Readings... The Illuminatus! Trilogy

There is no god but man.

Man has the right to live by his own law--to
live in the way that he wills to do: to work as
he will: to play as he will: to rest as he will:
to die when and how he will.

Man has the right to eat what he will: to drink
what he will: to dwell where he will: to move as
he will on the face of the earth.

Man has the right to think what he will: to speak
what he will: to write what he will: to draw, paint,
carve, etch, mold, build as he will: to dress as
he will.

Man has the right to love as he will.

Man has the right to kill those who thwart
these rights.

"Growing up is a trap, snapped Dr. Robbins. When they tell you to shut up, they mean stop talking. When they tell you to grow up, they mean stop growing. Reach a nice level plateau and settle there, predictable and unchanging, no longer a threat. If Sissy is immature, it means she's still growing; if she's still growing, it means she's still alive. Alive is a dying culture."
-Even Cowgirls get the Blues by Tom Robbins
