For a person to feel responsible for his actions, he must sense that the behavior has flowed from the self.

Relatively few people have the resources needed to resist authority.

It is not so much the kind of person a man is as the kind of situation in which he finds himself that determines how he will act.

It is easy to ignore responsibility when one is only an intermediate link in a chain of action.

Only in action can you fully realize the forces operative in social behavior. That is why I am an experimentalist.

It may be that we are puppets-puppets controlled by the strings of society. But at least we are puppets with perception, with awareness. And perhaps our awareness is the first step to our liberation. (1974)

When an individual wishes to stand in opposition to authority, he does best to find support for his position from others in his group. The mutual support provided by men for each other is the strongest bulwark we have against the excesses of authority.
