"I have never boiled cats myself, nor have I urged anyone to, that was an old ritual I was talking about in [my book] Black Magic. Someone I knew did boil cats alive. I, too, have two cats at my home in Vehmaa and they are my good friends."

"I am a debauchee, I am a pervert. My mother wished for me to become a theologist, but I became a filthologist."

"Extreme movements aren't really popular right now, but they are still a necessary evil in this climate."

"Great men like Adolf Hitler are only born once in a hundred years. I must admit that Franco was more successful than Hitler, but we need to take into account that fascism and national socialism are two different things. They should never be confused with each other."

"Hobbies: women, vodka, weapons"

"I believe that we should send all the refugee niggers to Lapland for snow work. Santa needs black elves, too. It is equality."

"Heil Hitler."

"My mother used to say that women usually need a stupid man with a lot of money and a long penis."

"Jungle peoples lack knowledge or any talent to speak of."

"This racial hatred does not extend to the gypsies and Jews living in Finland, only to those filthy mud-noses who are being imported here to live off of our money so that we are impoverished as a result."

"In any case, I am a rock-hard racist, sadist and fascist. That is what I enjoy. Mercy is sickness."

"I think it is very wrong that those mud-noses are being brought here. All they do is rape our women, spread AIDS and steal and rob."

"I don't shoot Aryans. But if someone else comes..."

"The magnums are always ready here."

"In about 10 to 15 years, the United States will have a black majority, and whites will be brought down to the position of a downtrodden people."

"We have many sympathisers in the police force. Our activities are also accepted by many in the Finnish army."

"[Interviewer: Do you, Pekka Siitoin, believe that there will some day be Nazi rule in Finland?] Certainly."

"“What does is matter if I am called a man? In truth, I am the very soul of love, The entire earth is my home, and the universe my country.”"

"“When the flowers of the church, mosque and temple gather together, Spring will blossom forth in your garden, O Lord.”"

"“All places of worship are symbols of the One Beloved. Bow your head when you see a temple, and salute when you see a mosque.”"

"“Love has only a beginning, It has no end.”"

"“We are communing with the moon and the stars, But alas, we have not reached the heart of our neighbor.”"

"“I have no friend except my Beloved, I have no work except his love.”"

"“Embrace every man as your very own, And shower your love freely wherever you go.”"

"“O Cupbearer, let those long divided embrace one another, And through the intoxication of your love, make all mankind truly human.”"

"The tree laden with fruits is always a bit bent. Not because of any burden but because it has something to offer."

"The kingdom of consciousness is under siege by the desires of our mind."

"When you forgive, somewhere you sacrifice a part of your own existence, your respect, your dignity, yourself."

"Nothing is impossible for the one who treads the path of meditation"

"Thoughts that you do not let go leave an imprint on your mind. That imprint is the residue. Meditation is the process of washing away that residue. It is the cleaning of your slate and keeping it that way. When we fail to abandon our thoughts, they assume different forms. They can become desires, expectations or emotions."

"Just like two pieces of wood can be rubbed together to produce fire and the same fire later consumes them both, intellect and concentration support the contemplative meditation. But when the fire of insight arises, it consumes both intellect and concentration, giving way to pristine awareness."

"Ultimately, it's not about meditation or belief in some scripture or religion, it's about flowing with the river of life, it's about living with compassion and gratitude."

"In order to fit into certain ideals, you need to mutilate yourself."

"We can decide where to go but we’re not really free…I like having this idea of multiple selves and multiple circumstances. Because that’s what we are."

"…I thought it was important to resist. That’s why I wanted to tell stories about bad women. Feminism, though, was much less appealing than in today's conservative Indonesia. Even progressive male thinkers tend to see feminism in Indonesia as irrelevant, disruptive, or merely a copycat of Western feminism."

"We are always haunted by the question of not choosing the other path, the road not taken…Travelling is always about making choices, but at the same time your choices are made for you, structured by many things: nationality, class, gender, what we can access and what not. We’re walking on a map that already exists and our location on the map has been decided."

"…My fiction is also influenced by women intellectuals such as Melani Budianta and Julia Suryakusuma. I love the works of male writers such as Asrul Sani, Budi Darma’s Orang-orang Bloomington (The People of Bloomington), and Moetinggo Boesje’s play Malam Jahanam (The Night of the Accursed), but my priority now is to learn more about writings by women. Just like in many Western countries, the practice of defining literature has often excluded or ignored women’s writings and their contexts."

"Planck, Einstein, Bohr, Heisenberg, Schrodinger, Born, Pauli, De Broglie, Dirac, the leading lights of the quantum revolution, are all there in that picture."

"Whether communism is partial or complete, political economy is no more tolerant of it than it is of monopoly, of which it is merely an extension."

"Everywhere, when societies originate, we see the strongest, most warlike races seizing the exclusive government of the society. Everywhere we see these races seizing a monopoly on security within certain more or less extensive boundaries, depending on their number and strength.And, this monopoly being, by its very nature, extraordinarily profitable, everywhere we see the races invested with the monopoly on security devoting themselves to bitter struggles, in order to add to the extent of their market, the number of their forced consumers, and hence the amount of their gains.War has been the necessary and inevitable consequence of the establishment of a monopoly on security.Another inevitable consequence has been that this monopoly has engendered all other monopolies."
