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

Deep connection is the antidote to madness.

One of the best ways of repressing emotions is artificial certainty.

The unconscious is the true accumulation of your history. It can be accepted or rejected but it can't fundamentally be altered.

If you are for gun control, then you are not against guns, because the guns will be needed to disarm people. So it’s not that you are anti-gun. You’ll need the police’s guns to take away other people’s guns. So you’re very Pro-Gun, you just believe that only the Government (which is, of course, so reliable, honest, moral and virtuous…) should be allowed to have guns. There is no such thing as gun control. There is only centralizing gun ownership in the hands of a small, political elite and their minions.

We are not taught to fear our politicians, who can debase our currency, throw us in prison and send us to war - but rather we are taught to fear each other. We are taught to imagine that the real predators in this world are not those who control prison cells, national debts and nuclear weapons, but rather our fellow citizens, who in the absence of brutal control would surely tear us apart!

Truth has nothing to do with the conclusion, and everything to do with the methodology.
