« When a little girl has come to unconsciously fear the destructive impulses inside her in such an intense way that she doubts that she will ever be able to generate anything other than altered and dirty materials (like bad faeces), when she feels that even if she could safely hold a baby seed (without guilt, without harming a brother , or to her father and mother, without stealing them), the baby would surely die because her own interior is so full of evil things, when she feels all this, she turns away with terror from this aspect of life and a masculine side develops in her. »

« Having succeeded in our minds in locating the danger outside us and concentrating it, we then proceed to a second projective maneuver, which consists of unloading the aggressive impulses within us in the form of an attack against this external danger: the first aggressiveness that constitutes a danger is expelled and located elsewhere as a bad thing; then, the object invested with danger becomes the goal towards which to unload the aggression that later forms. »
