• El hombre reprime las pasiones irracionales de la destructividad, el odio, la envidia, la venganza; adora el poder, el dinero, el Estado soberano, la nación; mientras rinde pleitesía a las enseñanzas de los grandes líderes espirituales de la raza humana, las de Buda, los profetas, Socrates, Jesús, Mahoma, ha transformado estas enseñanzas en una jungla de superstición y adoración de ídolos. ¿Cómo puede la humanidad salvarse de destruirse a sí misma por esta discrepancia entre la sobremadurez intelectual-técnica y el atraso emocional?

• La persona sádica depende tanto de la persona sumisa como ésta de la primera; ninguna puede vivir sin la otra. La diferencia es sólo que la persona sádica manda, explota, hiere, humilla, y que la persona masoquista es mandada, explotada, herida, humillada. Se trata de una diferencia considerable en un sentido realista; en un sentido emocional más profundo, la diferencia no es tan grande como lo que ambos tienen en común: fusión sin integridad .
