“You are a rational soul, in charge of an animal body”
— Alan Watts
“There’s something absurd about it, that people go with hard earned cash into a darkened room, where they sit and they look at a crystalline screen upon which images move around and speak. And the reason that they don’t have light in the theater, is because you are there with your fantasy. The person up on the screen is doing all the things that you wanna do. They’re kissing the women that you wanna kiss, hitting the people that you wanna hit, being brave in a way that you want to be brave. The audience will lend themselves to the subject. They will create things that are not there”
— Marlon Brando
“If you ladies leave my island, if you survive recruit training ... you will be a weapon, you will be a minister of death, praying for war. But until that day you are pukes! You’re the lowest form of life on Earth. You are not even human fucking beings! You are nothing but unorganized grabasstic pieces of amphibian shit!
Because I am hard, you will not like me. But the more you hate me, the more you will learn. I am hard, but I am fair! There is no racial bigotry here! I do not look down on niggers, kikes, wops or greasers. Here you are all equally worthless! And my orders are to weed out all non-hackers who do not pack the gear to serve in my beloved Corps! Do you maggots understand that?”
