In The Society Of Men The Truth

No One Acts Or Experiences In A Vacuum.

We Are Born Into A World Where Alienation Awaits Us. We Are Potentially Men, But Are In An Alienated State, And This State Is Not Simply A Natural System. Alienation As Our Present Destiny Is Achieved Only By Outrageous Violence Perpetrated By Human Beings On Human Beings.

Our Civilization Represses Not Only "the Instincts", Not Only Sexuality, But Any Form Of Transcendence. Among One-dimensional Men, It Is Not Surprising That Someone With An Insistent Experience Of Other Dimensions, That He Cannot Entirely Deny Or Forget, Will Run The Risk Either Of Being Destroyed By The Others, Or Of Betraying What He Knows.

Human Beings Seem To Have An Almost Unlimited Capacity To Deceive Themselves, And To Deceive Themselves Into Taking Their Own Lies For Truth.

To Live In The Past Or In The Future May Be Less Satisfying Than To Live In The Present, But It Can Never Be As Disillusioning.
