- I'd rather burn than be frozen.
- I'm content to be a malcontent.
- All the answers to all the world's problems are right at our fingertips and are easily attainable. There are an infinite number of resources that could provide for everyone on Earth but the powers that be don't want that. That makes me so sad to know that no one needs to suffer in this life, yet, there are others who perpetuate that same suffering.
- Who are you to have an opinion about the world if you've never seen it?
- All I've ever cared about in life was trying to find new ways to become enlightened. You can't take anything from this world into the next realm, except maybe your soul. You can be damned sure mine will be enlightened and evolved.
