We live in a community of people not so that we can suppress and dominate eachother or make each other miserable but so that we can better and more reliably satisfy all life's healthy needs.

Love is the absence of Anxiety.

The question of how and why the encrustations and rigidifications of human emotional life are brought about led directly into the realm of vegetative life.

If the psychic energies of the average mass of people watching a football game or a musical comedy could be diverted into the rational channels of a freedom movement, they would be invincible.

Only the liberation of the natural capacity for love in human beings can master their sadistic destructiveness.

It is above all man's social position that decides whether he will sublimate his sadism as a butcher, surgeon, or policeman.

Mistaking insolence for freedom has always been the hallmark of the slave.
