"I may have smoked too much weed,..." - Quote by Mike Tyson

“[Sometimes I] put on a ski mask and dress in old clothes, go out on the streets and beg for quarters.”

“I feel bad about my outlook, how I feel about people and society, and that I'll never be part of society the way I should.”

“Sometimes, the people we invest the most time in disappoint us the most.”

“We only confess our little faults to persuade people that we have no big ones.”

“The thing about secrets is they keep you in a prison. Once you share, WHOOSH, there is a release.”

“Confession of one's guilt purifies and uplifts. Its suppression is degrading and should always be avoided.”

“I don't think drugs are a problem; I think they're a symptom. As long as Americans are empty, spiritually, emotionally, morally empty, they will need things like the drugs they choose to use. Mankind has wanted to change the way it felt from the beginning anyway. In this country there are even more reasons to want to feel different, to want to feel better, because this is such a neon sewer. This is such a degrading culture. It forces you to play Beethoven to your child in the uterus so that he will get into a better school and a better job and make more money so he can take care of you.”

“The worst drugs are as bad as anybody's told you. It's just a dumb trip, which I can't condemn people if they get into it, because one gets into it for one's own personal, social, emotional reasons. It's something to be avoided if one can help it.”

“When we were on acid, we would go into the woods, because there was less chance that you would run into an authority figure. But we ran into a bear. My friend Duane was there, raising his right hand, swearing to help prevent forest fires. He told me, "Mitchell, Smokey is way more intense in person!"”
