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

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.

There are certainly times when my own everyday life seems to retreat so the life of the story can take me over. That is why a writer often needs space and time, so that he or she can abandon ordinary life and 'live' with the characters.

Im an elephant today. I will need to have lots of room and also a bowl of water on the floor.

I can't imagine going to an all-girls school. I went to a public school.

There can be no assumption that today's majority is 'right' and the Amish and others like them are 'wrong.' A way of life that is odd or even erratic but interferes with no rights or interests of others is not to be condemned because it is different.

Desegregation of schools does not automatically transform them into better schools. It is only a step. The larger goal is to see that the education of our youth is not merely desegregated, but that it is excellent.

More than anything else, my mother wanted to be an actress - a famous actress - which in the 1950s was all about being young, sexy, and available. She was all that, and more. She had big blue eyes, alabaster skin, a heart-shaped face, a beautiful figure. She was just a knockout.

Do we believe that the goal of government is to promote equal opportunity for all Americans to make the most of their lives? Or, do we now believe that government's role is to equalize the results of peoples lives?

The thing that I'm most proud of in my life is that if a stranger came up to me and said, 'I can't stop drinking. I can't stop drinking. Can you help me?' I can say, 'Yes, I can help you.'

I've always kept a low profile. I'm not comfortable at social events or parties. I feel awkward. So if I'm not working, I prefer to remain in my own zone.

Most people who aspire to be president don't have a foreign policy and national security background. The exception was certainly Hillary Clinton.

I have friends and family that are filled with massive amounts of integrity. And it shouldn't be an oddity.

Women have that weird way of trying to be feminist. You know, like 'hear me roar.' But what they really want is a man to open the door for them.

Always treat your employees exactly as you want them to treat your best customers.
