kind of science-fiction existentialism that decrees that we, the people, know everything. In other words, betting patterns often make for good, unconscious soothsaying. Frank Delaney

Gerry Adams

It's hard to avoid 'unconscious overclaiming.' In unconscious overclaiming, we unconsciously overestimate our contributions relative to others. This makes sense, because we're far more aware of what we do than what other people do. Also, we tend to do the work that we value. Gretchen Rubin

The men of action are, after all, only the unconscious instruments of the men of thought. Heinrich Heine

You fall in love with somebody who fits within what I call your 'love map,' an unconscious list of traits that you build in childhood as you grow up. And I also think that you gravitate to certain people, actually, with somewhat complementary brain systems. Helen Fisher

Love You People Somebody Build Fall Think Complementary Systems Somewhat Unconscious Also Call Within Brain Fits Up Traits List Childhood Certain Your Who Map Grow Grow Up Actually Gravitate

But I now think what I was doing, in a completely unconscious way, was getting off the turf where my husband and I might be rivals. We were both working in fiction... so I look back and I see that I consciously vacated the contested ground. Helen Garner

The violent quarrel between the abstractionists and the surrealists seems to me quite unnecessary. All good art has contained both abstract and surrealist elements, just as it has contained both classical and romantic elements - order and surprise, intellect and imagination, conscious and unconscious. Henry Moore

Art Good Me Imagination Unnecessary Classical Seems Both Unconscious Abstract Contained Between Quarrel Surprise Intellect Surrealist Quite Just Order Romantic Good Art Elements Conscious Violent

I only realised why I keep living in Shepperton when I returned to China. All the people who moved there had come from places just like Shepperton, and so they built and lived in houses exactly like these.

Me People Living Drawn Exactly Only Shanghai Had Unconscious Reminds Come Like Know Returned Houses Because Built Just Moved Realised China Places Who Keep Lived Now Why Level Here

As with all great works of literature, 'Of Mice and Men' moves with the inexorability of a huge river, and it pours itself, exhausts itself, in the sea of our unconscious. Having read it, we carry the book inside us forever. Jay Parini

Great Book Men Our Carry Inside Having River Unconscious Read Huge Itself Mice Forever Moves Literature Us Sea Works

Suddenly, we are putting ourselves as the next dinosaurs. It's rather dark; we have narrowed our dreams. It is time to restore our visions. And so it's not a nostalgic idea; it is based with this unconscious need to restore a kind of dynamic for tomorrow. Jean-Michel Jarre

I'm not a wildly gifted person; I don't play an instrument or speak another language or have great accomplishments in another field, as many writers do. But writing feels natural to me; the act of it seems to free up my unconscious, so that sometimes I feel that I have access to more ideas and information than my conscious mind could think up. Jennifer Egan

Great Me Natural Writing Speak Sometimes Language Mind Free Field Think Wildly Gifted Seems More Could Writers Unconscious Feel Feels Ideas Instrument Another Access Accomplishments Up Than Person Information Act Many Play Conscious Conscious Mind

I'm not reading what I write when I wrote. It's an unconscious outpouring that's a mess, and it's many, many steps away from anything anyone would want to read. Creating that way seems to generate the most interesting material for me to work with, though. Jennifer Egan

Work Me Reading Way Though Would Seems Outpouring Write Unconscious Generate Steps Most Mess Wrote Read Material Want Anyone Anything Interesting Creating Many Away
