A paranoid is someone who knows a little of what's going on. in my writing i am acting as a map maker, an explorer of psychic areas, a cosmonaut of inner space, and i see no point in exploring areas that have already been thoroughly surveyed. your mind will answer most questions if you learn to relax and wait for the answer. desperation is the raw material of drastic change. only those who can leave behind everything they have ever believed in can hope to escape. love is a haunting melody that i have never mastered, and i fear i never will. in the u.s. you have to be a deviant or die of boredom. after one look at this planet any visitor from outer space would say i want to see the manager. the junk merchant doesn't sell his product to the consumer, he sells the consumer to his product. he does not improve and simplify his merchandise. he degrades and simplifies the client. the dream is a spontaneous happening and therefore dangerous to a control system set-up by the non-dreamers nothing is true, everything is permitted. then it developed sort of teethlike... nobody loved it. and the pieces would stick to his hands... nerve connections were blocked... and infiltrated and atrophied..

There couldn't be a society of people who didn't dream. they'd be dead in two weeks. danger is a biologic necessity, like dreams. if you face death, for that time, for the period of direct confrontation, you are immortal. it was unlike anything i ever heard. bubbly, thick, stagnant sound. a sound you could smell. this man worked for the carnival, you dig? and built an act around it... and it wanted to be kissed,.

I don't care if people hate my guts; i assume most of them do. the important question is whether they are in a position to do anything about it. a paranoid is someone who knows a little of what's going on. a psychotic is a guy who's just found out what's going on. in the magical universe there are no coincidences and there are no accidents. nothing happens unless someone wills it to happen. "because we don't need you like a tadpole's tail.
