There are two worlds we live in: a material world, bound by the laws of physics, and the world inside our mind, which is just as important.

I don't like to go to conventions, and I don't like to relate to people on a level of hero worship, because there's no real communication going on there.

Now everything is wonderful and hazardous and nothing's hypothetical.

None of you understand. I'm not locked up in here with YOU. You're locked up in here with ME.

It's funny, but certain faces seem to go in and out of style. You look at old photographs and everybody has a certain look to them, almost as if they're related. Look at pictures from ten years later and you can see that there's a new kind of face starting to predominate, and that the old faces are fading away and vanishing, never to be seen again.

Well, what do you expect? The Comedian is dead.

I am but a stranger ... as we all are. Lonely inside our separate skins, we cannot know each others pain and must bear our own in solitude. For my part, I have found that walking soothes it and that, given luck, sometimes we find one to walk besides us ... at least for a little way.

I don't think there's really any difference between art - or writing, or music - and magic. And I particularly draw the link between magic and writing. I think that they are profoundly connected.

A lot of the critique of our growing mechanization was actually at its strongest, and arguably at its most perceptive, during the late '60s.

I'm the king of the 20th century. I'm the boogeyman, the villian, the black sheep of the family.

I don't really have any great interest in writing for movies. Comics, to me, is a much more promising field. There's still a lot of ground to be broken in comics, whereas movies, to a degree... I don't know. They're a wonderful art form, but they're not my favorite art form. They might not even be in the top five of my favorite art forms.

No one will ever forget that night, and what it meant for this country. But I will never forget the man and what he meant to me.

Most of the people who get sent to die in wars are young men who've got a lot of energy and would probably rather, in a better world, be putting that energy into copulation rather than going over there and blowing some other young man's guts out.

Does the human heart know chasms so abysmal?

This is an IMAGINARY STORY...aren't they all?

I've had years of bizarre hallucinogenic magical experiences in which I believed I had communicated with entities that may well have been disassociated parts of my own personality or conceivably some independent entity of a metaphysical nature. Both would seem equally interesting.

Art makes us feel less alone. It makes us think: somebody else has thought this, somebody else has had these feelings.

The ending is nearer than you think, and it is already written. All that we have left to choose is the correct moment to begin.

Since mankind's dawn, a handful of oppressors have accepted the responsibility over our lives that we should have accepted for ourselves. By doing so, they took our power. By doing nothing, we gave it away. We've seen where their way leads, through camps and wars, towards the slaughterhouse.

It is not the job of artists to give the audience what the audience want. If the audience knew what they needed, then they wouldn’t be the audience. They would be the artist. It is the job of artists to give the audience what they need

I’ve known a lot of people go mad over the years, and it is more distressing than people dying. People dying is quite natural, people going mad is the complete antithesis of that.
