“You don't need anyone to tell you what to believe or who to worship,....You don't need to follow any set of rituals. You don't need to worry about an angry God not allowing you into heaven. You don't need to march into these great temples of intolerance and be told what is God's inerrant and infallible word, because the simple truth is that nobody really knows that...All I know is that you're not slaves and you're not part of any grand master plan. ...you are all God's children....You create your own destiny. And you need to accept that responsibility and put aside your egocentricity and stop looking for excuses in tired old myths. You make your own fate every single day. You need to look after each other. You need to look after the land that feeds you and gives you the air you breathe. You need to assume your duty toward all of God's creation. And you need to accept the credit for the good and take the blame for the bad.”

“you don’t need big reasons to love a woman. And the size of the love has nothing to do with the size of the reason. Sometimes one word she says is enough. Sometimes only the line of the hip, like a poppy stem. And sometimes it’s how her lips look when she says ‘seven’ or ‘thirteen.’ Look and see, with ‘seven’ the lips are starting out like with a kiss. Then you see the teeth are touching the lips a moment to make the ‘v.’ And then the mouth is opening a little … like this … se-ven. See? And with ‘thirteen,’ the tip of the tongue is peeping out for the ‘th.’ Then the mouth is opening and the tongue is touching the top of the mouth at the end.”

“You don't need for me to tell you who you are because you already know the answer to that. Make life better, not just for you, but for those around you; friends, family, strangers, animals, nature; the universe. Set an example which you would gladly follow if you were seeing the light for the first time. Remember: Words are just words when they have no meaning, but as you all know, words have life within our imaginations and souls. Make 2022 the year that you came to life for the world.”

“You don’t need money to be generous. You don’t need education to be wise. You don’t need fame to be important. You don’t need charisma to be influential. You don’t need titles to be honorable. You don’t need awards to be special. You don’t need medals to be extraordinary. You don’t need consent to be yourself. You don’t need approval to be unique. You don’t need a license to be creative. You don’t need authorization to dream. You don’t need acceptance to be gifted. You don’t need youth to be a champion. You don’t need old age to be a hero. You need skill, not temper, to be a warrior. You need love, not rage, to be an activist. You need compassion, not robes, to be a priest. You need confidence, not ego, to be a politician. You need integrity, not charm, to be a leader. You need wisdom, not theories, to be a master. You need character, not size, to be a champion.”

“You don't need much to win the trust of apes, just say you'll make lots and lots of bombs, because in the book of apes, to be free is to be feared, and to be feared is to develop the capacity to kill fellow human beings - that's an absolute must in the democracy of monkeys, not brain, not heart, not character whatsoever, just the most acute animal instinct for killing, and this is what the apes call Geopolitics!”

“You don’t need no gun control, you know what you need? We need some bullet control. Men, we need to control the bullets, that’s right. I think all bullets should cost five thousand dollars… five thousand dollars per bullet… You know why? Cause if a bullet cost five thousand dollars there would be no more innocent bystanders. Yeah! Every time somebody get shut we’d say, ‘Damn, he must have done something ... Shit, he’s got fifty thousand dollars worth of bullets in his ass.’ And people would think before they killed somebody if a bullet cost five thousand dollars. ‘Man I would blow your fucking head off…if I could afford it.’ ‘I’m gonna get me another job, I’m going to start saving some money, and you’re a dead man. You’d better hope I can’t get no bullets on layaway.’ So even if you get shot by a stray bullet, you wouldn't have to go to no doctor to get it taken out. Whoever shot you would take their bullet back, like "I believe you got my property.”
