Excerpt from "Man and His Symbols"

[fleshchines]

"The man who fears communication of his inner depths is as much afraid of the feminine element of himself as he is of real women. At one moment he is fascinated by her, at another he tries to escape; fascinated and terrified, he flees so as not to become her "prey." He does not dare approach a beloved (and therefore idealized) partner with his animal-like sexuality."

Thank you, Carl Jung, for being my dad.
