Men fear thought as they fear 

nothing else on earth

more than ruin

more even than death

Thought is subversive and revolutionary

destructive and terrible

thought is merciless to privilege

established institutions

and comfortable habit

Thought looks into the pit of hell

and is not afraid

Thought is great and swift

and free, the light of the

world  and the chief glory of man

FIRST MONDAY

2010-01-04

its the first monday,

the first week

of a new decade,

and a sense of wonder

overdue.

*

Perhaps salvation will

come through the

hole in our hearts

this decade

but it would

surprise.

I believe that God left certain drugs growing naturally upon our planet to help speed up and facilitate our evolution.

Bill Hicks

It’s just a ride and we can change it any time we want. It’s only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings and money, a choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your door, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one.

Bill Hicks

The world is like a ride in an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it you think it’s real because that’s how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it’s very brightly coloured and it’s very loud and it’s fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question: “Is this real, or is this just a ride?” And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, “Hey, don’t worry, don’t be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride.” And we kill those people.

Bill Hicks

I’ll tell you, too, that’s starting to depress me about UFO’s, about the fact that they cross galaxies, or wherever they come from to visit us, and always end up in places like Fife, Alabama. Maybe these are not super-intelligent beings, man.

me, in a magnetic field and pulses of radio wave energy

Sometimes I talk to myself fluently in languages I’m unfamiliar with… just to screw with my subconscious. 

It’s a good thing a lot of people speak foreign languages, otherwise those people would have no one to talk to.

They say you’re not supposed to put metal in a microwave oven. They’re right.

I have a paper cut from writing my suicide note. It’s a start…

In school they told me “Practice makes perfect.” And then they told me “Nobody’s perfect,” so then I stopped practicing.

I’m addicted to placebos. I could quit, but it wouldn’t matter.

Fear is the main source of superstition, and one of the main sources of cruelty. To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.
