“In a fight between you and the world, pick the world”
Frank Zappa
“I believe that people have a right to decide their own destiny; people own themselves. I also believe that, in a democracy, government exists because (and only as long as) individual citizens give it a "temporary license to exist" - in exchange for a promise that it will behave itself. In a democracy you own the government - it doesn't own you. Along with this comes a responsibility to ensure that individual actions, in the pursuit of a personal destiny, do not threaten the well-being of others while the "pursuit" is in progress.”
“If you want to get laid, go to college. If you want an education, go to the library.”
“Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible.”
“Communism doesn't work because people like to own stuff.”
“Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid”
“Everybody believes in something and everybody, by virtue of the fact that they believe in something, use that something to support their own existence.”
