More quotes by Wilhelm Reich
Scientific theory is a contrived foothold in the chaos of living phenomena.
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
On all sides, life is surrounded by hostility. This puts us under an obligation.
Wilhelm Reich
I observe to the letter all laws that make sense but combat those that are obsolete or absurd.
Wilhelm Reich
The suppression of natural sexual gratification leads to various kinds of substitute gratifications. Natural aggression, for example, becomes brutal sadism which then is an essential mass-psychological factor in imperialistic wars.
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
Most intellectual people do not believe in God, but they fear him just the same.
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
Not until man is willing to recognize his animal nature - in the good sense of the word - will he create genuine culture.
Wilhelm Reich
MAN IS FUNDAMENTALLY AN ANIMAL. Animals, as distinct from man, are not machine-like, not sadistic their societies, within the same species, are incomparably more peaceful than those of man. The basic question, then is: What has made the animal, man, degenerate into a machine?
Wilhelm Reich
Psychic health depends on orgastic potency, i.e., upon the degree to which one can surrender to and experience the climax of excitation in the natural sexual act. It is founded upon the healthy character attitude of the individual's capacity for love. Psychic illnesses are the result of a disturbance of the natural capacity for love.
Wilhelm Reich
Mistaking insolence for freedom has always been the hallmark of the slave.
Wilhelm Reich
Because I'm a man who works, who knows what a human being is like inside, who knows that every human being has his worth, and who wants the world to be governed by work and not by opinions about work.
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 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
The few bad poems which occasionally are created during abstinence are of no great interest.
Wilhelm Reich
Love, work and knowledge are the well-springs of our life. They should also govern it.
Wilhelm Reich
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
Love is the absence of Anxiety.
Wilhelm Reich
Follow the voice of your heart, even if it leads you off the path of timid souls. Do not become hard and embittered, even if life tortures you at times. There is only one thing that counts: to live one's life well and happily.
Wilhelm Reich
