“Have we despised what the world esteems and esteemed what it despises? Have we fled what it wants and wanted what it flees? Have we loved what it hates and hated what it loves?”

Louis Tronson (1622–1700) French Roman Catholic priest

Avons-nous pour cela méprisé ce qu'il estime, et estimé ce qu'il méprise? Avons nous fui ce qu'il recherche , et recherché ce qu'il fuit? Avons-nous aimé ce qu'il hait, et haï ce qu'il aime?

“We are effectively destroying ourselves by violence masquerading as love.”

Ronald David Laing book The Politics of Experience

Source: The Politics of Experience (1967), p. 58
Context: We are effectively destroying ourselves by violence masquerading as love. I am a specialist, God help me, in events in inner space and time, in experiences called thoughts, images, reveries, dreams, visions, hallucinations, dreams of memories, memories of dreams, memories of visions, dreams of hallucinations, refractions of refractions of refractions of that original Alpha and Omega of experience and reality, that Reality on whose repression, denial, splitting, projection, falsification, and general desecration and profanation our civilisation as much as anything is based.
