Interesting Quote:
Its symbolic value is derived from the meanings and emotions it evokes in us. (6-7)
Just loved this quote. Symbolism is always up to interpretation and emphasis on the emotion it "evokes in us" brings an entire new light to my understanding of symbolism.
Confusing Quote:
If the phylogenetic psyche provides the basic hardware, then culture produces much of the software; and symbol-formation, as in dreaming, is the product of their function (16)
Definitely confusing. I would need to know what a "phylogenetic psyche" is in order to understand this statement more clearly.
