When I was at Brown. In other words, I'd heard about [H.P. Lovecraft], but I didn't pay that much attention till I happened to go to a meeting about it. And then I got just totally turned on.

I could do Superman, the Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, this kind of stuff [at school]. And kids would give me their lunch money to have these things.

My father knew all about this stuff [C.W. Leadbeater]. I owe a lot of what I'm doing, I think, to him. I'm sort of continuing my father's work.

I like Colin Wilson, mainly because he never went to school. When you don't go to school you can say anything you want like that and not have to worry.

You know, in the suburbs, most people believe in gravity, but they don't have much of a sense of humor.

Boston is not an avant garde place. It stays literally 15 to 20 years behind New York at all times.

I always had a sense of liking diagrams, from the time I was studying architecture. Architecture is built diagrams, basically.

In other words, [ H.P. Lovecraft] was areligious, asexual, neurasthenic, he just didn't want to react to the world. Like Virginia Woolf, who considered religion the ultimate obscenity.

Long John I think went off the air in about '79 or something, so there was a hiatus. That's why I think Art Bell thought there was a spot to be filled. He was doing exactly the same thing.

I first heard of [Orfeo Angelucci] from Giuseppe Conti who gave me some books by him.

I did do, well before Pop Art, all the cartoon characters as paintings.

Be kind. Be compassionate. Be love. Be original. Be authentic. Be peace. Be yourself. BE.

How needy man is.

Let's keep the Internet weird. Let's keep the Internet free.

The last time I cry was when I won the champions. It was one of the best moments in my life.

"Old times" never come back and I suppose it's just as well. What comes back is a new morning every day in the year, and that's better.

I feel that if I ever did adjust to prison, I could by that alone never adjust to society.

Truth is above all, but higher still is true living.

Manage the remarkable balance between acting from your heart and close to your gifts with completing the obligations that your labor and tasks require of you. Leverage opportunity AND seize joy.

In the 70s I was in exile; every time I went back I wondered if they'd take my passport away.

Nothing can be more contrary to religion and the clergy than reason and common sense.
