Discarded wisdom

I found this, written on a piece of scrap paper. It was on an empty shelf, next to a set of books published in the early 1990s. It was written in Green felt tip! ( A professional no no. They should not have been let into the reading areas with that )

``Concerning the factors of silence, solitude and darkness, we can only say that they are actually elements in the production of the infantile anxiety from which the majority of human beings have never become quite free’’

Freud
