The truth is that our unconscious minds are active, purposeful, and independent. Hidden they may be, but their effects are anything but, for they play a critical role in shaping the way our conscious minds experience and respond to the world.

People intuitively realize that there is strength in numbers and take comfort in the company of others, especially in times of anxiety or need.

Language is handy, but we humans have social and emotional connections that transcend words and are communicated - and understood - without conscious thought.

Leonard Mlodinow Quotes
