""Mit Sicherheit weiß ich nur das eine, daß die Werturteile der Menschen unbedingt von ihren Glückswünschen geleitet werden, also ein Versuch sind, ihre Illusionen mit Argumenten zu stützen. […] Die Schicksalsfrage der Menschenart scheint mir zu sein, ob und in welchem Maße es ihrer Kulturentwicklung gelingen wird, der Störung des Zusammenlebens durch den menschlichen Aggressions- und Selbstvernichtungstrieb Herr zu werden." — Das Unbehagen in der Kultur, Leipzig IPV 1930, Seite 136 (Kapitel VIII Schlußfolgerungen: Schicksalsfrage der Beherrschung des Agrresions- und Selbstvernichtungstriebs am Ende bei textlog.de)"
