“True guilt is guilt at the obligation one owes to oneself to be oneself. False guilt is guilt felt at not being what other people feel one ought to be or assume that one is.”
- R.D. Laing (1927 – 1989), British psychiatrist: “The Self and Others”, 1961.
“What does terrorize me is to be an invalid strapped to a couch with ten different tubes coming out of me, immobile, consciousness barely functioning at all, barely able to speak, having my diapers changed. It is better to die than become a victim of the whole dying industry – religion, morticians, politicians.”
- Timothy Leary (1920 – 1996), American psychologist: on being diagnosed as suffering from cancer in January 1995, interview in “The Guardian” (London), December 2, 1995.
“Evil is being involved in the glamour and charm aspect of material existence – glamour in its old Gaelic sense, meaning enchantment with the look of things, rather than the soul of things.”
- Kenneth Anger (b. 1929) American film-maker and author: quoted in the “Sunday Correspondent” (London), January 14, 1990.
