document.write("<p>If the world that we are forced to accept is false and nothing is true, then everything is possible.</p>");
document.write("<p>On the way to discovering what we love, we will find everything we hate, everything that blocks our path of what we desire.</p>");
document.write("<p>The comfort will never be comfortable for those who seek what is not on the market.</p>");
document.write("<p>A systematic questioning of the idea of happiness.</p>");
document.write("<p>We&#39;ll cut the vocal chords of every empowered speaker. We&#39;ll yank the social symbols through the looking glass We&#39;ll devalue society&#39;s currency.</p>");
document.write("<p>To confront the familiar.</p>");
document.write("<p>Society is a fraud so complete and venal that it demands to be destroyed beyond the power of memory to recall its existence.</p>");
document.write("<p>Where there is fire, we will carry gasoline.</p>");
document.write("<p>To interrupt the continuum of everyday experience and all the normal expectations that go with it.</p>");
document.write("<p>To live as if something actually depended on one&#39;s actions.</p>");
document.write("<p>To rupture the spell of the ideology of the commodified consumer society so that our repressed desires of a more authentic nature can come forward.</p>");
document.write("<p>To demonstrate the contrast between what life presently is and what it could be.</p>");
document.write("<p>To immerse ourselves in the oblivion of actions and know we&#39;re making it happen.</p>");
document.write("<p>There will be an intensity never before known in everyday life to exchange love and hate, life and death, terror and redemption, repulsions and attractions.</p>");
document.write("<p>An affirmation of freedom so reckless and unqualified, that it amounts to a total denial of every kind of restraint and limitation.</p>");

document.write("<p>Hey, old man, what you doin&#39; up there?</p>");
document.write("<p>Well, I&#39;m not sure.</p>");
document.write("<p>You need any help getting down, sir?</p>");
document.write("<p>No, don&#39;t think so.</p>");
document.write("<p>Stupid bastard.</p>");
document.write("<p>No worse than us. He&#39;s all action and no theory. We&#39;re all theory and no action.</p>");

document.write("<p>(The same four guys see an old man sitting at a bench)</p>");
document.write("<p>Why so glum, Mr. Debord?</p>");
document.write("<p>What was missing was felt irretrievable. The extreme uncertainties of subsisting without working made excesses necessary and breaks definitive. To quote Stevenson: &quot;Suicide carried off many. Drink and the devil took care of the rest.&quot;</p>");
