There is nothing inherently sacred about moral codes. Like the wooden idols of long ago, they are the work of human hands, and what man has made, man can destroy!

I feel that what is probably the greatest enemy of longevity is popularity, and most people die of popularity.

You cannot love everyone it is ridiculous to think you can.

Satan represents indulgence, instead of abstinence! Satan represents vital existence, instead of spiritual pipe dreams! Satan represents undefiled wisdom, instead of hypocritical self-deceit! Satan represents all of the so-called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification!

I give people Ayn Rand with trappings.

Image
Good news is only really good to those directly involved. Most people lead such futile and useless lives that only bad news makes them feel better. If not better, certainly gooder. If one cannot gain recognition for anything else, he can rest well with the assurance that he is good, which in most case equates with right.

Anton Szandor LaVey
Image
One of the keys to success is an unflinching belief that there are no rules. Anyone who's ever succeeded has gone on that premise not buying established procedures, business or otherwise. The naysayers are inevitably left behind amid shouts of 'it cannot be done' and should not be done'.

There is no heaven, there is no hell, except here on Earth.
Anton Szandor LaVey
Image
How could you set yourself up as the most powerful institution on earth? You first find out what every man feels at least once a day, establish that as a sin, and set yourself up as the only institution capable of pardoning that sin.

Image
I never met a person who loved everybody I didn't dislike.

If a guest in your lair annoys you, treat him cruelly and without mercy.
Anton Szandor LaVey
Image
The Satanist realizes that man, and the action and reaction of the universe, is responsible for everything, and doesn't mislead himself into thinking that someone cares.

Image
The Atheist complains about the wind. The Christian prays for it to change. The Satanist adjusts his sails.
Anton Szandor LaVey
Image
ALL religions of a spiritual nature are inventions of man. He has created an entire system of gods with nothing more than his carnal brain. Just because he has an ego, and cannot accept it, he has to externalize it into some great spiritual device which he calls God.

Mysterious beings we seek from birth what does that mean to me? Something we seek, and as we age it becomes more elusive, yet our spirit remains willing, but our flesh grows weak.
