If you're going to hold someone down you're going to have to hold on by the other end of the chain. You are confined by your own repression.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Those who restrain their desires, do so because theirs is weak enough to be restrained.
When you have a chain around your neck, you have to keep your head down and try to accept your fate without succumbing entirely to humiliation, without forgetting who you are.
You can't hold a man down without staying down with him.
We all live under some repression; we have to, it's part of the deal.
If repression has indeed been the fundamental link between power, knowledge, and sexuality since the classical age, it stands to reason that we will not be able to free ourselves from it except at a considerable cost.
One ought to hold on to one's heart; for if one lets it go, one soon loses control of the head too.
As long as you keep a person down, some part of you has to be down there to hold him down, so it means you cannot soar as you otherwise might.
Repression in the human psyche is tightly bundled. When it has been pulled out of the sprung package so often it is perhaps difficult to push it back in the box.
Repression is fantastic.
To hold a man down, you have to stay down with him.
