If you want to become a concert pianist, do it every day. You want to be a writer, do it every day. You want to become depressed, think depressing thoughts every day. You want to become an optimist, think a cheerful thought every day. Do it every day.

Ye have locked yerselves up in cages of fear and, behold, do ye now complain that ye lack FREEDOM!

Creativity has a touch of the bizarre

I don't believe anything, but I have many suspicions.

Groups are grammatical fictions; only individuals exist, and each individual is different.

I like pacifists and people who have a heavy emotional identification with deathism and war would probably call me a pacifist, but I am a non-invasivist rather than a non-violentist. That is, I believe that an invaded people have the right to defend themselves by any means necessary. This includes putting ground glass or poison in the invaders' food, shooting at them from ambush, sabotage, the general strike, armed revolution, etc. It's up to the invaded to decide which of these techniques they will use. It's not up to some moralist to tell them which techniques are permissible.

The totally convinced and the totally stupid have too much in common for the resemblance to be accidental.
