The Odin Brotherhood

  • "When the world is pregnant with lies, a secret long hidden will be revealed."
  • "When the gods made man, they made a weapon."
  • "Strength is that which promotes thought and daring."
  • "Beware of gods who cannot laugh."
  • "Magic is the technology of gods."
  • "Let my violent thrust into the future begin!"
  • "Faith is a poison that paralyzes the mind. In all the days of your life, seek knowledge!"
  • "Repentance is an act of cowardice. Remember, only the terrorized repent."
  • "Most mortals can wish--only extraordinary mortals can will."
  • "The destruction will stop when there is nothing left to violate."
  • "Behold the hero! Even as the wild flowers return in the spring, so shall he return!"
  • "Nothing dies forever."
  • "Hail to the gods that are dead! They are the future race of lords!"

The Cannibal Within

  • "The truth is not beautiful - it stands on cloven hooves - it is covered in coagulated blood - but it is the truth."
  • "Ingestion is the ultimate act of domination. The victim is absorbed by the eater--body and soul are absorbed--and all that remains is excrement."
  • "You must torture it first, she whispered, with perverse logic. "Terror-stricken animals taste better."
  • "Man needs lies like children need toys."
  • "In this reality of ours, gods are simply expert players who move grotesquely carved pieces in a game without rules."
  • "Self-destruction would be a brief, almost autoerotic free-fall into a great velvet darkness"
  • "Had not the great Yukio Mishima killed himself with a dagger? Thrusting and wet--his hand one with the weapon--Mishima called suicide the 'ultimate masturbation.'"
  • "Crawling into your soul, we can brutalize you without even touching you."
  • "Nailed to the crosses were two thieves. Naked except for crowns of thorns, they were called 'Perverted by Wealth" and 'Degraded by Poverty.'"
  • 'Error is like sin,' hissed a voice in the dream. 'The deeper it is, the less the victim suspects its existence.'"
  • 'In the next world--as in this world--beauty and danger, seduction and torment, are indissolubly linked."
  • "Devoted to wicked science--the hostile domination of nature--the complex is composed of thousands of gloomy laboratories. Here, legions of amoral researchers--greedy for knowledge--commit crimes against bodies and ideas."
  • "In my dreams I kissed her in a playful and amorous way, and then we made love--in the fresh air--the way wild animals do."

The Crimes of Jehovah

  • "The 39 books of the Old Testament are an interesting dispensation--even though Christ claimed: 'all that ever came before me are thieves and robbers.'" (John: 10:8)

Handbook for Rebels and Outlaws

  • "Never believe anything until it has been officially denied."

Attributed:

  • "As a force in history, beliefs are more important than facts."
