LISTEN LITTLE MAN
by WILHELM REICH


They call you ‘Little Man’, ‘Common Man’; they say a new era has begun, the ‘Era of the Common Man’. It isn’t
you who says so, Little Man. It is they, the Vice Presidents of great nations, promoted labor leaders, repentant sons of
bourgeois families, statesmen and philosophers. They give you your future but don’t ask about your past.

parts of the book that i love:

"You are a ‘Little Common Man’. Understand the double meaning of these words: ‘little: and ‘common’.
Don’t run. Have the courage to look at yourself!"

"Only you yourself
can be your liberator"

"You beg for happiness, but security
is more important for you"

"You think like a barrel, you educate like a barrel,
you try to impose upon this life your barrel shape,
your falseness, and your bitter hatred hidden
behind your false smile"

"You cannot tolerate any alive expression"
