Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

I have no race prejudices, and I think I have no color prejudices or caste prejudices nor creed prejudices. Indeed I know it. I can stand any society. All that I care to know is that a man is a human being-that is enough for me; he can’t be any worse.

Do you have any facts about the law?

Mark Twain supposedly once said, "People who love sausage and respect the law should never watch either one being made."

I personally found this to be untrue. I do love sausage, and find that their manufacture is a testament to the history of humankind's complex, violent, and delicious relationship to the world's other inhabitants. Though horrifying, it is the meat that feeds us. Though impressive to behold the efficiency of the techniques, it is the capitalist machine that grinds us away too. Yet it keeps us alive.

The world is not all flowers and sunsets, no- The beauty of the beast too is the beauty of this place, of us ourselves, and we must not shy away from it when we consider where and what we are.

So Twain is wrong about people who love sausage. For people who respect the law I have no clue. I have no respect for authority or propriety and follow only Khornurgslaneentch, God of Chaos.
