“Being wrong is a blow to the proud human ego.”

“You have to blow off your family. You have to blow off comfort. You have to blow off money…. You have to blow off your ego. You have to blow off everything except your guitar.”

“There’s nothing wrong with most men’s egos that the kowtowing of a headwaiter can’t cure.”

“If the King can do no wrong, it is akin to looking down upon him, because the King is not being treated as a human being. The King can do wrong.”

“A man's ego is the fountainhead of human progress.”

“Religion is probably, after sex, the second oldest resource which human beings have available to them for blowing their mind.”

“Lay the proud usurpers low!
Tyrants fall in every foe!
Liberty's in every blow—
Let us do or die!”

“I think of myself as an intelligent, sensitive human being with the soul of a clown which always forces me to blow it at the most important moments.”

“I do not tolerate the so-called "cultic" (or ego-made, and ego-reinforcing) approach to Me. I do not tolerate the seeking ego's "cult" of the "man in the middle". I am not a self-deluded ego-man—making much of himself, and looking to include everyone-and-everything around himself for the sake of social and political power. To be the "man in the middle" is to be in a Man-made trap, an absurd mummery of "cultic" devices that enshrines and perpetuates the ego-"I" in one and all. Therefore, I do not make or tolerate the religion-making "cult" of ego-Man. I do not tolerate the inevitable abuses of religion, of Spirituality, of Truth Itself, and of My own Person (even in bodily human Form) that are made (in endless blows and mockeries) by ego-based mankind when the Great Esoteric Truth of devotion to the Adept-Realizer is not rightly understood and rightly practiced.”

“I am not a criminal. I have nothing to be ashamed of. We are workers, mothers, human beings. We should be able to be proud of who we are.”
