Rorschach's Journal. October 12th, 1985: Dog carcass in alley this morning, tire tread on burst stomach. This city is afraid of me. I have seen its true face. The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout "Save us!"... and I'll whisper "no." - Rorschach (The Watchmen)

"I see a model's face on a brick wall.
A statue of porcelain perfection beside a violent city kill.
A city that worships flesh."

"I am not afraid of an army of lions led by a sheep, i am afraid of an army of sheep lead by a lion"- Alexander the Great

"There is no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is to crack down on criminals. When there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking the law. Create a nation of lawbreakers and then you can cash in on the guilt. Now that’s the system!”

Atlas Shrugged - Ayn Rand

"None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free." - Johann Wolfgang Von Geothe

“If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. … We need not wait to see what others do." - Ghandi

The above is more commonly paraphrased to:
"be the change you want to see in the world."
