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.

The Condition Of Alienation, Of Being Asleep, Of Being Unconscious, Of Being Out Of One’s Mind, Is The Condition Of The Normal Man. Society Highly Values Its Normal Man. It Educates Children To Lose Themselves And To Become Absurd, And Thus To Be Normal. Normal Men Have Killed Perhaps 100,000,000 Of Their Fellow Normal Men In The Last Fifty Years.
