That mind which understands itself is the mind of a free man.

The freedom of an individual depends upon that individual's freedom to alter his considerations of space, energy, time and life and his roles in it. If he cannot change his mind about these, he is then fixed and enslaved amidst barriers such as those of the physical universe, and barriers of his own creation. Man thus is seen to be enslaved by barriers of his own creation. He creates these barriers himself, or by agreeing with things which hold these barriers to be actual.

It requires real strength to love Man. And to love him despite all invitations to do otherwise, all provocations and all reasons why one should not.

When a man has a problem very thoroughly and can't solve it, he really has too few problems. He needs more.

Dianetics is a milestone for man comparable to his discovery of fire and superior to his invention of the wheel and the arch.

Writing for a penny a word is ridiculous. If a man wanted to make a million dollars, the best way would be to start his own religion.

Like the bright, cool dawn after a night of prison and of thunder, Man can taste that freedom sought so long.

The one impulse in man which cannot be erased is his impulse toward freedom, his impulse toward sanity, toward higher levels of attainment in all of his endeavors.

Single men and determined groups have been the only makers of space in which man could walk free.
