In the society of men the truth resides now less in what things are than in what they are not. Our social realities are so ugly if seen in the light of exiled truth, and beauty is no longer possible if it is not a lie.

Truth is literally that which is without secrecy, what discloses itself without a veil.

Doctors have throughout time made fortunes on killing their patients with their cures. The difference in psychiatry is that it is the death of the soul.

Normal men have killed perhaps 100,000,000 of their fellow normal men in the last fifty years.

We live in a moment of history where change is so speeded up that we begin to see the present only when it is already disappearing.

What we call "normal" is a product of repression, denial, splitting, projection, introjection, and other forms of destructive actions on experience...It is radically estranged from the structure of being.
