“Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.”

Let’s just say I was testing the bounds of reality. I was curious to see what would happen. That’s all it was curiosity.

Everybody insists that freedom is what they want the most, the most sacred and precious thing a man can possess. But that’s bullshit! People are terrified to be set free – they hold on to their chains.

Nobody would stay interested in me if I was normal

I believe in a long, prolonged, derangement of the senses in order to obtain the unknown.

I am the Lizard King. I can do anything!

In the beginning we were creating our music, ourselves, every night . . . starting with a few outlines, maybe a few words for a song.

A moving or movement away from a station A waving away from a waving a motion Amazement a moment amazing a waving

There may be a time when we’ll attend Weather Theaters to recall the sensation of rain.

Blake said that the body was the soul’s prison unless the five senses are fully developed and open. He considered the senses the ‘windows of the soul.’

To keep their love, you keep pretending – performing. You get to love your pretense…It’s true, we’re locked in an image, an act – and the sad thing is, people get so used to their image

The time to hesitate is through no time to wallowin the mire Try now we can only lose and our love become a funeral pyre

We fear violence less than our own feelings. Personal, private, solitary pain is more terrifying than what anyone else can inflict.

All games contain the idea of death.

There are images I need to complete my own reality.

We are content in the ‘given’ in sensation’s quest. We have been metamorphosised from a mad body dancing on hillsides to a pair of eyes staring in the dark.

Hatred is a very underestimated emotion.

People think I like to expose my body. But I don’t. It’s just because the dance moves require it.

If men of eminence are exposed to censure on one hand, they are as much liable to flattery on the other. If they receive reproaches which are not due to them, they likewise receive praises which they do not deserve.

We are slaves, deprived of every right, exposed to every insult, condemned to certain death, but we still possess one power, and we must defend it with all our strength for it is the last – the power to refuse our consent.

When nonviolence begins halfway through the war with the aggressor calling time out, it exposes itself as a ruse.

I collect art, and I drink wine… things that I like that I had never been exposed to. But I never said, ‘I’m going to buy art to impress this crowd.’ That’s just ridiculous to me. I don’t live my life like that, because how could you be happy with yourself?

Prejudgments become prejudices only if they are reversible when exposed to new knowledge.

Prejudgments become prejudices only if they are not reversible when exposed to new knowledge.

I can’t expose a human weakness on the stage unless I know it through having it myself.
