“When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross.” – Sinclair Lewis
There’s nothing noble about dying. Not even if you die for honor. Not even if you die the greatest hero the world ever saw. Not even if you’re so great your name will never be forgotten and who’s that great? The most important thing is your life, little guys. You’re worth nothing dead except for speeches. Don’t let them kid you any more. Pay no attention when they tap you on the shoulder and say come along we’ve got to fight for liberty, or whatever their word is. There’s always a word.
Just say ‘mister I’m sorry, I got no time to die, I’m too busy’ and then turn and run like hell. If they say coward why don’t pay any attention because it’s your job to live not to die. If they talk about dying for principles that are bigger than life, you say ‘mister you’re a liar. Nothing is bigger than life’. There’s nothing noble in death.

People running up to you saying: ‘What do you think?’ In the morning! ‘What do you think?’ ‘Think? Think? I’m not even fucking breathing!’
