Ernest Jones Quotes

The control man has secured over nature has far outrun his control over himself.

(Halliday once said that he preferred to pretend the other Indiana Jones films, from Kingdom of the Crystal Skull onward, didn’t exist. I tended to agree.)

Man's chief enemy is his own unruly nature and the dark forces put up within him.

Certain places seem to exist mainly because someone has written about them. Kilimanjaro belongs to Ernest Hemingway. Oxford, Mississippi, belongs to William Faulkner, and one hot July week in Oxford I was moved to spend an afternoon walking the graveyard looking for his stone, a kind of courtesy call on the owner of the property. A place belongs forever to whoever claims it hardest, remembers it most obsessively, wrenches it from itself, shapes it, renders it, loves it so radically that he remakes it in his image, and not only Schofield Barracks but a great deal of Honolulu itself has always belonged for me to James Jones.

I devoured each of what Halliday referred to as “The Holy Trilogies”: Star Wars (original and prequel trilogies, in that order), Lord of the Rings, The Matrix, Mad Max, Back to the Future, and Indiana Jones. (Halliday once said that he preferred to pretend the other Indiana Jones films, from Kingdom of the Crystal Skull onward, didn’t exist. I tended to agree.) I also absorbed the complete filmographies of each of his favorite directors. Cameron, Gilliam, Jackson, Fincher, Kubrick, Lucas, Spielberg, Del Toro, Tarantino. And, of course, Kevin Smith. I spent three months studying every John Hughes teen movie and memorizing all the key lines of dialogue.

We will hold together through this life, so easily apprehensible in its immediate aims but so incomprehensible in its final purpose.

How very much easier it is for the human mind to tolerate external danger than internal dangers,

Thou owest nature a death.’“ Another

Not only is the organism a part of the physical universe but the world of organisms itself is one family.

I will swing the clubhead with my hands in the backswing so my club ends over my shoulder, and I will then swing the entire club with my arms in one uninterrupted motion in the direction of my target to the end of my swing, allowing my body to respond to the swing.

Numbers and equations left him cold, and he often got details wrong or contradicted himself about them in the course of a paper. “To be tied down to exactitude and precise measurement,” Ernest Jones observed, “was not in his nature.” As Freud himself would “tell his close friend Wilhelm Fliess, “You know that I lack any mathematical talent whatsoever and have no memory for numbers and measurements.” Thus he felt compelled to exclude statistics from almost all of his technical as well as his anecdotal writings.

[Freud] "sat in his quiet cozy study in Vienna, glad to be back. He said to Ernest Jones, America is a mistake, a gigantic mistake.” Ragtime

Pull with the left hand to start the forward swing from the end of the backswing. This is bad because: The force applied to pull has a straight line attitude and the swing is circular. Since the

Writing on this subject in 1904 Freud gave the reason for our unshakable conviction of freedom of choice. He remarked that it is far stronger with trivial decisions than with weighty ones; with the latter we commonly feel that our inner nature compels us, that we really have no alternative. With the former, however, for example the arbitrary choice of a number, we discern no motive and therefore feel it is an uncaused act on the part of our ego. If we now subject the example to a psycho-analysis we discover that the choice has after all been determined, but this time the motive is an unconscious one. We actually leave the matter to be decided by our unconscious mind and then claim the credit for the outcome. If unconscious motivation is taken into account, therefore, the rule of determinism is of general validity. Freud never wavered in this attitude and all his researches into the workings of the mind are entirely based on a belief in a regular chain of mental events. He would have endorsed the views of the great anthropologist Tylor that 'the history of mankind is part and parcel of the history of Nature, that our thoughts, will and actions accord with laws as definite as those which govern the motion of the waves'. When enumerating the essential elements of psycho-analytical theory, in 1924, he included 'the thorough-going meaningfulness and determinism of even the apparently most obscure and arbitrary mental phenomena.

You should always visualize the ball flying low to the target, even though the club being used, the wedge for example, will send the ball with plenty of height. The lower the shot is visualized, the better the shot will be. See Figure 27. Permit the loft of the club to do the job it was built to do.

On this sidehill lie, the ball will have a tendency to go to the right, so to send the ball straight, place the clubhead behind the ball at a right angle to the target line. This delofts the clubhead so the shot will be even lower. If it is necessary to get some height on the shot, instead of placing the clubhead at a right angle to the target line at address, place it fanned out. When the clubhead is fanned out, it will be facing to the right but will retain its normal loft—it is actually out of square to the target line. With the clubhead in this position, not only will the ball start to the right but will have a tendency to slice so it will be necessary for you to be aligned even more to the left in order to be able to send the ball toward the target.

I hungered for the power of the all-American man, the Marlboro Man and the Marlboro Man's firstborn son, the high-school quarterback, the company's future CEO, Ernest Hemingway, John Wayne, Odysseus, Hercules, Achilles, the shield itself, the stone-cut archetype, the goddamned Everyman, the golden boy, the one.

Placing the clubhead in the center of the stance will make all swings more consistent.
