You know who your enemy is? You're the enemy. You sit there fat, sloppy, you watch your TV, and you kick back and you judge everybody as being wrong and bad, but you.
I can't judge any of you. I have no malice against you and no ribbons for you. But I think that it is high time that you all start looking at yourselves, and judging the lie that you live in.
I was a beatnik in the '50s before the hippies came along.
Sure, I'm crazy. But that used to mean something. Now, everybody's crazy.
The real strong have no need to prove it to the phonies.
If I wanted to kill somebody, I'd take this book and beat you to death with it, and I wouldn't feel a thing.
Animals shouldn’t be hunted and nature shouldn’t be disturbed, even destroyed, to benefit the whims of mankind
I'm Jesus Christ, whether you want to accept it or not, I don't care.

If I wanted anyone killed, I'd kill them myself. But I don't want anyone killed because I love my own life. Does that make any sense? I love life and I love living, but no, I don't want to live in society. Society don't want me, why should I want them? I don't belong in society and there's no place in society that I fit.
Maybe I should have killed four, five hundred people. Then I would have felt better. Then I would have felt like I really offered society something.
So for you people who are filled with fear that I might someday be released: breathe easy, I don't see it happening.
Most of the people at the ranch were just people you did not want, people that were alongside the road.
