 Why does Price believe it is important for everyone in the world to be Cured?
The people we treat are on one side of the line and we're on the other. "I dunno, Henry, but staying on our side is a pretty good way to keep sane Do you know that what we are doing is really the most primitive medicine in the world? One cannibal walking another with sleeping sickness doesn't cure anything. But now I know we're semi-mechanics, semi-engineers, semi-inventors, semi lots of other things, but certainly not even semi-psychiatrists. A psychiatrist wouldn't give a foetic gyro to a man with claustrophobia." "You know, Henry, not all of our Cures are so—so—not all are like that. Yet for a nominal sum, the patient is equipped to hear the soothing recorded voice of his mother saying, 'It's all right, everything's all right, Mommy loves you, it's all right....'" Or suppose he's walking down a railroad track and hears a train whistle—if he can hear anything over that verbal pablum gushing in his ear." With that image over everything he sees and with that insidious voice drumming in his head night and day, do you mean to say that man's senses will only be impaired 23 per cent? Why, he'll turn violently schizophrenic sooner or later—and you know it. Many "Cures" were not readily apparent. A young man with black glasses and a radar headset (a photophobe) was unable to keep from being pushed against Infield. People take one look at your Cure and don't ask you to go walking in the rain. "It's a cure for alcoholism," Price told him. It can't be removed without causing my death and it's indestructible. Men hide in the comforts of insanity, but when faced with death, they are often forced back to reality. A fat man who smelled of the grease and alcohol of the tablecloths shuffled up to them with a towel on his arm, staring ahead of him at some point in time rather than space. His father once told him that if he didn't study his Bible and pray for him, his old dad would die." The Good Book says a little wine is good for a man, or something like that. It was useless to learn his Bible lessons to save his father, because it was obvious his father was dead. A man could cut his wrists with the edge of a sheet of paper if he tried long enough, so of course the Bible would be imaginary.
 He believes untreated, repressed fears may arise at any time and manifest as violence towards others.
 He believes untreated, repressed fears may arise at any time and manifest as violence towards others.  As a former psychiatrist, he believes it is essential for everyone to address their deep-seated issues, and pairing Cures with appropriate psychiatric therapy is the only way to do that.  He is a demagogical psychopath who wants to take advantage of people's fears and use them to gain control over society.  He is an idealist who believes that humanity can be perfected by the use of scientific and mechanical Cures.
