Is adult amusement killing our children, or is killing our children amusing adults?

My pain's not ashamed to repeat itself

The crack inside your fucking heart is me.

In the end we're all Springer guests, really, we just haven't been on the show.

I've seen my own death in dreams like this and it's helped me appreciate life more. I've also seen my own life in dreams and it's helped me appreciate death more.

But what's real? You can't find the truth. You just pick the lie you like best. As long as you know that everything's a lie, you can't hurt yourself.

I fall in love with everything I also hate everything. It’s very hard to be a misanthrope and a romantic.

The aspiration to save the world is a morbid phenomenon of today's youth.

Hopefully, I'll be remembered as the person who brought an end to Christianity.

That becomes the revolution, to be idealistic enough that you think you can change the world, and what you find is you can't change anything but yourself.

Paintings are seldom guilty and often framed for crimes they did not commit. Some cover holes-holes in walls, holes in lives. Some make holes-in wallets, holes in hearts...in negative space.

If you intend to create something that people will observe and listen to, you've got to listen to them first.

A lot of people don't want to make their own decisions. They're too scared. It's much easier to be told what to do.

I was becoming the cold, emotionally crippled monster I always wanted to be, and I wasn’t so sure I liked it. But it was too late. The metamorphosis was already well under way.

This question is posed to mayself, am I a man who thinks he's an angel? Or an angel who thinks he's a man?

People are too lazy and too stupid to think for themselves that we've got sitcoms with canned laughter that let's you know when to laugh if you're to stupid to know when the joke is.

If every cigarette you smoke takes seven minutes off of your life, every game of Dungeons & Dragons you play delays the loss of your virginity by seven hours.

This is the culture your raising your kids in, don't be suprised when it blows up in your face.

Art is a big question mark.

I have assumed the role of Antichrist; I am the Nineties voice of individuality and people tend to associate anyone who looks and behaves differently with illegal or immoral activity...

The imagination is precious. Don't lose it. Don't lose the child in you.

But what's real? You can't find the truth, you just pick the lie you like the best.

I never said to be like me, I say to be like you and make a difference.

Your beautiful don't let anyone tell you different

There's nothing like the feeling of knowing that you've made a difference in someone's life, even if that difference is a lifetime of nightmares and a fortune in therapy bills.

I'm a confession that is waiting to be heard

If you really feel hatred for someone, and kind of send it their way, then it’s out of your system and in their hands. I always think it’s therapeutic.

As a performer, I wanted to be the loudest, most persistent alarm clock I could be, because there didn’t seem like any other way to snap society out of its Christianity- and media-induced coma.

I spent hours flipping through the stations, watching Pat Robertson preach about society’s evils and then ask people to call him with their credit card number.

Light a candle for the sinners set the world on fire

When you're taught to love everyone, to love your enemies, what value does that put on love?

If you act like a rock star you will be treated like one.

The balance between good and evil, and the choices we make between them, are probably the single most important aspects of shaping our personalities and humanity.

I traveled into the future to get back in time.

In the end we're all Jerry Springer guests, really, we just haven't been on the show.

Anyone I may have used should feel happy that they even had a use. It's better than being useless.

Without the threat of death there's no reason to live.

I needed to stop being victimized by my own weaknesses and insecurities about other people,

The fact that nobody liked me at school began to fade out of my mind like blue magic marker reminders scrawled on the back of a greasy fist.” greasy fist.” - Marilyn Manson

[...] morals are worn as a badge to make you look good and [...] it's so much easier to talk about your beliefs than to live up to them

Hello world and hello universe. Thank you all very much

Art to me is a question mark.

Everybody has a light and a dark side, and neither can exist without the other.

Haters call me bitch, call me faggot, call me whitey, but I am something you could never be

People don’t keep journals for themselves. They keep them for other people, like a secret they don’t want to tell but they want everyone to know.

Pictures of naked women and strip dancers make me violent

I’ve always been paranoid about the police, because even when I’m not doing anything illegal I’m thinking about doing something illegal.

[...] extremes—whether good or bad—don't fit into society's definition of normality

The key to changing the way people think is to change what’s popular. That’s why rather than submit to the mainstream, you have to become it—and then overcome it.

Books are good because they are thick and you can hit someone with it.
