"Some people leave artwork, some people do rude things, other people then turn those rude things into nice things."

"States will invent obscure constructs like white privilege and male privilege because they are convenient to further the state's ends. They are untestable, unmeasurable, and unprovable, but they sound legitimate to those who consider themselves a casualty of society. Despite the lack of evidence, they put the burden on the white male to disprove the accuser. Since no such constructs exist, no method of defense is possible."

"The acknowledgement of having suffered evil is the greatest step forward in mental health."

"The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their proper names. Solders are paid killers, and I say this with a great degree of sympathy to young men and women who are suckered into a life of evil through propaganda and the labeling of heroic to a man in costume who kills for money and the life of honor is accepting ordered killings for money, prestige, and pensions. We create the possibility of moral choice by communicating truth about ethics to people. That to me is where real heroism and real respect for the dead lies. Real respect for the dead lies in exhuming the corpses and hearing what they would say if they could speak out; and they would say: If any ask us why we died tell it's because our fathers lied, tell them it's because we were told that charging up a hill and slaughtering our fellow man was heroic, noble, and honorable. But these hundreds of millions of ghosts encircled the world in agony, remorse will not be released from our collective unconscious until we lay the truth of their murders on the table and look at the horror that is the lie; that murder for money can be moral, that murder for prestige can be moral."

"Sorry, but I have to be who I am. Everyone else is taken... So be yourself! Speak your truth - if there are people around you who tempt you with non-existence blast through that and give them the full glory of who you are. Do not withhold yourself from the world. Do not piss on the incandescent gift of your existence. Do not drown yourself in the petty fog and dustiness of other people's ancient superstitions, un-beliefs, aggressions, culture and crap! No! Be a flare! We were born that way. Born perfectly happy being inconvenient to our parents. We shit, piss, cry, wake up at night, throw up on their shoulders, scream... We are, in essence, in our humanity, perfectly comfortable with inconveniencing others. That's how we're born, how we grow and develop. I choose to inconvenience the irrational."

"Spiritual: religion without any rules. All the comfort of fictitious friends with none of their demands."

"The contents of people?s minds, the belief systems that they hold, are in no way, shape or form a result of any objective evaluation of information. The prejudices are inherited. They are socially inflicted. They are propagandized in school, in church, in communities, in families. They are reinforced by endless bouts of patriotic media and other sorts of nonsense. People are just an emotional Gordian knot, kaleidoscopic clusterfrack of prior prejudices [which have been] stuffed into their heads and held aloft by the spears of social approval or ostracism. Everybody is prejudiced, almost, and everybody maintains those prejudices for fear of social attack, ostracism, or disapproval."

"The best way to destroy the decrepit is to build the glorious."

"The continual manufacture of enemies is essential to the growth of the fascist state."

"The belief systems people hold are absolutely, in no way, shape, or form the result of any objective evaluation of information. The prejudices are inherited, they?re socially inflicted, they?re propagandized in school, in church, in communities, in families. They are reinforced by endless bouts of patriotic media and all of this nonsense. People are an emotional Gordian knot kaleidoscopic clusterfrack of prior prejudices stuffed into their heads and held aloft by the spears of social approval and ostracism."

"The British people hate successful people; that's why our newspapers are so successful -- because we as a nation build people up, and as soon as they smell success we smash them down into the ground again!"

"The degree to which the psychiatric community is complicit with abusive parents in drugging non-compliant children is a war crime across the generations, and there will be a Nuremberg at some point in the future"

"The engine isn't finished. Her buttocks are wrong."

"The entire Nazi war machine was only possible because of past, present and future violations of the non-aggression principle (achievable only through government)."

"The fact I have to filter those friends by their skill and by what they're able to do... There's an incredible opportunity there."

"The genuine values in America arose from rational thought and breaking with tradition, not from blind allegiance to dirt and cloth."

"The government is ethics rape in perpetuity."

"The idea that the State is capable of solving social problems is now viewed with great skepticism - which foretells a coming change. As soon as skepticism is applied to the State, the State falls, since it fails at everything except increasing its power, and so can only survive on propaganda, which relies on unquestioning faith."

"The law is an opinion with a gun."

"The government is a giant logjam in the eternal river of human potential."

"The idea that there are all these people who are going to make all these great and wise decisions with guns. Because you know all the people who can make the best decisions in the world always want to be armed; because they are really smart, really wise, know exactly what should be done in society so naturally they want lots of guns. You get how insane that is right? The only people who want to force you to do stuff are people who know their ideas are shit to begin with. It's a basic fact of life that anyone who wants to force you to do something means their ideas are shit to begin with. Not a lot of rapists are very good lovers because they don't have to sell quality; they got violence. Everyone is mad at Barack Obama's website from hell but they [the government] don't care because if you don't pay them they will throw you in jail. The people with the best ideas are the most voluntary. The best parents don't beat their children. In fact if you beat your children you are saying 'I'm a shitty parent; I don't know what I'm doing and I'm pretty sadistic.' A rapist is saying I'm not a good boyfriend. Why do we even need to say this? People with guns are saying to your face, 'My ideas suck, I'm a bully, I get a thrill out of power so fucking do what I say or I'll shoot you in the ass."

"The manic relief that comes from the fantasy that we can with one savage slash cut the chains of the past and rise like a phoenix, free of all history, is generally a tipping point into insanity, akin to believing that we can escape the endless constraints of gravity, and fly off a tall building. I?m freeeee? SPLAT!."

"The moment I realized that my history was an excuse for nothing, was the moment I was freed from my history. The great danger of history is that we use it as an excuse and remain trapped in it. I cannot blame my history for anything, and therefore I have to have high standards for myself."

"The more times you die, the more you get scarred, the more ugly and disfigured you will look, and the more the world will react."

"The major abscess in the mind is a lack of acknowledgement of evil."

"The only part of you that hurts when you're given the truth is the part that lives on lies."

"The only relationships that exist are based on truth. Everything else is just a mutual and isolating delusion."

"The most powerful story I could possibly tell is a story that reminds you of your own childhood. We.ve all had times in our childhood, common experiences when we felt down, and we felt up, or we celebrated doing something for the first time, and I loved that thought."

"The move towards the extension of personhood to children is already underway, and is utterly, completely and totally unstoppable!"

"The principals are quite simple. We can love people who treat us well. We cannot love people who treat us badly because, treating someone badly is not a virtue and we can only love virtue. I don?t think that?s controversial. I mean, there is no marriage therapist that I can imagine in the world who would say to a woman being beaten, humiliated, verbally abused, or completely ignored by her husband, You just need to love him more. You need to work at making him happier. That would be sadistic in the extreme to say to someone. So, in the same way I say, if anyone, I don?t care if they are your priest, god, father, mother, or your Siamese twin cousin coming out of your elbow or ass. I don?t care. If someone is treating you badly, that is not good for you. The solution is not you being so great that you both become better. That?s not a realistic solution."

"The three most important words in a relationship are not, 'I love you,' but, 'Tell me more?."

"The touch, the grab, the stroke, all of those things we're going to be obsessed about."

"The ruling classes use broken and smashed up childhoods as weaponized instruments of domination around the world. This is why the government has no incentive to end child abuse; because the government needs abuse victims as enforcers."

"The true self is that which is in touch with reality. The false self is the aspects of your personality that are adapted to threats and no longer consciously recognizes either the adaptation or the threat."

"The unconscious is the true accumulation of your history."

"The trauma and horrors of this century of staggering bloodshed of the brief respite of the 19th century. This addiction to blood and the idea that if we pour more bodies into the hole of the mass graves of the 20th century, if we pour more bodies and more blood we can build some sort of cathedral to a better place but it doesn't happen. We can throw as many young men and woman as we want into this pit of slaughter and it will never be full. It will never do anything other than sink and recede further into the depths of hell. We can?t build a better world on bodies. We can?t build peace on blood. If we don't look back and see the army of the dead of the 20th century calling out for us to see that they died to enslave us. That whenever there was a war the government grew and grew."

"The trouble with a lot of Hollywood stuff is?I'm so bored with it. James Bond, Tom Cruise?the character of the hero is locked in concrete. He must have a love interest, they must end up in bed, he never talks under torture. The only surprise is whether they're on top of a cliff or under water."

"The war is against children, and all the other wars are just a shadow of the war on children."

"The whole purpose of propaganda is to make the obvious seem obscure, or offensive"

"The whole of your body, except for your private parts, can be scarred. You are clothed most of the time, but not in front of your wife, and not when you swim, either. Don't forget, it's the emotion of being scarred."

"There is no external solution to the problem of insecurity."

"There is an acorn, and it is a golden acorn. We're taking acorns to the next level."

"There?s nothing lonelier than empty relationships. At least when you?re alone you can be yourself, but when you?re in empty relationships you can?t even be yourself. You can be real alone, or you can be a ghost with false friends. Pulse proximity is not intimacy, and it?s worse than no friends at all."

"There's great peace in surrendering to principles."

"There's this new thing called the digital relationship: we have a digital relationship with players now."

"There is nothing that is going to make people hate you more, and love you more, than telling the truth."

"There's this myth around that people believe that the way to honor deaths of so many of millions of people; that the way to honor is to say that we achieved some tangible, positive, good, out of their death's. That's how we are supposed to honor their deaths. We can try and rescue some positive and forward momentum of human progress, of human virtue from these hundreds of millions of death's but we don't do it by pretending that they'd died to set us free because we are less free; far less free now then we were before these slaughters began. These people did not die to set us free. They did not die fighting any enemy other than the ones that the previous deaths created."

"They could start combining magic together and switching between guns and swords, because they were the same."

"These poor young men and woman propagandized into an undead ethical status lied to about what is noble, virtuous, courageous, honorable, decent, and good to the point that they're rolling hand grenades into children's rooms and the illusion that, that is going to make the world a better place. We have to stare this in the face if we want to remember why these people died. They did not die to set us free. They did not die to make the world a better place. They died because we are ruled by sociopaths. The only thing that can create a better world is the truth is the virtue is the honor and courage of standing up to the genocidal lies of mankind and calling them lies and ultimate corruptions."

"They did the best they could with the knowledge they had. How the fuck did people know that? They didn't have no way of knowing that. Even if they did the best they could with the knowledge they had, why the hell didn't they have better knowledge? I mean, then nobody should ever fail an exam because everyone who Wright's an exam is doing the best they can with the knowledge they have. If I don't study for geography exam then I flunk out. Can I then say wait, just like the people who get a A I was doing the best I could with the knowledge I had. That's not an excuse for a 6 year old with a goddamn spelling B. How the hell is it an excuse for parents in full control of a developing human mind? If you don't study for the exam you fucking fail and if you don't study for parenting you fucking fail. You don't get to say that you did the best you could with the knowledge you had. Fuck that. That's a bullshit cop-out. You goddamn will study. It's a little more important raising a child than passing a spelling B when you're 6 goddamn years old. You goddamn will study and if you don't study you?re more culpable."
