More quotes by 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
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
In recent times, more and more human thinking has come to assume that the idea of a universal natural law and the idea of 'God' are pointing to one and the same reality.
Wilhelm Reich
Scientific theory is a contrived foothold in the chaos of living phenomena.
Wilhelm Reich
Love is the absence of Anxiety.
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.

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
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.
Wilhelm Reich
The unity and congruity of culture and nature, work and love, morality and sexuality, longed for from time immemorial, will remain a dream as long as man continues to condemn the biological demand for natural sexual gratification.
Wilhelm Reich

Wilhelm Reich
Love, work and knowledge are the well-springs of our life. They should also govern it.
Wilhelm Reich
Most intellectual people do not believe in God, but they fear him just the same.
Wilhelm Reich
On all sides, life is surrounded by hostility. This puts us under an obligation.
Wilhelm Reich
Make it plain that you have no time for war, that you have more important things to do....let the diplomats and marshals of the earth shoot each other.
Wilhelm Reich
Only the liberation of the natural capacity for love in human beings can master their sadistic destructiveness.
Wilhelm Reich
Only you yourself can be your liberator!
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
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
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
Honest pioneer work in the field of science has always been, and will continue to be, life's pilot. On all sides, life is surrounded by hostility. This puts us under an obligation.
