If a guest in your lair annoys you, treat him cruelly and without mercy.

Up is down, pleasure is pain, darkness is light, slavery is freedom, madness is sanity.

There is no heaven, there is no hell, except here on Earth.

We are so inculcated with guilt that we think that weakness is a sin or that it is some crime against nature to be submissive.

There is nothing inherently sacred about moral codes. Like the wooden idols of long ago, they are the work of human hands, and what man has made, man can destroy!

How could you set yourself up as the most powerful institution on earth? You first find out what every man feels at least once a day, establish that as a sin, and set yourself up as the only institution capable of pardoning that sin.

There is no heaven of glory bright, and no hell where sinners roast. Here and now is our day of torment! Here and now is our day of joy! Here and now is our opportunity! Choose ye this day, this hour, for no redeemer liveth!
