“This isn't just idle paranoia. The technology companies are sensitive because they remember all too well that when the VCR was introduced, the movie studios sued them. When the digital audio player was introduced, the record companies sued them. And when the MP3 player was introduced, the record companies sued them for that too.”
Fred von Lohmann
“I don't believe in fate or destiny. I believe in various degrees of hatred, paranoia, and abandonment. However much of that gets heaped upon you doesn't matter - it's only a matter of how much you can take and what it does to you.”
Henry Rollins
“Paranoia will get you through times of no enemies better than enemies will get you through times of no paranoia”
Pete Granger
“A baby is born into this world in a state of fear. Total paranoia and awareness. He sees the world with eyes not used yet. As he grows up, his parents lay all this stuff on him. They tell him, when they should be letting him tell them. Let the children lead you.”
Charles Manson
“I am a kind of paranoiac in reverse. I suspect people of plotting to make me happy.”
J. D. Salinger
“Confusion is an often too subtle sign of paranoia.”
Anne Austin
“I think paranoia can be instructive in the right doses. Paranoia is a skill.”
John Shirley
