"Man is free, but his freedom ceases when he has no faith in it[."

-- Giacomo Casanova

“I've probably been spit on more that any person alive outside of, I would say, a member of the prison system.”
“Learn to live more in the Self. Come down a little bit to eat and talk as necessary.”
“Where is the harm in the wireless industry?”
“Hard to explain to a guard dog that you need it to protect you from yourself.”
“And there was a real shedding of the old dogma, like boundaries of morality were being broken down and everybody was into the new party mode of just loving on each other. Which destroyed thousands of us. I lost 16 of my personal friends through that lifestyle.”
“Only as strong as our love for this land, only as tall as we stand.”
“I wouldn't attach too much importance to these student riots. I remember when I was a student at the Sorbonne in Paris, I used to go out and riot occasionally.”
“You see, my good friend, how much we are the creatures of situation and circumstance, and with what pliant servility the mind resigns itself to the impressions of the senses, or the illusions of the imagination”
