1. A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government.
2. Better a cruel truth than a comfortable delusion.
3. Love implies anger. The man who is angered by nothing cares about nothing.
4. A man on foot, on horseback or on a bicycle will see more, feel more, enjoy more in one mile than the motorized tourists can in a hundred miles.
5. A drink a day keeps the shrink away.
6. Grown men do not need leaders.
7. Freedom begins between the ears.
8. You can't study the darkness by flooding it with light.
9. Sentiment without action is the ruin of the soul.
10. Belief in the supernatural reflects a failure of the imagination.
11. There is science, logic, reason; there is thought verified by experience. And then there is California.
12. If the end does not justify the means - what can?
13. A drink a day keeps the shrink away.
14. Abolition of a woman's right to abortion, when and if she wants it, amounts to compulsory maternity: a form of rape by the State.
15. The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.
16. Civilization is a youth with a molotov cocktail in his hand. Culture is the Soviet tank or L.A. cop that guns him down.
17. If people persist in trespassing upon the grizzlies' territory, we must accept the fact that the grizzlies, from time to time, will harvest a few trespassers
18. Men come and go, cities rise and fall, whole civilizations appear and disappear-the earth remains, slightly modified. The earth remains, and the heartbreaking beauty where there are no hearts to break....I sometimes choose to think, no doubt perversely, that man is a dream, thought an illusion, and only rock is real. Rock and sun.
19. Say what you like about my bloody murderous government,' I says, 'but don't insult me poor bleedin' country.
20. Power is always dangerous. Power attracts the worst and corrupts the best.
