Abhorrent ideas need to be challenged by better ones, not banned. — John Farndon

Wear your skeleton on the inside out, and keep your insect heart secret. — Karen Russell

The idea is to use minor events that are believed to be related to a terrorist organization, so graffiti is one of them, banners and leaflets are others, but also a lot of minor crimes if you can connect them with the group - credit card fraud, thefts - these types of things have been used to support them. — Kim Rossmo
