We have the power to defy the selfish genes of our birth and, if necessary, the selfish memes of our indoctrination. . . . We, alone on earth, can rebel against the tyranny of the selfish replicators.

We are built as gene machines and cultured as meme machines, but we have the power to turn against our creators. We, alone on earth, can rebel against the tyranny of the selfish replicators.* 12

Our properties within our own territories [should not] be taxed or regulated by any power on earth but our own.

In the long run, the people are our only appeal. The only ones who can free us are ourselves.

You are the only person on earth who can use your ability.

We come into this world alone, unlike all who have gone before us...Nature never repeats herself, and the possibilities of one human soul will never be found in another.

Each of us is indeed alone.

As artists and professionals it is our obligation to enact our own internal revolution, a private insurrection inside our own skulls. In this uprising we free ourselves from the tyranny of consumer culture.

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery.
None but ourselves can free our minds.

We must be our own before we can be another's.

we’re powerful all on our own; as one, something to warn others about.- i forget that we didn’t know each other, once.

We only become what we are by the radical and deep-seated refusal of that which others have made of us.

do what you’d do if you were the only person on Earth.

Cadmus: Shall we alone of all the city dance in Bacchus' honor?
Teiresias: Yea, for we alone are wise, the rest are mad.
