BOYD RICE

I've always done everything at my disposal to avoid labeling what I do, or to avoid being labeled myself.

I think I feel automatically at home in Italy.

To be beyond any existing classification has always pleased me.

There are a lot of people out there who think that I am their worst enemy, and I don't even care if these people exist.

I think this society suffers so much from too much freedom, too many rights that allow people to be irresponsible.

Similarly, only people as misanthropic as myself can be counted on not to have to lie to others, since we have the unique luxury of not caring what sort of opinions others formulate about us.

Well, I have an interest in power. I have an interest in people who find themselves in the position to exercise absolute power.

My impression, is that prayer is one of the most basic forms of magic. That it's harnessing the powers of your mind.

I think when I was two years old in the sandbox. I think I formulated my basic philosophy there, and I haven't really had to alter it very much ever since.

I've been giving interviews for the last 25 or 30 years, more often than not answering the same questions over and over again, ad nauseum.

Well, I use the word Satanist, but I don't know if I ever really considered myself as somebody who's into Satan.

No, seriously, I really don't have much ill-will toward anyone these days; I just ignore the people that I dislike.

The will to label will always prevail over what's being labeled, usually at the expense of either truth or understanding.

I have never made any secret of any of my thoughts or areas of interest. I've always been honest, open, and upfront.

Have you ever seen a demonstrable example of equality in your entire life? Can it be glimpsed in any dog show or classroom? In any ping pong game or chess match? Of course not. It is a philosophical abstraction, something nowhere to be found in nature.

Peace /n/: A rare state which has only existed when a despot has been fearsome or strong enough to impose it. The image of your head on the end of a stick is a strong incentive toward 'visualizing world peace'.

People who consider themselves political, who follow political developments most rigorously, are often those who view the political process with the greatest lack of perspective.

If laws were real they wouldn’t need to be enforced, because if they were real they couldn’t be broken. Try breaking the law of gravity. Now that’s a law. Laws made by man are rules reflecting the current status of his moral codes. As he alters and whittles away his morality, casting bits and pieces aside, his codes change to reflect it.

Nature is typified by strength; humanity by weakness. Nature adheres to an immutable order; humanity to an ever-increasing chaos. Nature recognizes no equality at any level of it's order; humanity preaches an all-prevasive equality and freely hands-out unearned "rights" in an attempt to make its doctrine a living reality. In short: humanity is Democratic, nature is Fascist.

I did Noise Music because I genuinely liked noise... But a lot of people didn't. At my concerts, people smashed beer glasses in my face.

Don't shrink from natures brutal perfection. Take joy in it. Embrace it. Understand it and revel in it. Respect it's strength, it's wisdom, it's brutality and it's all-encompassing power. The highest law has always been, and shall be, nature; and the greatest wisdom forever lives in and through nature's eternal Fascism.

Woman must be put back in her place. Man’s great error was to put woman on a pedestal, when she is far more at ease on her knees – where she belongs. … Woman must be reacquainted with truth and force. She must be reacquainted with truth through force. … She must be shown in no uncertain terms the absolute nature of the master/slave relationship endemic to the sexes.

I never understood alienation. Alienation from what? You have to want to be part of something in order to feel alienated from it.

Embrace nature's brutal perfection.

What I question is the extent to which any of us truly knows what the facts really are. I mistrust every ideal cherished in western democratic civilization. The words that make others smile and nod in agreement cause me to recoil.
