In using the 'word culture' I am thinking of the inherited tradition. I am thinking of something that is in the common pool of humanity, into which individuals and groups of people may contribute, and from which we may all draw if we have somewhere to put what we find.

[...] It interests me, however, as a side issue, that in any cultural field it is no possible to be original except on a basis of tradition.. Conversely, no one in the line of cultural contributors repeats except as a deliberate quotation, and the unforgivable sin in the cultural field is plagiarism. The interplay between originality and the acceptance of tradition as the basis for inventiveness seems to me to be just one more example, and a very exciting one, of the interplay between separateness and union.

« I have chosen to look at human nature through a study of the child. Although in health the adult continues to grow, develop and change right up to the moment of death, there is a pattern already to be discerned in the child which will persist, just as the face remains recognisable throughout the life of the individual.

But where is the child to be found ? »

“The most aggressive and therefore the most dangerous words in the languages of the world are to be found in the assertion I AM.”

« PERCEPTION IN NO PRIMARY PHASE OF CONSCIOUSNESS ; it's an ulterior function acquired by a dream which has become symbolic of its external conditions, and therefore relevant to its own destiny. Such relevance and symbolism are indirect and slowly acquired ; their status cannot be understood unless we regard them as forms of imagination happily grown significant. In imagination, not in perception, lies the substance of experience, while science and reason are but its chastened and ultimate form ».

"We know that the world was there before the infant, but the infant does not know this, and at first the infant has the illusion that what is found is created. But this state of affairs is only achieved when the mother acts well enough. This problem of primary creativity has been discussed as one of earliest infancy; in point of fact it is a problem that never ceases to have meaning, as long as the individual is alive.

Gradually there comes about in intellectual understanding of the fact of the world's existence prior to the individual's, but feeling remains that the world is personally created.

I put great stress on this part of the study of human nature".
