More quotes by Anton Szandor LaVey
I request reason for your golden rule and ask the why and wherefore of your ten commandments.
Anton Szandor LaVey
Pride is great up to the point you begin to throw out the baby with the bathwater. The rule of Satanism is: if it works for you, great. When it stops working for you, when you've painted yourself into a corner and the only way out is to say, I'm sorry, I made a mistake, I wish we could compromise somehow, then do it.
Anton Szandor LaVey
Definition of Good and Evil: Good is what you like. Evil is what you don't like.
Anton Szandor LaVey
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!
Anton Szandor LaVey
You cannot love everyone it is ridiculous to think you can.
Anton Szandor LaVey
There is a beast in man that should be exercised, not exorcised.
Anton Szandor LaVey
There is no heaven, there is no hell, except here on Earth.
Anton Szandor LaVey
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
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'.
Anton Szandor LaVey
Don't let that little pyramid with the bright eye fool you. That's to draw your attention away from the real thing: the big trapezoid beneath it.
Anton Szandor LaVey
All we want, those few of us who have the strength to realize what's going on, is the freedom to create and entertain and share with each other, to preserve and cherish what we can while we can, and to build our own little citadels away from the insensitivity of the rest of the world.
Anton Szandor LaVey
I don't drink much anymore, because it's supposedly not good for me. I still have gallons of it around though. I smell the cork and do a lot of wishing.
Anton Szandor LaVey
Hate your enemy with a whole heart, and if a man smite you on one cheek, SMASH him on the other!
Anton Szandor LaVey
I give people Ayn Rand with trappings.
Anton Szandor LaVey
The TV set, or Satanic family altar, has grown more elaborate since the early 50s, from the tiny, fuzzy screen to huge ‘entertainment centers’ covering entire walls with several TV monitors. What started as an innocent respite from everyday life has become in itself a replacement for real life for millions, a major religion of the masses.
Anton Szandor LaVey
If a guest in your lair annoys you, treat him cruelly and without mercy.
Anton Szandor LaVey
Yeah, well, I'm crazy, but I'm not stupid, hopefully. And I think we're all a bit crazy if we do anything that's deviant. I've studied a great deal on deviance and aberrant behavior. Most of the interesting people I've ever met have been deviant in one form or another.
Anton Szandor LaVey
There is not always 'two sides to every issue.' That statement is a ridiculous slogan invoked by vested interests and perpetuated by minds of limited scope.
Anton Szandor LaVey
The real satanist is not quite so easily recognized as such
Anton Szandor LaVey
The Atheist complains about the wind. The Christian prays for it to change. The Satanist adjusts his sails.
