Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition.

Pursuing the religious life today without using psychedelics drugs is like studying astronomy with the naked eye because that's how they did it in the first century A.D.

Anything is possible after midnight.

Our assignment was to topple this prudish, judgmental civilization. And it worked.

Drop out of the public schools. The public schools cannot be compromised with.
