“According to the books I've read on the subject, Satanism is a belief system where the noblest of men are God, nature is the holiest of holy spirits, common sense would be the one commandment, and Heaven and Hell exist right here on Earth.”

“I personally don't think shooting a bunch of people in a McDonald's adds up to much. I'd like to see the earth really cleared of its bulk. So it could be fit for someone like Mario Lanza to sing here again.”

“Even more mind-boggeling is the fact that the most scurvy breed of american criminal goes unpunished... That being the parasitic herd of pathological falsifiers known as “attorneys".”

“Religion has been talked about endlessly, I don't have too much new to add. I think people take themselves a little too seriously when they start thinking about a being that is in charge of the planet. I think people are essentially just protoplasm that crawled out of a primordial soup and stood erect and grew hair. I think the planet is like a science culture where the right elements come together and all of a sudden you have growth and life, and people are a growth, a fungus.”

“Evil is, in my experience, not what it's cooked up to be. What and who I was told in my childhood were evil, I've found to be quite pleasurable upon examination, quite enchanting. As for a definition of evil, evil is whatever keeps you from the truth.”

“Satanists are deeply steeped in things that are reliable and familiar. They're not people who are out testing the bounds of taste and experience. They're people really who are struggling to hold onto things that are endearing and have proven to have some worth. The world I think is actually very soulless. Satanists I think are the last people with soul.”

“The meaning of life is death. From the moment you are spewed forth from your mother's cavity you start on a downward spiral towards your death date.”

“The most puzzling aspect of L.A. life was that the races were infinitely more segregated in this liberal utopia than in the deep South from which I hailed. California progressives were endlessly eager to inform you of how oppressed and downtrodden minorities were, but had virtually no real contact with them. Hollywood, Beverly Hills and Burbank (where I lived) had no Black communities . . . the “People of Color” were all pressed into the dismal south central corner of the city where Whites weren’t at all welcome.”

“What I primarily wanted to achieve was to tweak the noses of the squishy White idiots who would bristle at in-your-face stereotypical depictions of the hood rats they worshipped. I wanted the same people who falsely pretended that White Militias were the nation’s number one threat to suddenly see unwelcome evidence that there might actually be a lurking unnamed “menace” out there.”

“If I’ve learned anything in my many years, it’s that the less ammo you hand strangers, the less bullets you have to dodge. The wisest thing I ever did was to decide, early on, not to seek personal attention or purposely place myself, like a target, in the traffic lanes of bloodthirsty ‘Cancel-Queens’. I’ve always let the Mann cartoons just mysteriously surface here and there and do their own talking, and everyone that enjoys them seems quite content with that arrangement.”

“I do believe that elevated thinkers everywhere are beginning to adopt LaVey’s Satanic principals whether they are aware of the Satanic Bible or not - As LaVey has often said “Satanists are born, not made"... The phallacies and follies of this existence may confound the common man, but the individualist... The clear minded, truth seeker... Will always tread the philosophical shortcut known as the “left handed path"... If someone who is born to trundle down this alternative route is fortunate enough to uncover LaVey’s writings, they will not only find an excellent scenic guide, but a valuable treasure map, as well.”

“I can't imagine having lived on planet earth without savoring all its accessible treasures... to die without having experienced the discipline and artistry of Mario Lanza, Ella Fitzgerald, Noel Coward, Johnny Mercer, Buddy Clark, Ruth Etting, the Gershwins, and their many brilliant contemporaries, would be nothing short of criminal. Many of the modern day worshipers of “trash culture” probably don't know that the practice of purposely seeking out seedy and "camp" entertainment began with the New York society crowd... often after an evening of “high art" at the Metropolitian opera, groups of nattily attired socialites would descend on the run-down areas of town (this endeavor was referred to as "slumming") searching for dingy nightclubs and soaking up the street level ambience and entertainment. This would certainly be my idea of a well-rounded life experience... encountering the best of both worlds... and thereby gaining a deeper appreciation of each by being cognizant not only of the vast differences, but also the disarming similarities. I feel that a steady diet of “trash culture," alone, leaves one jaded and myopic... and subsequently quite dull.”

“America, the once glorious land of opportunity is fast becoming a cesspool of corruption and despair. We're witnessing the disintegration of dignity and tradition... we're inundated by an influx of the world's most diseased and undesirable aliens... our so-called leaders are shamelessly decadent and uncommitted... To address these dilemmas, the "powers that be" are taking an Orwellian approach... by changing the language, they feel they can mask the growing evidence of decay... your typical urine-stained, drunken "bum" now bears the enobling appellation of ‘homeless’... a gaunt lesion-encrusted homosexual is no longer “dying of A.I.D.S." but is instead, "LIVING with A.I.D.S."... the “rich cultural heritage” that minority advocates keep referring to appears, in truth, to be only rampant criminality, irresponsible sexuality and wholesale drug consumption... Call it what you will... degeneration is degeneration. I often wonder what label will be created for the inevitable collapse of civilization... How about "sudden cultural finality’... yeah, that'll look nice in print.”

“NICK: While you're alive and up and running, and your brain is working and your eyeballs are engaged, that means things are happening that have meaning. But after that.... LISA: I don't know, Nick. NICK: This goes right back to what I first said. Everyone wants to give this humanity thing much more credence than it deserves. You're just fungus. The eyeball is fungus, the brain is fungus--it’s just fungus. In fact the highest forms of life on this planet, I believe, are the lowest forms. I believe the lowly ameoba, just an eating machine with no emotion--there it is, that's the perfect state of being.”
