How could matter be just? There is only freedom . . . the courage to commit crime, for freedom itself is a crime . . . And the screams and the pain which flood toward me from glassy eyes and open mouths, the convulsing, impotent white flesh under my knife, reflect my triumph and my freedom and nothing else...
