"Fuck that bullshit that they told you in school, "YOU'RE SPECIAL!" Bullshit. You're not. I don't think I'm special, superior or smarter than anyone else. We all may be unique, but that doesn't mean special. This whole social structure of status, class, and wealth is a crock of shit. It's all just based on luck and who you blow and/or know." - Stile

"I want to leave my mark on the world and just do something different. I want to go out in a ball of fucking fire with a marching band and rockets blasting away. I want to explode into a million pieces of fury. I want to look eternity in the eyes and not blink. I want to face unconsciousness with no fear, and welcome whatever happens with enthusiasm." - Stile

"You remember sitting in that restaurant after it's over, meeting up again just because you have to, and you're crying at the table. You can't help it. He's sitting there, looking beautiful on every level and yet you know not to reach across the table to touch his hand." - Tori Amos

"And again, it's really working through being a victim. You can't blame the men anymore; there's always you." - Tori Amos

"You know, he can never take your soul. There can be scars, but he will never take your soul. Your soul is yours. You take it back okay? You keep your soul." - Tori Amos

"There is value in everybody's gift. No matter how hard it is to find or how strange it is." - Tori Amos

"Has everyone totally lost their fucking minds? I'd rather burn in your fucking hell than have to conform to your Nazi ideals and ethics. Fuck you, fuck your Jesus, and fuck your stupid religion." - Stile

"What I do I consider art. If you hate me for it, fine, if you don't like it, then fuck you, that's what I think. If my music doesn't fit in with the backstreet boys suck-my-dick white boys tryin' to be black, then I hope it never will." -Trent Reznor

"Pride and the Internet are unrelated concepts. I'm sure you've figured this out already." - Christian Rudder, science editor of TheSpark.com

"Remember how your crotch feels after a day of swimming at the beach? Right. Well, now I got a pair of crotches on the ends of my legs, and they both feel goddamn disgusting. That brings me to three crotches, total, which is right past my limit. Jesus." - Christian Rudder, science editor of TheSpark.com

"By the way, later that night people started daring each other to: first, have sex until orgasm with a watermelon, and second, eat the violated piece. Three guys actually did this. It turns out the trick is to warm the watermelon in the oven before attempting to seduce it. I swear to God this is true." - Christian Rudder, science editor of TheSpark.com

"If religion is used to allow you to come to terms with death, and also to guide you in how you live your life, then I think art can do the same thing. But in a less schematic way, in a much less rigid and absolute way, which is why it appeals to me and religion doesn't." - David Cronenberg

"My problem with Christianity was they never allowed you to look into any other religions. It's like, "This is the book. This is the way. Believe it or go to hell." Fuck that. And who knows? I could be wrong. Maybe when I die I could go to purgatory and there could be Jesus going, "See? We tried to tell you the whole time. You fucked up, now go to hell." - Sully Erna, of Godsmack

"There are just some things that don't seem very fair in the world, like this fucking hypocrisy of organized religion. I just don't understand how people can blindly believe a bunch of the shit they're fed, to believe it so that they don't think too hard about other issues. 'Be a good boy and you'll go to heaven.' If it works for you, fine, but it doesn't work for me and that pisses me off because I kind of wish it did." - Trent Reznor

"I do actually believe in love. I can't say that I'm 100 percent successful in that department, but I think it's one of the few worthwhile human experiences. It's cooler than anything I can think of right now." - Trent Reznor

"Reznor. Died. Said 'fist fuck' and won a Grammy." - Trent Reznor on what his epitaph should be

"So, you know, when we sit around the table, and we talk about the Christian God because we are surrounded by a Christian family, we have to think about, in the name of God, the murders, the rapes, the lies. This isn't 'love your neighbor as yourself' kind of behavior. And it's really important that we look at that. So when you ask me my relationship with God, it does depend on what culture you are talking about. Because the Christian God and I have obviously a few things to sort out." - Tori Amos

"I really like people. I didn't used to think that I did, because I went through some crazy phase, somebody I was dating who had that 'they-don't-really-like-people' thing going on. I really like hearing people'stales. And when they kind of confide in me what's going on it makes me feel really special that they trusted me. And when you start hearing some of these stories it's pretty humbling. Because so many people have been through their unique shadow world, I guess. And what's a monster to one person isn't to another, but you start seeing how these people really share a secret with you and it's very moving." - Tori Amos

"Don't get me wrong because I love boys, it's just that sometimes we don't need you." - Tori Amos

"And make sure you remember that you have to stay around." - Tori Amos

"Love is a snowmobile racing across the tundra and then suddenly it flips over, pinning you underneath. At night, the ice weasels come." - Matt Groening

"Creationists make it sound as though a 'theory' is something you dreamt up after being drunk all night." - Isaac Asimov
