• I'm ripe for the picking for the Scientologists - one of those creeps. Someone's got to find me. Some little weird cult can just pluck me up, because I'm ripe for the picking.

• You know, like, there's songs like "Valerie" and "Bang Bang Bang" that I was so proud of. And, you know, the level of success that they had - if they were little cult hits meant that, you know, I could sellout Webster Hall or Williamsburg Musical Hall or the El Rey theater in LA. Like, that was having made it to me. So the thought of having a number one song in my own career, like, never even registered.

• The idea that man is a tabula rasa, or Mao's sheet of blank paper upon which the most beautiful characters can be written, is an old one with disastrous implications. I do not think though that the cults you mention could survive honest thought about human nature.

• I think cults are probably a little less scary. To me, it's scarier that 25 people would wear robes and jump up and down and try to convert everyone to happiness than a Kool-Aid suicide.

• The Tea Baggers, they're not a movement, they're a cult.... Cults tend to populate from within, encouraging members to have huge broods of children and to give them strange names, like Moonbeam, and Trig.

• La Verdad no necesita tu cooperación para existir. Todas las formas de culto, todas las formas de exageración, todas las formas de engaño requieren tu participación para existir. He examinado áreas marginales de la experiencia humana -histórica y de otro tipo- con una mente racional, y lo que he encontrado es que las puertas a lo milagroso son mucho menos de lo que los publicistas de la Nueva Era nos quieren hacer creer. Por otra parte, no son tan escasas como nos quieren hacer creer los defensores del reduccionismo y el materialismo radicales. Hay puertas para salir de lo mundano.

  Terence McKenna

• Which is why I'd like to tip off law enforcement to an even larger child-abusing religious cult. Its leader also has a compound, and this guy not only operates outside the bounds of the law, but he used to be a Nazi and he wears funny hats. That's right, the Pope is coming to America this week and ladies, he's single!

• Tengo la idea de que las zapatillas de correr se basan en una especie de idea de culto: que nuestros pies son defectuosos y necesitamos zapatillas para corregir esos defectos. Las empresas de calzado se dedican a vender zapatillas. Pero no hay pruebas de que los fabricantes de zapatillas tengan razón. No hay datos científicos que demuestren que las zapatillas reducen las lesiones.

• Debería haber una clase sobre drogas. Debería haber una clase sobre educación sexual, una verdadera clase de educación sexual, no sólo fotos y diafragmas y términos "ilógicos" y cosas así ...... Debería haber una clase sobre estafas, debería haber una clase sobre cultos religiosos, debería haber una clase sobre brutalidad policial, debería haber una clase sobre apartheid, debería haber una clase sobre racismo en Estados Unidos, debería haber una clase sobre por qué la gente tiene hambre, pero no la hay, hay clases de gimnasia, educación física, aprendamos voleibol.

• Lo que pone en movimiento los mundos es la interacción de las diferencias, sus atracciones y repulsiones. La vida es pluralidad, la muerte es uniformidad. Al suprimir las diferencias y peculiaridades, al eliminar las diferentes civilizaciones y culturas, el progreso debilita la vida y favorece la muerte. El ideal de una civilización única para todos, implícito en el culto al progreso y a la técnica, nos empobrece y mutila. Cada visión del mundo que se extingue, cada cultura que desaparece, disminuye una posibilidad de vida

  Octavio Paz

• El Estado mundial debe comenzar, sólo puede comenzar, como una secta propagandística, o como un grupo de sectas propagandísticas, a las que los hombres y las mujeres deben entregarse y entregar sus energías, sin tener en cuenta las consecuencias para ellos mismos Las actividades de una secta que se propusiera realizar el Estado mundial serían al principio propagandísticas, serían intelectuales y educativas, y sólo cuando se hubiera acumulado una masa suficiente de opinión y voluntad se convertirían en una medida predominantemente constructiva desde el punto de vista político. Tal culto debe dirigirse particularmente a la enseñanza de los jóvenes.

• Being a cult figure in one's own lifetime I am afraid is not at all pleasant. However I do not find that it tends to puff one up: in my case at any rate it makes me feel extremely small and inadequate. But even the nose of a very modest idol cannot remain entirely untickled by the sweet smell of incense.

  J. R. R. Tolkien
