« One reader wrote to me: "If Hitler had had five sons to avenge the torture inflicted on him as a child, the Jewish people would probably not have been massacred. You can let go of all that you once suffered on your own child with impunity, because the murder of your own child's soul can always be camouflaged under words such as education and discipline learning.

« It is not true that evil, destruction, perversion are necessarily part of human existence, even if it is repeated all the time. But it is true that evil is constantly reproducing and that it is creating for millions of human beings an ocean of suffering that could also be avoided. When the ignorance resulting from the refoulements of childhood is lifted and humanity is awakened, this production of evil can be stopped. »

« It is not a question of condemning the parents as a whole, but of placing themselves from the point of view of the child suffering and who has no right to speak, to renounce an attachment that I describe as destructive. It consists, as I have already said above, of a mixture of gratitude, pity, refoulement, embellishment of reality, as well as many expectations, always vain and doomed to remain so. »
