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

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
To the Maker the archetype, the self-sustainer, human interaction is usually a waste of the most precious thing in his vital existance: time.
Anton Szandor LaVey
Why should I not hate mine enemies―if I love them does that not place me at their mercy?
Anton Szandor LaVey
Anyone without a sense of humor is too pretentious to be a good magician.
Anton Szandor LaVey
You cannot love everyone it is ridiculous to think you can.
Anton Szandor LaVey
Blessed are the destroyers of false hope, for they are the true Messiahs - Cursed are the god-adorers, for they shall be shorn sheep!
Anton Szandor LaVey
If a guest in your lair annoys you, treat him cruelly and without mercy.
Anton Szandor LaVey
Unfortunately for a multitude of occultists, humor is a rare ingredient in their lives. In fact it is their very lack of humor that has impelled them into the arcane and esoteric.
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!
