(Excerpt): "The present book is a continuation from "Psychoanalysis
and the Unconscious." The generality of readers had better just leave
it alone. The generality of critics likewise. I really don't want to
convince anybody. It is quite in opposition to my whole nature. I
don't intend my books for the generality of readers. I count it a
mistake of our mistaken democracy, that every man who can read print
is allowed to believe that he can read all that is printed. I count it
a misfortune that serious books are exposed in the public market, like
slaves exposed naked for sale. But there we are, since we live in an
age of mistaken democracy, we must go through with it. I warn the
generality of readers, that this present book will seem to them only a
rather more revolting mass of wordy nonsense than the last. I would
warn the generality of critics to throw it in the waste paper basket
without more ado. As for the limited few, in whom one must per force
find an answerer, I may as well say straight off that I stick to the
solar plexus. That statement alone, I hope, will thin their numbers
considerably. Finally, to the remnants of a remainder, in order to
apologize for the sudden lurch into cosmology, or cosmogony, in this
book, I wish to say that the whole thing hangs inevitably together. I
am not a scientist. I am an amateur of amateurs. As one of my critics
said, you either believe or you don't."
