Mankind is caught in the cycle of fear, apathy and hatred. These human instincts drive hierarchical political systems and bureaucracies that most often limit the basic human right of the pursuit of happiness. A society whose foundation is fear, apathy and hatred sets up a system which fundamentally affects the happiness of the individual. It represses individual development and maintains a cyclical behavioral pattern of superiority and inferiority and a class society founded on untrue ideals. –Mark Zimmerman
Sexual suppression supports the power of the Church, which has sunk very deep roots into the exploited masses by means of sexual anxiety and guilt. It engenders timidity towards authority and binds children to their parents. This results in adult subservience to state authority and to capitalistic exploitation. It paralyzes the intellectual critical powers of the oppressed masses because it consumes the greater part of biological energy. Finally, it paralyzes the resolute development of creative forces and renders impossible the achievement of all aspirations for human freedom. In this way the prevailing economic system (in which single individuals can easily rule entire masses) becomes rooted in the psychic structures of the oppressed themselves. –Wilhelm Reich
In religion and politics, people’s beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second hand, and without examination, from authorities who have not themselves examined the questions at issue, but have taken them at second hand from other non-examiners, who were not worth a brass farthing. –Mark Twain
I say that even as the holy and the righteous cannot rise beyond the highest which is in each of you, so the wicked and the weak cannot fall lower than the lowest which is in you also. –Kahlil Gibran
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. –Ephesians 6:12
Each of us is something of a schizophrenic personality, tragically divided against ourselves. –Martin Luther King, Jr.
None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.
-Goethe
"We are not in control of this planet, nor were we ever meant to be. We are delicate creatures, we humans, and we make poor rulers over something as strong, enduring, and infinite as nature."
"We don't see things as they are; we see them as we are." — Anais Nin
"Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent." — Robert Heinlein
“When an inner situation is not made conscious, it happens outside, as fate.” — C.G. Jung
