“In the irrational universe of demanded spontaneity, the power of state reaches beyond the prohibition of acts contrary to society, assigning itself the task of prescribing the citizen's thoughts and convictions. To quote Revel's concise conclusion, 'C'est dans les soci茅ti茅s totalitaires que l'Etat se charge de 'donner un sens' 脿 la vie des 锚tres' ['In totalitarian societies the state assumes the task of giving life a meaning']. Thus original thought becomes treason, and life becomes a hell of a particular kind.”
― Paul Watzlawick, M眉nchhausen's Pigtail, or Psychotherapy & "Reality"
