« The basic unity of social evolution is the individual, his desires, his fears, his passions and his reason, his propensities for good and evil. To grasp the strength lines of social evolution, we must understand the psychological motives acting within the individual, just as to understand the individual, we must situate it from the perspective of the civilization that forms it. »

« In the alienated activity, I do not feel myself as the active subject of my activity; rather, I experience the result of my activity, and this, as something that is "out there", that is separated from me, that stands beyond me and against me. In an alienated activity, I do not actually act, I am acted upon by external or internal forces. I became separated from the product of my business. »
