From the world of darkness I did loose demons and devils in the power of scorpions to torment.

I loved my mother, she's a good girl.

Getting up every day and going through this again and again is hard.

I was a beatnik in the '50s before the hippies came along.

I'm not of this generation.

You know, a long time ago being crazy meant something. Nowadays everybody's crazy.

Remorse for what? You people have done everything in the world to me. Doesn't that give me equal right?

These children that come at you with knives, they are your children. You taught them. I didn't teach them. I just tried to help them stand up.

Pain's not bad, it's good. It teaches you things. I understand that.

I will have you removed if you don't stop. I have a little system of my own.

I punched my mother out once.

I ain't got no magical powers and mystical trips and all that kind of crap. It's kind of silly.

If you're going to do something, do it well. And leave something witchy.

My father is the jailhouse. My father is your system... I am only what you made me. I am only a reflection of you.

I can't dislike you, but I will say this to you: you haven't got long before you are all going to kill yourselves, because you are all crazy. And you can project it back at me, but I am only what lives inside each and every one of you.

No sense makes sense.

How old am I? I'm as old as my mother told me. How's that?

From the world of darkness I did loose demons and devils in the power of scorpions to torment.

Just because you're convicted in a court room doesn't mean you're guilty of something.

I never thought I was normal, never tried to be normal.

You are going to use this courtroom to kill me? I am going to fight for my life one way or another. You should let me do it with words.

Did I kill anyone?

I can't judge any of you. I have no malice against you and no ribbons for you. But I think that it is high time that you all start looking at yourselves, and judging the lie that you live in.

So for you people who are filled with fear that I might someday be released: breathe easy, I don't see it happening.

I have X'd myself from your world.

I never had long hair before I got busted. I never had a beard before I got busted.

I'm not very wise to many things.

The real strong have no need to prove it to the phonies.

I have killed no one and I have ordered no one to be killed.

Living is what scares me. Dying is easy.

My life is not important here.

I'm probably one of the most dangerous men in the world if I want to be. But I never wanted to be anything but me.

We're not in Wonderland anymore Alice.

You know a long time ago being crazy meant something. Nowadays everybodys crazy.

Total paranoia is just total awareness.

I know this: that in your own hearts and your own souls, you are as much responsible for the Vietnam War as I am for killing these people.

Strange - is it not? That of the myriads who Before us passed the door of Darkness through, Not one returns to tell us of the road Which to discover we must travel too.

A work will only have deep resonance if the kind of darkness I can generate is something that is resident in me already.

Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein to be content.

This is an area you always need to address when you're dealing with Dracula is the fact that there is something kind of attractive in his darkness - which there isn't in other horror characters.

Sometimes it is better to light a flamethrower than curse the darkness.

Science has explained nothing; the more we know the more fantastic the world becomes and the profounder the surrounding darkness.

But I notice that there is a lack of darkness in my movies and I don't know where that comes from.

I think seeing Pryor's first movie, Live In Concert, when I was in high school changed my life. Pryor really put the heart in darkness for me.

In Sleep we lie all naked and alone, in Sleep we are united at the heart of night and darkness, and we are strange and beautiful asleep; for we are dying the darkness and we know no death.

I really believe that all of us have a lot of darkness in our souls. Anger, rage, fear, sadness. I don't think that's only reserved for people who have horrible upbringings. I think it really exists and is part of the human condition. I think in the course of your life you figure out ways to deal with that.

And suddenly, like light in darkness, the real truth broke in upon me; the simple fact of Man, which I had forgotten, which had lain deep buried and out of sight; the idea of community, of unity.

Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it.

The three great problems of this century; the degradation of man in the proletariat, the subjection of women through hunger, the atrophy of the child by darkness.
