Usually when you ask somebody in college why they are there, they'll tell you it's to get an education. The truth of it is, they are there to get the degree so that they can get ahead in the rat race. Too many college radicals are two-timing punks. The only reason you should be in college is to destroy it.

I believe in compulsory cannibalism. If people were forced to eat what they killed, there would be no more wars.

Revolution is not something fixed in ideology, nor is it something fashioned to a particular decade. It is a perpetual process embedded in the human spirit.

The '60s are gone, dope will never be as cheap, sex never as free, and the rock and roll never as great.
