Sociopathy is the inability to process emotional experience, including love and caring, except when such experience can be calculated as a coldly intellectual task.

I am sure that if the devil existed, he would want us to feel very sorry for him.

Sociopaths love power. They love winning. If you take loving kindness out of the human brain, there's not much left except the will to win.

The most reliable sign, the most universal behavior of unscrupulous people is not directed, as one might imagine, at our fearfulness. It is, perversely, an appeal to our sympathy.

If courage is acting according to one's conscience despite pain or fear, then strength is the ability to keep conscience awake and in force despite the demands of authorities to do otherwise.

Sociopaths are just like everybody else in that some of them are really brilliant, some of them are really stupid, and most of them are somewhere in between.

I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's. His hair was perfect.

One way or another, a life without conscience is a failed life.

The ultimate manipulation is to kill someone, and sociopathy is murderous in a psychological sense - there's a kind of soul-murder going on.

Most of who we are is our deepest emotions, and someone who cannot feel those emotions in a positive way is never going to understand much about his fellow human beings.

Even famous people - are most concerned of all with what people who are close to them think. And the sociopath is generally not concerned with that at all.

People don't get to choose who they fall in love with. The only get to choose who they stay in love with.

Comedy writers don't join fraternities.''Don't pigeon hole me, Georgie, I'm infinite.

Let us think, let us loveJust for a day, just for a nightLet us find peace and happinessDeep in our heart with spiritual light.

What is the worth of anything But for the happiness 'twill bring?

You manufacture beauty with your mind

If we went back to the imprisonment rate we had in the early '70s, something like four out of five people employed in the prison industry would lose their jobs. That's what you're up against.

Your life will be joyful and complete when you have a pure heart and your motives are unsullied.

Children, being small and weak, have little market value.

Dismiss thoughts of 'good, bad, right, wrong, success, failure' - be spontaneous.

I love to continue to challenge myself and put myself in situations that are slightly uncomfortable.
