“A woman who does not know herself has no choice other than to live with other people’s evaluations. But no one can adapt perfectly to public opinion. And herein lies the source of their destruction.”

“Morals meant the advent of tranquility, and tranquility meant the end of revolutionary fervor. Therefore, the state must promote immorality. Given man's natural and inordinate inclination to pleasure, the immorality most congenial to manipulation is sexual immorality. Hence the revolutionary state must promote sexual license if it is to remain truly revolutionary and retain its hold on power.”

― Libido Dominandi: Sexual Liberation and Political Control
“The best way to control a man is to do so without his awareness that he is being controlled, and the best way to do that is through the systematic manipulation of passions, because man tends to identify his passions as his own. In defending them, he defends his ”freedom”, which he usually sees as the unfettered ability to fulfill his desires, without, for the most part, understanding how easy it is to manipulate those passions from without.”

“Și noi toți, care ne uitam în sus, am înțeles deodată ce înseamnă lejeritatea. Am înțeles cum poate fi viața pentru unul care face cu adevărat ce își dorește, nu crede în nimic și nu ascultă de nimeni. Am priceput cum ar fi să fii un astfel de om și am mai priceput că noi nu vom fi niciodată astfel de oameni.”
