To Regard Human Beings As Tools - As Instruments - For The Use Of Other Human Beings Is Not Only Unscientific But It Is Repugnant, Stupid And Short Sighted. Tools Are Made By Man But Have Not The Autonomy Of Their Maker - They Have Not Man's Time-binding Capacity For Initiation, For Self-direction, And Self-improvement.

If We, Who Live Outside Asylums, Act As If We Lived In A Fictitious World- That Is To Say, If We Are Consistent With Our Beliefs- We Cannot Adjust Ourselves To Actual Conditions, And So Fall Into Many Avoidable Semantic Difficulties. But The So-called Normal Person Practically Never Abides By His Beliefs, And When His Beliefs Are Building For Him A Fictitious World, He Saves His Neck By Not Abiding By Them. A So-called "insane" Person Acts Upon His Beliefs, And So Cannot Adjust Himself To A World Which Is Quite Different From His Fancy.
