“I want to say at the outset that I have become ill, insane, as an inmate of the torture chamber behind America's fake facade of justice and democracy. But I am not as ill as I was, and I am getting better all the time. And also, I want to make clear that my reason for starting these notes at a point of personal anguish and suffering is that these experiences marked the end of a corrupt pimp life and were the prelude to a still mauled, but constructive new life.”

It’s a way of solving the conundrum of how can a good work be truly good if the doer of the work expects to benefit from it in any way." -David Clark”

“Actions are like cloths. Some wear it dirty, some wear it clean, some wear it bigger than normal and some smaller than their size. Some overdress themselves, and some wear it bringing the inside to the outside and the outside to the inside! Some wear it to scare and some to win admiration! Some wear it sincerely and some wear it deceptively. No matter what, we shall always wear this cloth and we shall always leave footprints because of it: actions!”
