#animus

• Animo — An unconscious masculine principle present within the feminine psyche, used as a variant or lexical correlate of the term 'animus' in Jungian analytical psychology. In a broad sense, the word denotes the deep intention, state of mind, courage, or vital energy governing an individual's actions, partially adopted into modern terminology from Latin and Spanish roots to describe the dynamic impulse of consciousness.
• The mind shudders to remember — Famous Latin phrase extracted from Virgil's epic 'Aeneid', literally translated as 'The mind shudders to remember'. This classical maxim is used culturally and creatively to express a profound state of terror, heartbreaking grief, or psychological revulsion felt by a person at the moment they are forced to recall a traumatic event, a tragedy, or extreme past suffering.
