Many people, especially ignorant people, want to punish you for speaking the truth, for being correct, for being you. Never apologize for being correct, or for being years ahead of your time. If you're right and you know it, speak your mind. Speak your mind. Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is still the truth.

You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind.

Once you have made up your mind, stick to it; there no longer any 'if' or 'but'.

My life is not a political campaign. I just write about what is on my mind. I just play whatever I feel like playing. Whatever is in my soul at the time is what I want to do. I have, thank god, enough people who are still interested in what I am doing so that I can go out and keep doing it.

Convictions are prisons.

Convictions are more dangerous foes of truth than lies.
