Greg Graffin Quotes

A lot of lunatics who are going to go commit crimes are held in check because of their sense of morality or because it is not something that Jesus would have done. Then there are people who get comfort from it, and I think comfort's a good thing. It's a really good community through which you can delude yourself. And delusion serves its purpose in many respects.

Obviously there have been some very poor uses of evolution in the 20th century. Social Darwinism for instance and we point out in the book that that's not a viable way of using evolutionary knowledge. What's going on with society is entirely different from what goes on in nature. We make that distinction clear. And I use anarchy as a metaphor. I think good literature, whether it's fiction or non-fiction, still has to have a good deal of metaphor in it. - Greg Graffin
