I was never too interested in high school. i mean, i never went to a dance, i never went out on a date, i never went steady. it became pretty awful for me. except, of course, i could go see bands, and that was the kick. i used to go to cleveland just to see any band. so i was in love a lot of the time, but mostly with guys in bands that i had never met. for me, knowing that brian jones was out there, and later that iggy pop was out there, made it kind of hard for me to get too interested in the guys that were around me. i had, uh, bigger things in mind.

Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is. ... we never find out the strength of the evil impulse inside us until we try to fight it: and christ, because he was the only man who never yielded to temptation, is also the only man who knows to the full what temptation means—the only complete realist.
Strong Mean Fighting
The greatest temptation for the like of us is: to renounce violence, to repent, to make peace with oneself. most revolutionaries fell before this temptation, from spartacus to danton and dostoevsky; they are the classical form of betrayal of the cause. the temptations of god were always more dangerous for mankind than those of satan. as long as chaos dominates the world, god is an anachronism; and every compromise with one’s own conscience is perfidy. when the accursed inner voice speaks to you, hold your hands over your ears….

A silly idea is current that good people do not know what temptation means. this is an obvious lie. only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is... a man who gives in to temptation after five minutes simply does not know what it would have been like an hour later. that is why bad people, in one sense, know very little about badness. they have lived a sheltered life by always giving in.

Time management tips: the perpetual processing of the same temptation is both dangerous and time-wasting. cycling and recycling the same temptation (instead of rejecting such blandishment out of hand) is not only to risk one's soul, again and again, but is to bring on fatigue, so that the adversary may be able to do indirectly what we will not let him do directly. a lack of decisiveness in dealing with temptation ties up our thought processes and prevents us from doing good with the time allotted to us.

I was shown into a room. a red room. red wallpaper, red curtains, red carpet. they said it was a sitting-room, but i don’t know why they’d decided to confine its purpose just to sitting. obviously, sitting was one of the things you could do in a room this size; but you could also stage operas, hold cycling races, and have an absolutely cracking game of frisbee, all at the same time, without having to move any of the furniture. it could rain in a room this big.

Just by being out you're doing your part. it's like recycling. you're doing your part for the environment if you recycle; you're doing your part for the gay movement if you're out.

My tides were fluctuating, too - back and forth, back and forth - sometimes so fast they seemed to be spinning. they call this 'rapid cycling.' it's a marvel that a person can appear to be standing still when the mood tides are sloshing back and forth, sometimes sweeping in both directions at once. they call that a 'mixed state.'
