  • Gun Control: A measure to ensure that guns always point in one direction.

  • Because I care about human beings, I want them to be free to do what is right for them. Isn't that more important than mere peace on earth? Isn't freedom, even dangerous freedom, preferable to the safest slavery, to peace bought with ignorance, cowardice, and submission?

  • Can we imagine a togetherness that isn't founded on gross generalizations, conceptualizing ourselves as unique individuals who still stand to gain from looking out for one another? Can we identify with each other rather than with categories or masters?

  • Historically, the 'deadline' was the line around a prison beyond which prisoners were eligible for shooting. In keeping with shifts in the exercise of control, what one was delineated spatially over life is now enforced temporarily over labor.

  • I always secretly looked forward to nothing going as planned. That way, I wasn't limited by my imagination. That way, anything can, and always did, happen.

  • The authorities don't grant concessions out of the kindness of their hearts; they simply concede the reality of what their subjects are strong enough to compel from them. If you want political leverage, don't beg for it, don't seek it through their channels - take power outside them.

  • If you are a warrior, the nature and scale of your enemies will determine the nature and scale of your actions. In this sense, it is even more important to choose your enemies more wisely than your friends.

  • Tomorrow will use you the way you use today.

  • Whom one is speaking to - or which aspect of their character - fundamentally determines the meaning and consequences of an exhortation. 'Indulge Your Desires' comes across very differently on a billboard advertising SUVs than it does spray-painted across the broken windows of an SUV dealer. It follows that what you say is not nearly as important as how and when you say it.

  • In the United States, people don't revolt in order to obtain freedom, but continue denying it to others.

  • Economy: As an adjective, cheap; As a noun, that which compels us to render ourselves as such.

  • A truly radical resolution would be to embrace existence just as it is, as the only thing that matters, to proclaim that the world itself is heaven, made for our total enjoyment and fulfillment...

  • We left behind the other kids; their path-working, drinking, and being grown up- and rejected all that made them grumpy, uncreative and lifeless. We dumpstered, squatted, and shoplifted our lives back. Everything fell into place when we decided our lives were meant to be lived. Life serves the risk taker...

  • One does not suffer nearly so much from one's inadequacies as from one's unused abilities.

  • Everything subtracted from the present is added to the future with interest.

  • Victory will not go to those who can inflict the most suffering, but to those who can survive the most.

  • Only those prepared to go too far will learn how far they can go.

  • A day unemployed is like a bagel- even when it's bad, it's still pretty good...

  • Only by concealing our identities can we shed the masks we have to wear at school, at work, even at home - everywhere there is surveillance, policing, punishment - masks that are increasingly indistinguishable from ourselves.

  • What is common becomes sense, but what is sensible doesn't always become common.

  • Feeling that one has some leverage upon something, even by proxy or association, makes one a great deal more interested in it.
