Wilhelm Reich - From the Accomplishment category:

Not until man is willing to recognize his animal nature - in the good sense of the word - will he create genuine culture. (Wilhelm Reich)
Wilhelm Reich - From the Danger category:
A living creature develops a destructive impulse when it wants to destroy a source of danger... The original motive is not pleasure in destruction... 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... (Wilhelm Reich)

It is sexual energy which governs the structure of human feeling and thinking. (Wilhelm Reich)

Wilhelm Reich - From the Health category:
-The Function of the Orgasm, 1927...
Psychic health depends on orgastic potency, i.e., upon the degree to which one can surrender to and experience the climax of excitation in the natural sexual act.

Wilhelm Reich - From the Pleasure category:
-The Function of the Orgasm, 1927...
The pleasure of living and the pleasure of the orgasm are identical. Extreme orgasm anxiety forms the basis of the general fear of life. (Wilhelm Reich)

-Contact with Space, 1957...
Am I a Spaceman? Do I belong to a new race on earth, bred by men from outer space in embraces with earth women? (Wilhelm Reich)
