“I believe our education system as a whole has not integrated the histories of all people into our education system, just the Eurocentric view of itself, and the White-centered view of African Americans, and even this is slim to nonexistent. What I find is that most people don't know the fact they don't know, because of the complete lack of information.”

“Característiques dels homes violents 1. Creences rígides basades en els "mites culturals" de la masculinitat o inferioritat de la dona. 2. Repressió emocional. Resolen els seus conflictes a través d'accions violentes. 3. Aïllament emocional. 4. Una baixa autoestima davant "l'amenaça" de pèrdua de poder, i intenten aconseguir-lo per la força. 5. Controlen la conducta de la seva dona amb coaccions (amenaces, abús verbal, acusacions d'infidelitat). 6. Són gelosos i presenten actituds possessives. 7. Minimitzen o neguen la violència. 8. Racionalitzen, no accepten l'autocrítica i projecten la responsabilitat en la provocació dels altres. 9. Manipulen els fills. 10. Presenten una dissociació entre el comportament públic i el privat. 11. Es resisteixen al canvi en no reconèixer la seva responsabilitat en la violència i no tenen cap motivació per canviar o demanar ajuda. 12. Només canvien o demanen ajuda quan l'actitud de la dona els demostra que no poden mantenir la conducta violenta i apareix la por a ser abandonats.”

“Welcome to the Church of the Serpent. The universe is the Tree of Knowledge. At the top of the tree is the Golden Bough with which we attain Golden Knowledge, the Apex Knowledge of the cosmos. So, we must climb. All the way to the highest consciousness. The Church of the Serpent is devoted to knowledge – ultimate knowledge, the knowledge of existence itself. We must have Absolute Knowledge. Nothing else will suffice. Completion, or nothing. From the top of the Tree of Knowledge, we shall command all knowledge. Like Faust, we will make a pact with any force to reach our goal. Like Prometheus, we will steal from the gods and risk any punishment to secure our ends. Like the Cimmerians, we will travel from the deepest darkness, where the sun never shines, to the brightest light. Like the Hyperboreans, we seek the perfect land where the sun always shines, yet we Hyperborean Apollonians must be able to return to Dionysian Cimmeria to enjoy the intoxication of the dark.”
