As long as we prioritize material truths over spiritual truths we will live in tyranny because we are living an illusion
Russell Brand
Surfing should be called foam-choking or sea stabbing.
Russell Brand
Have you considered that the Bible, like all religious doctrine, may be allegorical and symbolic, to direct us toward one holy entity of love, as opposed to a simplistic litiginous text to direct the behavior of human beings?
Russell Brand
I also quite like to be recognized by children I find it sweet.
Russell Brand
Murderers! Stop murdering. Everyone will die eventually. Just sit down and be patient.
Russell Brand
It's no wonder Bob Geldof knows so much about famine - he's been dining out on I Don't Like Mondays for 30 years.

It is difficult to feel sympathy for these people. It is difficult to regard some bawdy drunk and see them as sick and powerless. It is difficult to suffer the selfishness of a drug addict who will lie to you and steal from you and forgive them and offer them help. Can there be any other disease that renders its victims so unappealing?
Russell Brand
There's no biological reason why a man shouldn't just try to have sex with every woman he meets - all of them get pregnant and your genetics are winning.

Russell Brand
I didn't cross the line, you drew it in after I traversed it.
Russell Brand
Rebel children, I urge you, fight the turgid slick of conformity with which they seek to smother your glory.
Russell Brand
Even in name, he seems like a Victorian oddity. Igor, fetch 'the Crouch' from the catacombs, we're going to the graveyard.
Russell Brand
It seems to me that actual democracy is where all of us get to participate and it's not just a sort of a blunt little dry hump in a ballot box, but an actual penetrative process.
Russell Brand
The only Revolution that can really change the world is the one in your own consciousness, and mine has already begun.
Russell Brand
It was crushingly disappointing as a fan of The Simpsons to discover that it's just you in a room speaking into a microphone. I thought I was going to become friends with Homer Simpson, but unfortunately none of them are real.
Russell Brand
For me happiness occurs arbitrarily: a moment of eye contact on a bus, where all at once you fall in love or a frozen second in a park where it's enough that there are trees in the world.
Russell Brand
Over the road there was a church: a modern gray building, which constantly played a recording of church bells. Strange it was. Why no proper bells? I never went in but I bet it was a robot church for androids, where the Bible was in binary and their Jesus had laser eyes and metal claws.
Russell Brand
The one measure of true love is: you can insult the other. --Slavoj Zizek
