«How does life become totally painful? By total retreat. Total noninspection becomes total pain.[?]But existence is basically composed of a very few truths onto which have hung a great many artificialities and which man has adorned with enormous numbers of lies. And man is prisoner of his own shadows. Now one of the things you can do with man is to get him to look up and find out that he can look through the shadows and look at the shadows and find out what they are.»

«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.»

«All mankind lives and each man strives by codes of conduct mutually agreed. Perhaps these codes are good, perhaps they?re bad, it?s only evident they?re codes. Mores bind the race. Coaction then occurs. Thought and motion in accord. A oneness then of purpose and survival so results. But now against that code there is transgression. And so because the code was held, whatever code it was, and man sought comfort in man?s company, he held back his deed and so entered then the bourne in which no being laughs or has a freedom in his heart.»

«And when human rights are being thrown aside, ignored, well, there's no game in progress, that's all -- in spite of the childhood bible, the comic strip. It believes that only when you're permitted to murder, kill, rob and burn can a game be in progress. That is the message carried to us by the Sunday papers. And that is the message which every child erroneously learns.»

«There are few strong new forces in the world today. Man?s civilization is tired, fed up with war, poverty and crime.Perhaps it is natural that anyone who offered help would also be fought at first.

«To say that I have found the answer to all riddles of the soul would be inaccurate and presumptuous. [But] in the knowledge I have developed there must lie the answers to that riddle, to that enigma, to that problem - the human soul - for under my hands and others, was seen the best in man rehabilitated. I discovered that a human being is not his body and demonstrated that through Scientology an individual can attain certainty of his identity apart from that of the body. We cannot deal in the realm of the human soul and ignore the fact.»
