I'm looking for one page or one quote from the Principia that sums up Discordianism, like John 3:16 for Christianity. "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life" sums up Christianity in a nutshell. Do we have any quotes like that?  :?

"Think for yourself, schmuck".

This without exception
You can't get out backward.  You have to go forward to go back.. better press on! - Willie Wonka, PBUH

Life can be seen as a game with no reset button, no extra lives, and if the power goes out there is no restarting.  If that's all you see life as you are not long for this world, and never will get it.

"Black sheep are still sheep." or "Think for yourself, schmuck."

Or as is amply demonstrated in this thread, "Ask 5 Discordians a question and get 7 different answers."

It is an unfortunate fact that every man who seeks to disseminate knowledge must contend not only against ignorance itself, but against false instruction as well. No sooner do we deem ourselves free from a particularly gross superstition, than we are confronted by some enemy to learning who would plunge us back into the darkness -H.P.Lovecraft

Faust's lines are for the people looking for a quick, general understanding. However, to fully understand Discordianism, a few moments of intense analysis of Doktor Howl's lines may enlighten you. In-fact, you can understand Discordianism with Faust's lines. But you can demonstrate it for others by repeating Doktor Howl's lines to yourself, over and over again.  :lulz:

To become a Discordian leader, repeat Doktor Howl's lines while trying to lick your elbow.  :lulz:

and grin like a ninny at what is Spoken. Take
thine refuge with thine wine in the Nothing
