Fortunately analysis is not the only way to resolve inner conflicts. Life itself remains a very effective therapist. – Karen Horney, Our Inner Conflicts, 1945, referring to psychoanalysis

Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing, only a signal shown, and a distant voice in the darkness So on the ocean of life, we pass and speak one another, only a look and a voice, then darkness again and a silence. – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
