QUOTE: From a piece in Slate on Woody Allen:
"But he can't or doesn't seem to want to recognize the larger truth that everything we do and say and think fits together like a jigsaw puzzle that only death will complete. And this apparent resistance may be what has kept him from scaling what he sees as the loftiest artistic heights. The full integration of self may also be what he missed in his psychoanalysis, perhaps because he was apparently so intent on maintaining his emotional autonomy and using the couch for his own stealthy, homemade purposes, like a kid sneaking apples from the orchard next door. "
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
