Fear and Rage
Sum Ergo Cogito - I am, therefore I think.
We are the music makers,
Arthur William Edgar O'Shaughnessy I am a little man and this is a little town but there must be a spark in a little man that can burst into flame.
John Steinbeck O witches, O misery, O hate, to you has my treasure been entrusted! I contrived to purge my mind of all human hope. On all joy, to strangle it, I pounced with the strength of a wild beast. I called to the plagues to smother me in blood, in sand, misfortune was my God.
Jean Nicholas Arthur Rimbaud The tragedy of it is that nobody sees the look of desperation on my face. Thousands and thousands of us, and we're passing one another without a look of recognition.
Henry Miller It was Christianity which first painted the devil on the worlds walls; It was Christianity which first brought sin into the world. Belief in the cure which it offered has now been shaken to it's deepest roots; but belief in the sickness which it taught and propagated continues to exists.
Friedrich Nietzsche I am filled with fear and tormented with terrible visions of pain. Everywhere people are hurting one another, the planet is rampant with injustices, whole societies plunder groups of their own people, mothers imprison sons, children perish while brothers war. O, woe.
Robert Anton Wilson Ye have locked yerselves up in cages of fear and, behold, do ye now complain that ye lack FREEDOM!
Robert Anton Wilson Ye have cast out yer brothers for devils and now complain ye, lamenting, that ye've been left to fight alone.
Robert Anton Wilson All Chaos was once yer kingdom; verily, held ye dominion over the entire Pentaverse, but today ye was sore afraid in dark coners, nooks, and sink holes.
Robert Anton Wilson
O how the darkness do crowd up, one against the other, in ye hearts!
Robert Anton Wilson You cannot undermine police authority and then complain about rising crime.
The Humanist says he does not believe in God because the supposed God behaves in a morally arbitrary way: allowing innocents to die, scoundrels to live, some to have wealth, others to be poor, some to be in pain, and others to be healthy. This, they say, is morally arbitrary, and does not fit with how they think a "real" God would behave. Then THEY get to play God, by deciding on the fate of the unborn child: will they let it live or kill it. This, they insist, is their moral "right". These two positions are completely contradictory, a thoroughly unreasonable philosophy for people who claim their philosophy is based entirely on reason.
Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the word of a demon than the Word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind.
Thomas Paine I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish Church, by the Roman Church, by the Greek Church, by the Turkish Church, by the Protestant Church, nor by any church that I know of. My own mind is my own church.
Thomas Paine It is impossible to calculate the moral mischief, if I may so express it, that mental lying has produced in society. When a man has so far corrupted and prostituted the chastity of his mind as to subscribe his professional belief to things he does not believe he has prepared himself for the commission of every other crime.
Thomas Paine Two great European narcotics, alcohol and Christianity.
Friedrich Nietzsche To exercise power costs effort and demands courage. That is why so many fail to assert rights to which they are perfectly entitled - because a right is a kind of power but they are too lazy or too cowardly to exercise it. The virtues which cloak these faults are called patience and forbearance.
Oscar Wilde Self-denial is the shining sore on the leprous body of Christianity.
Oscar Wilde Pure truth, like pure gold, has been found unfit for circulation because men have discovered that it is far more convenient to adulterate the truth than to refine themselves.
Charles Caleb Colton All religions are founded on the fear of the many and the cleverness of the few.
Stendhal For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can't readily accept the God formula, the big answers don't remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command or faith a dictum. I am my own God. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.
Charles Bukowski Do not fear your enemies. The worst they can do is kill you. Do not fear friends. At worst, they may betray you. Fear those who do not care; they neither kill nor betray, but betrayal and murder exists because of their silent consent.
Bruno Jasienski Heav'n hath no rage like love to hatred turn'd, nor Hell a fury, like a woman scorn'd.
William Congreve People reduced to the extremity of need are also driven to the utmost limits of their resources, and woe to any defenseless person who comes in their way. Work and wages, food and warmth, courage and goodwill - all is lost to them. The daylight dwindles into shadow and darkness enters their hearts; and within this darkness man seizes upon the weakness of woman and child and forces them into ignominy. No horror is then excluded. Desperation is bounded only by the flimsiest of walls, all giving access to vice and crime... they appear utterly depraved, corrupt, vile and odious; but it is rare for those who have sunk so low not to be degraded in the process, and there comes a point, moreover, where the unfortunate and infamous are grouped together, merged in a single fateful world. They are Les Miserables - the outcasts, the underdogs.
Victor Hugo O thou ungrateful, faithless wretch! You were afraid of being united to someone who adored you. These bonds of an everlasting chain were becoming a burden to you, and your heart, which is seduced by fickleness and frivolity alone, was not discerning or sensitive enough to be conscious of all the charms such bonds entailed. Twas the thought of leaving Paris that frightened you; my love was not enough for you; I was unable to make it last. Die, monster, born to make my life miserable, stay there in Paris forever! May it one day become, through the deceitfulness and knavery of the scoundrel who will replace me in your heart, as odious to you as your own double dealing has made it in my eyes!
Marquis De Sade When I walk on the street counting my steps, magic keeps silent and reality stalks me.
William Markiewicz From nonexistence I entered existence and what did I find? Bad weather.
William Markiewicz Hell is when there is no reason to live and no courage to die.
William Markiewicz Heaven doesn't want me and hell is scared I am going to take over.
Eve Toth Beware of the fury of the patient man.
John Dryden Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time.
Baltimore Grotto Genocide is like a dessert. It is made of the flesh and bones of woman and children, it is sweetened with the blood of the innocent, and it is baked in the ovens of Auschwitz.
There were truths to be learnt and there was wisdom to be gained... but there was a price to to be paid as well. You could not brush up against the future and escape unscathed. You could not see into the forbidden and avoid damage to your sight.
Terry Brooks
Take your head, collect your bones, gather your limbs, shake the earth from your flesh!
Old Kingdom Pyramid Text Ignorance and prejudice are the ballast of our ship of state - however, ships without ballast are not seaworthy and cannot sail in the tempests, nor reach a safe harbor.
The party is not concerned with perpetuating itself. Who wields power is not important, providing that the hierarchical structure always remains the same.
George Orwell Progress is a comfortable disease.
E. E. Cummings
"Ours is a christian army;" so he said
Arma Virumque I listen to money singing, it's like looking down from long French windows at a provincial town. The slums, the canal, the churches ornate and mad in the evening sun. It is intensely sad...
Philip Larkin The Christian view that all intercourse outside marriage is immoral was, as we see in the above passages from St. Paul, based upon the view that all sexual intercourse, even within marriage, is regrettable. A view of this sort, which goes against biological facts, can only be regarded by sane people as a morbid aberration. The fact that it is embedded in Christian ethics has made Christianity throughout its whole history a force tending towards mental disorders and unwholesome views of life.
Bertrand Russell
Lust is the cause of generation
Leonardo Da Vinci One, with God, is always a majority, but many a martyr has been burned at the stake while the votes were being counted.
Thomas B. Reed God is DEAD, and no one cares! If there is a hell I'll see you there!
Trent Reznor Piss off Satan and don't take me for dumber than I look.
William S. Burroughs Maybe this world is another planet's hell.
Aldous Huxley None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Modern capitalism, organising the reduction of all social life to a spectacle, cannot offer any other spectacle than that of our own alienation.
Kotanyi You do not destroy an idea by killing people; you replace it with a better one.
Edward Keating As the fly bangs against the window attempting freedom while the door stands open, so we bang against death ignoring heaven.
Doug Horton
