About This Quote

What one exorcises in this [imagery] way at little cost, and for the price of a few tears, will never in effect be reproduced. The things that are buried deep within us are constantly trying to resurface. A person may have buried that pain, anger or jealousy for many years, but these emotions are always just beneath the surface of their mind. As they get older, these feelings may be brought out into the open for discussions with friends or strangers.
