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

The Satanist realizes that man, and the action and reaction of the universe, is responsible for everything, and doesn't mislead himself into thinking that someone cares.

There are television sets in every home, every restaurant, every hotel room, every shopping mall-now they’re even small enough to carry in your pocket like electronic rosaries. It is an unquestioned part of everyday life. Kneeling before the cathode ray God, with our TV Guide concordance in hand, we maintain the illusion of choice by flipping channels (chapters and verses). It doesn’t matter what is flashing on the screen-all that’s important is that the TV stays on.

I've always been timid. I wait for the mating signal, yet I want to show my interest, but I'm too goddamn bashful to go for it! I have no sympathy for wolves. Why can't a man wait and see if there is any interest in them? Every woman wants to be pursued, it's a courting dance, a mating game and it should be that way, played out. The world is full of creeps.

Why should I not hate mine enemies―if I "love" them does that not place me at their mercy?

Before none of your printed idols do I bend in acquiescence, and he who saith "thou shalt" to me is my mortal foe!

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