“Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous”

The world we suggest is a new wild west. A sensuous evil world. Strange and haunting, the path of the sun.

Do you know the warm progress under the stars? Do you know we exist? Have you forgotten the keys to the kingdom? Have you been born yet & are you alive?

I think the highest and lowest points are the important ones. Anything else is just…in between.

How can I set free anyone who doesn’t have the guts to stand up alone and declare his own freedom? I think it’s a lie – people claim they want to be free

One’s belief that one is sincere is not so dangerous as one’s conviction that one is right. We all feel we are right; but we felt the same way twenty years ago and today we know we weren’t always right.

An eminent reputation is as dangerous as a bad one.

Hope, danger’s comforter.

Flattery labors under the odious charge of servility.

You are so afraid of losing your moral sense that you are not willing to take it through anything more dangerous than a mud-puddle.

Intelligence without character is a dangerous thing.

An utterly fearless man is a far more dangerous comrade than a coward.

There are few things in the world as dangerous as sleepwalkers.
