Quote by Philip Rieff

"The pleasure of the text is not the pleasure of the person who consumes culture."

"Culture is the effort to hold back the aggressive and pathological forces of human nature."

"The highest achievements of consciousness are in withdrawal from the world."

"Psychoanalysis is a cure for the illness of consciousness."

"Faith guides me through difficult times."

"Faith is believing when you can't see."

"You have to believe in something, or you'll fall for anything."

"Faith in God and in each other is what sustains us"
