We face up to awful things because we can't go around them, or forget them. The sooner you get it over with, the sooner you say 'Yes, it happened, and there's nothing I can do about it,' the sooner you can get on with your own life. You've got children to bring up. So you've got to get over it. What we have to get over, somehow we do. Even the worst things.

Annie Proulx

John James Audubon

The Christians are always singing about the blood. Let us give them enough of it! Let us cut their throats and drag them over the altar! And let them drown in their own blood! I dream of the day when the last priest is strangled on the guts of the last preacher.

Gus Hall

You are no different in this lifetime than you were in your last lifetime. This lifetime is simply a continuation of your last lifetime.

Frederick Lenz

We all have excuses. We could all take all of the things that have happened to us over the course of our lives and use them as excuses for being cruel to others.

Children are wonderful but they are not the center of the universe. The sooner their parents make them understand that, the better off we all will be.

I'm a radical environmentalist; I think the sooner we asphyxiate in our own filth, the better. The world will do better without us. Maybe some fuzzy animals will go with us, but there'll be plenty of other animals, and they'll be back.
