More quotes by Wilhelm Reich
The Little Man does not know that he is little, and he is afraid of knowing it. He covers up his smallness and narrowness with illusions of strength and greatness...
Wilhelm Reich
I know that what you call 'God' really exists, but not in the form you think God is primal cosmic energy, the love in your body, your integrity, and your perception of the nature in you and outside of you.
Wilhelm Reich
Rooting in work is crucial to any accomplishment. Rooting in mere enthusiasm will in the long run force illusory measures to keep the fires of empty enthusiasm going. And this makes politics and politicians.
Wilhelm Reich
People should be _very_ careful when choosing the future fathers and mothers of their children. For that reason alone, it is extremely mean to demand a marriage certificate for life, just for one night of embracement.

Wilhelm Reich
Once we open up to the flow of energy within our body, we can also open up to the flow of energy in the universe.
Wilhelm Reich
Only one thing matters: live a good, happy life. Do your heart's bidding, even when it leads you on paths that timid souls would avoid. Even when life is a torment, don't let it harden you.
Wilhelm Reich
Man's right to know, to learn, to inquire, to make bona fide errors, to investigate human emotions must, by all means, be safe, if the word freedom should ever be more than an empty political slogan.
Wilhelm Reich
I observe to the letter all laws that make sense but combat those that are obsolete or absurd.
Wilhelm Reich
Work democracy does not wish to prevent or prohibit anything. Its only intention is the fulfilment of the biological life functions, of love, work and knowledge.
Wilhelm Reich
Mistaking insolence for freedom has always been the hallmark of the slave.
Wilhelm Reich
It is above all man's social position that decides whether he will sublimate his sadism as a butcher, surgeon, or policeman.
Wilhelm Reich
The few bad poems which occasionally are created during abstinence are of no great interest.
Wilhelm Reich
It is the basic evasion of the essential which is the problem of man.
Wilhelm Reich
Full sexual consciousness and a natural regulation of sexual life mean the end of mystical feelings of any kind. In other words, natural sexuality is the deadly enemy of mystical religion. The church, by making the fight over sexuality the center of its dogmas and of its influence over the masses, confirms this concept.
Wilhelm Reich
Emotional and physical states can be altered by changing the breathing pattern.
Wilhelm Reich
