« It would be a remnant of the feudal pretension to believe that only the "uneducated masses" would be sensitive to propaganda, whereas we have seen time and time again intellectuals easily allow themselves to be won over in the cause of different dictatorships. Both Hitler and Stalin had surprisingly numerous followers among the intellectuals who admired them passionately. The ability not to reject perceived reality depends not in the least on the world of intelligence but on the relationship to the authentic self. On the contrary, intelligence can help to make countless detours when adaptation is necessary. »

« Every abused child probably has to adopt that kind of attitude `trying to find something positive in every atrocity experienced` to survive. He truncats his perceptions and tries to see a benefit in what, for an outside look, is clearly a crime. »
