• I am well aware that there is such a great craving in man for heroism and the heroic, and that hero worship forms not a small motif in his complex. I am also aware that, unless man believes in his own heroism and the heroism of others, he cannot achieve much or great things. We must, however, take proper care that we do not make a fetish of this cult of hero-worship, for then we will turn ourselves into votaries of false gods and prophets.

  Aung San

• Si lo pensamos detenidamente, vemos que la breve euforia que experimentamos al apaciguar los impulsos sensuales puede no ser muy diferente de lo que siente el drogadicto cuando se entrega a su hábito. Al alivio temporal le sigue pronto el ansia de más. Y del mismo modo que consumir drogas al final sólo causa problemas, lo mismo ocurre con muchas de las cosas que emprendemos para satisfacer nuestros deseos sensoriales inmediatos.

• 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.

  Wilhelm Reich

• Los animales comparten con nosotros el privilegio de tener alma ¡Ay, qué maldad tragar carne en nuestra propia carne, engordar nuestros cuerpos codiciosos atiborrando otros cuerpos, hacer que una criatura viva se alimente de la muerte de otra! En medio de tanta riqueza como la que proporciona la tierra, la mejor de las madres, nada os satisface, sino comportaros como los cíclopes, infligiendo lamentables heridas con crueles dientes. No podéis aplacar las hambrientas ansias de vuestros malvados y glotones estómagos si no es destruyendo alguna otra vida.

• For a bag of pepper, they could cut each other's throats without hesitation, and would forswear their souls... The bizarre obstinacy of that desire made them defy death in a thousand shapes; the unknown seas, the loathsome diseases; wounds, captivity, hunger, pestilence and despair. It made them great! By heavens! It made them heroic; and it made them pathetic, too, in their craving for trade with the inflexible death levying its toll on young and old

• You may give a piece of bread to a hungry person, and when the cravings of hunger return some one else must administer to his wants again; to put that person in a position to earn his own subsistence is true charity; in this way you direct his feet in the path of true independence, he is then only dependent on his own exertions and on the blessings of his God.

• [T]he unsympathetic assessments we make of others are usually the result of nothing more sinister than our habit of looking at them in the wrong way, through lenses clouded by distraction, exhaustion and fear, which blind us to the fact that they are really, despite a thousand differences, just altered versions of ourselves: fellow fragile, uncertain, flawed beings likewise craving love and in urgent need of forgiveness.

  Today on the flesh of a hare: tomorrow it can
  Howl the same way for the flesh of a man.

• We believe, and so suggested a few years ago, that the action of alcohol on these chronic alcoholics is a manifestation of an allergy; that the phenomenon of craving is limited to this class and never occurs in the average temperate drinker. These allergic types can never safely use alcohol in any form at all; and once having formed the habit and found they cannot break it, once having lost their self confidence, their reliance upon things human, their problems pile up on them and become astonishingly difficult to solve.
