“The thing to understand is that if you are going to reform society you don't start with cops. And if you are going to reform intellect you don't start with psychiatrists. If you don't like our present social system or intellectual system the best thing you can do with either cops or psychiatrists is stay out of their way. You leave them till last.”

“Maybe you don't go to hell for the things you do. Maybe you go to hell for the things you don't do.”

“I think that the one thing that we've learned in our union is that you don't wait. You just get out and you start doing things.”

“If you're looking to get silly, you better go back to from where you came. because the cops don't need you and man they expect the same.”

“If you do not give the people reform they are going to give you social revolution.”

“If you're going to write, don't pretend to write down. It's going to be the best you can do, and it's the fact that it's the best you can do that kills you.”

“The best way is not to fight it, just go. Don't be trying all the time to fix things. What you run from only stays with you longer. When you fight something, you only make it stronger.”

“One more thing."
"What."
"I think we're dating now." As V barked out a laugh, the cop shrugged. "Come on…. I got you naked. You wore a damn corset. And don't get me started about the sponge bath afterward."
"Fucker."
"To the end.”

“I don't understand it any more than you do, but one thing I've learned is that you don't have to understand things for them to be.”
