Until you find something to fight for, you settle for something to fight against.

The first step - especially for young people with energy and drive and talent, but not money - the first step to controlling your world is to control your culture. To model and demonstrate the kind of world you demand to live in. To write the books. Make the music. Shoot the films. Paint the art.

There are worse things you can do to the people you love than kill them. The regular way is just to watch the world do it. Just read the newspaper.

How I feel is cheap and used, dirty and humiliated. Dirty and tricked and thrown away.

When you don't share your problems, you resent hearing the problems of other people.

The best way to waste your life, is by taking notes. The easiest way to avoid living is to just watch. Look for the details. Report. Don't participate.

Some people are just born human, the rest of us, we take a lifetime to get there.
