Image
In its pure form, fascism is the sum total of all irrational reactions of the average human character.
Wilhelm Reich
Image
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
Image
The discovery of orgone energy was made through consistent, thorough study of energy functions, first in the realm of the psyche, and later in the realm of biological functioning.
Wilhelm Reich
Image
Because you have no memory for things that happened ten or twenty years ago, you're still mouthing the same nonsense as two thousand years ago. Worse, you cling with might and main to such absurdities as 'race,' 'class,' 'nation,' and the obligation to observe a religion and repress your love.
Wilhelm Reich
Image
The sexual drive is nothing but the motor memory of previously remembered pleasure.
Wilhelm Reich
Image
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
Image
You think the end justifies the means, however vile. I tell you: the end is the means by which you achieve it. Today's step is tomorrow's life. Great ends cannot be attained by base means. You've proved that in all your social upheavals. The meanness and inhumanity of the means make you mean and inhuman and make the end unattainable.
Wilhelm Reich
Image
Love is the absence of Anxiety.
Wilhelm Reich
Image
The vital energies regulate themselves naturally without compulsive duty or compulsive morality both of which are sure signs of existing antisocial impulses.
Wilhelm Reich
Image
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
Image
It is the basic evasion of the essential which is the problem of man.
Wilhelm Reich
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I do not believe that to be religious in the best, authentic sense a man has to destroy his love life and mummify himself, body and soul.
Wilhelm Reich
Image
Only the liberation of the natural capacity for love in human beings can master their sadistic destructiveness.
Wilhelm Reich
Image
I observe to the letter all laws that make sense but combat those that are obsolete or absurd.
Wilhelm Reich
Image
You have no sense of your true duty, which is to be a man and preserve humanity. You imitate wise men so badly and bandits so well. Your movies and radio programs are full of murder.
Wilhelm Reich
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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.
