After a shooting spree, they always want to take the guns away from the people who didn't do it. i sure as hell wouldn't want to live in a society where the only people allowed guns are the police and the military. most of the trouble in this world has been caused by folks who can't mind their own business, because they have no business of their own to mind, any more than a smallpox virus has. nothing is true, everything is permitted. junk is the ideal product... the ultimate merchandise. no sales talk necessary. the client will crawl through a sewer and beg to buy. nobody owns life, but anyone who can pick up a frying pan owns death. the first and most important thing an individual can do is to become an individual again, decontrol himself, train himself as to what is going on and win back as much independent ground for himself as possible you were not there for the beginning. you will not be there for the end. your knowledge of what is going on can only be superficial and relative in the u.s. you have to be a deviant or die of boredom. thou shalt not be such a shit, you don't know you are one. it would get drunk, too, and have crying jags. and sticking candles up it, but... "it is you who will shut up that's the one thing it needed the eyes. and infiltrated and atrophied. the silent, helpless suffering the brain must have died....

Language is a virus from outer space. a functioning police state needs no police. anything that can be done chemically can be done by other means. the aim of education is the knowledge, not of facts, but of values. the cat does not offer services. the cat offers itself. of course he wants care and shelter. you don't buy love for nothing. the face of evil is always the face of total need. silence is only frightening to people who are compulsively verbalizing. if i had my way we'd sleep every night all wrapped around each other like hibernating rattlesnakes. your mind will answer most questions if you learn to relax and wait for the answer. there couldn't be a society of people who didn't dream. they'd be dead in two weeks. when you stop growing you start dying. every man has inside himself a parasitic being who is acting not at all to his advantage. you know a real friend? someone you know will look after your cat after you are gone. hustlers of the world, there is one mark you cannot beat: the mark inside. whether you like it or not, you are committed to the human endeavor. i cannot ally myself with such a purely negative goal as avoidance of suffering. suffering is a chance you take by the fact of being alive. nobody loved it. beating at it with his fists... "it is you who will shut up would have amputated spontaneously that's the one thing sealed off..

Black magic operates most effectively in preconscious, marginal areas. casual curses are the most effective. perhaps all pleasure is only relief. the face of evil is always the face of total need. i don't care if people hate my guts; i assume most of them do. the important question is whether they are in a position to do anything about it. the best way to keep something bad from happening is to see it ahead of time... and you can't see it if you refuse to face the possibility. he thought this was cute at first it would get drunk, too, and have crying jags. same as any other mouth. so, finally, his mouth sealed over... because the eyes went out....
