"The whole point of a bedside notebook is that it encourages muddled yet possibly devastating communications from the unconscious."
"When this kind of stuff starts to happen fourteen days after you finish a book, you know your head is up & running again. The beauty of it is that you won’t know what it’s working on for months yet; & the beauty of that is its reliability."
Oh, "muddled yet possibly devastating communications from the unconscious", yes, if we find ways of channeling those, half the battle is won.
