“Ogni specie di moralismo è negazione della vita.”

Wilhelm Reich

“Forse il mio senso morale rifiuta questi discorsi: eppure, in base alla mia esperienza e all'osservazione di me stesso e degli altri, sono arrivato alla persuasione che la sessualità è il centro di gravitazione intorno al quale ruota non solo la vita intima dell'individuo, ma anche tutta la vita sociale.”

Wilhelm Reich

dal diario nel 1919; citato in Lodovico De Cesare, Lo psicanalista senza divano, Historia, luglio 1978, n. 245, Cino del Duca

“Freud mi parlò come se fosse una persona normale. Aveva occhi ardenti ed intelligenti. Guardavano semplicemente, in modo onesto e sincero e non cercavano di frugare dentro l'interlocutore. Si informò sul nostro lavoro e lo trovò molto sensato. Disse che avevamo ragione e che era deplorevole che nei confronti della sessualità non si mostrasse alcun interesse o si mostrasse un interesse sbagliato. Aggiunse che sarebbe stato molto contento di prestarci i libri di cui avevamo bisogno… Mi ero recato da lui abbastanza intimorito e quando mi accomiatai invece mi sentii felice con un senso di simpatia ed amicizia… Quell'incontro fu l'inizio di quattordici anni di intenso lavoro nel campo psicoanalitico insieme al grande maestro.”

“Marx era un sociologo e non uno psicologo e a quel tempo la psicologia scientifica non era ancora nata. Di conseguenza, il problema di sapere come mai gli uomini abbiano sopportato per migliaia di anni lo sfruttamento e l'avvilimento, in una parola, l'asservimento, è rimasto senza risposta.”

Wilhelm Reich

da Psicologia di massa del fascismo, 1933

“I pochi brutti poemi che sono stati creati occasionalmente sotto l'effetto che procura l'astinenza non sono di grande interesse.”

“I had directed drawpipes, connected with the deep well, toward an ordinary star, and the start had faded out four times. There was no mistake about it. Three more people had seen it. There was only one conclusion: The thing we had drawn from was not a star. It was something else; a UFO.”

Die Sexualität im Kulturkampf [The Sexual Revolution] (1936)

“A living creature develops a destructive impulse when it wants to destroy a source of danger. In this case, the destruction or killing of the object is the biologically purposeful goal. The original motive is not pleasure in destruction. Rather the destruction serves the "life instinct"…and is an attempt to avoid anxiety and to preserve the ego in its totality. I destroy in a dangerous situation because I want to live and do not want to have any anxiety. In short, the impulse to destroy serves a primary biological will to live…”

Orgonotic Pulsation in International Journal of Sex-Economy and Orgone-Research, Vol. 3, No. 1, (March, 1944); Reich throughout his writings seems to use the word "mysticism" in a sense strongly related to claims of "mystical authority over others" and on the impositions made by such faith, rather than in its more common use as a word denoting a respect for "mystical insight apart from others" without necessarily any claim to authority over them.

“Psychic disturbances are the consequences of the sexual chaos of society. For thousands of years, this chaos has had the function of psychically subjecting man to the prevailing conditions of existence, of internalizing the external mechanization of life. It has served to bring about the psychic anchoring of a mechanized and authoritarian civilization by making man incapable of functioning independently.”

Listen, Little Man! (1948)

“The absolute and static were even taken over by such dynamically oriented psychological schools as the Freudian in the form of the permanent unconscious ideas. In Jung, the unconscious psychic life was enlarged to the static "racial unconscious" and to the static "collective unconscious". Along with the static viewpoint, these psychologies took over the idea of guilt, even after their separation from philosophy. In so doing, they fell into a cul de sac from which there was no way out.”

“The character structure of modern man, who reproduces a six-thousand-year-old patriarchal authoritarian culture is typified by characterological armoring against his inner nature and against the social misery which surrounds him. This characterolgical armoring of the character is the basis of isolation, indigence, craving for authority, fear of responsibility, mystic longing, sexual misery, and neurotically impotent rebelliousness.”
