There are no innocent bystanders.

Belief is a meaningless word. What does it mean? I believe something. Okay, now you have someone who is hearing voices and believes in these voices. It doesn't mean they have any necessary reality. Your whole concept of your "I" is an illusion. You have to give something called an "I" before you speak of what the "I" believes.

The program of the ruling elite in Orwell's 1984 was: "A foot stamping on a human face forever!" This is naive and optimistic. No species could survive for even a generation under such program. This is not a program of eternal, or even long-range dominance. It is clearly an extermination program.

If you talk you always end up with politics, it gets nowhere. I mean man it's strictly from the soft typewriter.

Artists to my mind are the real architects of change, and not the political legislators who implement change after the fact.

If, after spending time with a person, you feel as though you've lost a quart of plasma, avoid that person in the future.

Perhaps all pleasure is only relief.
