“It's a frightening thing to be truly honest with yourself. It means you have no one left to turn to anymore, no-one to blame, and to one to look to for salvation. You have to give up any possibility that there will ever be any refuge for you. You have to accept the reality that you are truly and finally on your own. The best thing you can hope for in life is to meet a teacher who will smash all of your dreams, dash all of your hopes, tear your teddy-bear beliefs out of your arms and fling them over a cliff.”
― Brad Warner, Hardcore Zen: Punk Rock, Monster Movies and the Truth about Reality

“The very idea of higher states of consciousness is absurd. Comparing one state of consciousness to another and saying one is "higher" and the other is "mundane" is like eating a banana and complaining it's not a very good apple.”
― Brad Warner, Hardcore Zen: Punk Rock, Monster Movies and the Truth about Reality

“You won’t understand life and death until you’re ready to set aside any hope of understanding life and death and just live your life until you die.”

“The only ones who should kill, are those who are prepared to be killed.”
