It's a shame stupidity isn't painful.
Stupidity-The top of the list for Satanic Sins.
It’s too bad that stupidity isn’t painful.
I see nothing wrong with robbing somebody on the street.
Do what you want as long as it's paying off for you. But once it's become a liability, then something is wrong and you better find out what it is.
I don't go to strip bars anymore. I used to go incognito, trouble was they always thought I was an undercover cop.
There is no real idol or anyone in the public eye now that I know of. I've always been satisfied with women that I've known. I've been really spoiled. You talk about the luck factor, I've been at the right place at the right time, because as it turns out, the women I'm attracted to are attracted to me.
The Black Dahlia, she was someone who was just waiting for an executioner, waiting for it to happen. She was an ideal victim. I've met quite a few like her. They're just crying out, not just to be killed, but also tortured. She seemed very parasitic, a psychic vampire.
Hitler's greatest mistake was in, not his bringing together some of the things he tried to bring together, but by of course employing the racist concepts that he did, he lost everything. I mean, who knows but he would have won the war if he kept the people around that he considered inferior or his adjutants considered inferior.
I feel that what is probably the greatest enemy of longevity is popularity, and most people die of popularity.
It's a cinch that if you read it in an occult periodical or paperback, everyone's doing it. That should be your cue to avoid such stuff, lest you be relegated to the same readership level.
I visualize the day that tridents and pentagrams are thrust into the sky from church roofs instead of crosses.
Martin Luther dreamed up Protestantism while sitting on the toilet at Wittenburg monastery, and we know what a big movement that became.
The other exception to the rule regards dealings with masochists. A masochist derives pleasure from being hurt; so denying the masochist his pleasure through-pain hurts him just as much as actual physical pain hurts the non masochist. The story of the truly cruel sadist illustrates this point: The masochist says to the sadist, "beat me." To which the merciless sadist replies, "NO!" If a person wants to be hurt and enjoys suffering, then there is no reason not to indulge him in his wont.
