More quotes by Wilhelm Reich
Every seemingly arbitrary destructive action is a reaction of the organism to the frustration of a gratification of a vital need, especially of a sexual need.
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
No man-made law ever, no matter whether derived from the past or projected onto a distant, unforeseeable future, can or should ever be empowered to claim that it is greater than the Natural Law from which it stems and to which it must inevitably return in the eternal rhythm of creation and decline of all things natural.
Wilhelm Reich
If freedom means, first of all, the responsibility of every individual for the rational determination of his own personal, professional and social existence, then there is no greater fear than that of the establishment of general freedom.
Wilhelm Reich
The fact that Hitler was a political genius unmasks the nature of politics in general as no other fact can.
Wilhelm Reich
See yourself as you really are. Listen to what none of your leaders and representatives dares tell you: You are a little, common man. Understand the double meaning of these words: little and common. Don't run. Have the courage to look at yourself!
Wilhelm Reich
On all sides, life is surrounded by hostility. This puts us under an obligation.
Wilhelm Reich
The sexual drive is nothing but the motor memory of previously remembered pleasure.
Wilhelm Reich
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.
Wilhelm Reich
Am I a spaceman? Do I belong to a new race on earth, bred by men from outer space in embraces with earth women?
Wilhelm Reich
Scientific theory is a contrived foothold in the chaos of living phenomena.
Wilhelm Reich
It is the basic evasion of the essential which is the problem of man.
Wilhelm Reich
And first and foremost, think straight, trust the quiet inner voice that tells you what to do. You hold your life in your hands, don't entrust it to anyone else, least of all to your chosen leaders. BE YOURSELF! Any number of great men have told you that.
Wilhelm Reich
In its pure form, fascism is the sum total of all irrational reactions of the average human character.
Wilhelm Reich
For centuries great, brave, lonely men have been telling you what to do. Time and again you have corrupted, diminished and demolished their teachings time and again you have been captivated by their weakest points, taken not the great truth, but some trifling error as your guiding principal.
Wilhelm Reich
Love, work and knowledge are the well-springs of our life. They should also govern it.
Wilhelm Reich
Fascism is the frenzy of sexual cripples.
Wilhelm Reich
The vital energies regulate themselves naturally without compulsive duty or compulsive morality both of which are sure signs of existing antisocial impulses.
Wilhelm Reich
The few bad poems which occasionally are created during abstinence are of no great interest.
Wilhelm Reich
The elimination of individual capitalists and the replacement of private capitalism by state capitalism in Russia has not in the least altered the typical helpless and authoritarian character structure of the masses of people.
Wilhelm Reich
