Charlatans and Imbeciles

A truly free man doesn't need an empire. It's already right there. A force field within. He knows there's a price for doing and saying what you please. It's a simple matter, just a matter of standing up for yourself. These other people, Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha, has anyone noticed that they made it all up! And, say what you like about the terrible trio, they were shitty poets. At best, all they could do was allegory or parables.

Don't sleep in empty graves. Those people you see everytime you go to the nightclubs? They're not the same ones who were there last year.

A thinking man? If you want to say anything to the world, prepare to be annihilated, and then drag yourself up from the ashes and say what you have to say
