• Mary Ocher gives me the chills, she frightens me with her feral soul.
  Her sound is of a true outsider artist, immaculately self possessed.
  Was this recorded this century? Or out of a basement that's she's been imprisoned all her
  life? Time to set her loose on the world. I'm so happy she exists. Set me free Mary!

  Karen O

• A joker is a little fool who is different from everyone else. He's not a club, diamond, heart, or spade. He's not an eight or a nine, a king or a jack. He is an outsider. He is placed in the same pack as the other cards, but he doesn't belong there. Therefore, he can be removed without anybody missing him.

• The most important truths always appear first as blasphemies or obscenities. That's why every great innovator is persecuted. And the sacraments look obscene, too, to an outsider. The eucharist is just sublimated cannibalism, to the unawakened. When the Pope kisses the feet of the laity, he looks like an old toe-queen to some people. The rites of Pan look like a suburban orgy.

• The world is not made of countries and outsiders. We are all just humans, and most of us fools and all of us longing for more than we have, to know more than we know--and yet even that is not enough, for if we knew everything we would only be disappointed that there was not one more secret to uncover.

• The tragedy is that in the name of resisting the internal deterioration of faith and the corruption of the world around them, many Christians - and Christian conservatives most significantly -unwittingly embrace some of the most corrosive aspects of the cultural disintegration they decry. By nurturing its resentments, sustaining them through a discourse of negation toward outsiders, and in cases, pursuing their will to power, they become functional Nietzscheans, participating in the very cultural breakdown they so ardently strive resist.

• Durante el primer día, curiosos por tener forasteros entre ellos, un largo reguero de reclusos se acercó a hablar conmigo. Sorprendentemente, según lo que me contaron, casi todos los reclusos de la prisión no lo habían hecho. Varios miles de personas habían sido encerradas injustamente y, por una increíble coincidencia, todas en la misma prisión. Por otro lado, sabían muchísimo sobre cómo acuchillar a alguien.

• Los empollones dirigen el mundo. Andrew Garfield hizo una película [llamada "La red social"] sobre ello. Los empollones ya no son parias y saber escribir código informático ha dejado de ser una cualidad [de la que se burlan]. Lo que era importante en esos primeros cómics era la idea de que Peter Parker es un marginado y cómo definimos eso en un contexto contemporáneo. Creo que ése fue uno de nuestros retos: conseguir que el estatus de outsider de Peter Parker fuera actual.

• Si una persona ajena percibe que "algo falla" en un modelo científico básico, la respuesta humilde y justificada de esa persona curiosa debería ser preguntarse "¿qué error estoy cometiendo?" antes de dar por sentado que el 100% de los expertos están equivocados.

• We as outsiders can't differentiate between Sunni and Shi'ah, but leave it to them and they'll get over the difficulty by some kind of hanky panky, just as the Turks did, and for the present it's the only way of getting over it. I don't for a moment doubt that the final authority must be in the hands of the Sunnis, in spite of their numerical inferiority; otherwise you will have a mujtahid-run, theocratic state, which is the very devil.
