You have to be someone who's really weird, or someone who's popular. • They have a never-ending cage of tests. • They keep pretending they're this and this and this, and then you see what they really are ... It might be a little psychotic ... And here's where things get really weird ... Because not only was I diminishing my own input under certain conditions, I was also reaching out, somehow, to diminish other people's input ... I was the wrong-way escalator guy! ... who always gets to the other side, through sheer determination, though in appearance, totally outlandish ... It's not exactly like a lever, because what you do is turn and go into the anger ... or turn and go into the fear ... or turn and go into the pain and somehow permeate them, searching for the sentient creature inside, which is yourself, suddenly finding yourself a witness to a "white, or unfelt memory" ... Just as a footnote: Marijuana and all that stuff is totally blind to these things, because it makes even the gateways into the invisible, invisible ... You've got to have a gnawing suspicion, inside yourself, that's alive and kicking. It's funny, because as interested and compassionate toward yourself as you are to get in, what's buried inside you wants to get out, and from what I can tell, meets you way more than halfway ... I've heard people say that those who have arrived, or "woken up," or "become enlightened," which I haven't, don't have teeth. And it's true. If you can reach into a belly pouch and pull out a Kimber .45 semiautomatic pistol and simply shoot someone with deadly accuracy, whether you're looking at them in the outside physical world or not, or have subtle effects on people by running energy up your spine, who needs teeth? • They trick people into hating them ... to cheat people, to save money ... You get people to hate you, and before they know it, you've cheated them out of having a nice life. • They want to keep control over people. • They want to live large. • They'll clear it up sooner or later. • They're all wound up like a rubber band because they're such liars. • They're not rolling in happiness, are they? ...

No!") • They're on a fake ocean liner going to a fake heaven. • They're fiends. • They're kicking sand in our faces! • They're really bossy, aren't they? ... Those people have no sense of humor ... What size is it? • This guy has what you call delivery! ... For no reason at all they're very serious about certain things ... When it's over, it's over! • This is a real one, isn't it? • This is really Australian farm stuff. • This is the mystery of my life ... Like Homer Simpson with a cruel streak ... Do you have any patents? ... Do you want to trade patents? ... The irresistible resistance. • This is the story of my life. • This may be the only idea he's ever had in his life, and he may not understand, some ideas aren't good. • Three kinds of people, those who can count, and those who can't. • Things change each other ... or reflect each other. • This is a definite Winnie-the-Pooh with a white penis ...

The hand of Death will brush your wing ... Greed and fear run the world! ... Don't get into bad habits ... Poke out is better than poke in! ... Love knocks! ... I'd tell ya, but then I'd have to kill ya! • Too bad more people don't do that. • Total obedience ... and love! • Try to be fair. • [Try to look serious...] – Just a finger! – [... because they're the bosses!] ... This stuff is nothing ... I get it! ... Satellite ready! ... Money breeds money ... I do everything right, believe me ... Wheel me off the roof ... Feces unite! ... Huge amount! ... I'll get some strange toilet, something really weird. • Toilet training special – Do your duty!

U. Upon meeting someone for the first time, approach with very low expectations, sense your lower abdomen, and adhere to beauty inside yourself ... Quiet your mind and Listen to the other's narrative, even if it sounds as crazy as, "No one ever heard of a third of a bird!"

V. Very few people are smart enough to be proud of where they come from. • Virginal with a child is very rare.

W. Wait a few months, right? ... Hatred, they want you to. Anger, burn it off. Sadness, it was. Fear, turn it off. Greed, what's next? Jealousy, your own path. (Greed, jealousy ... Both indicate you hate what you have.) Worry, it all depends who your mother is. • Wait, I want to hang onto my wallet! • Wait until you don't have any. • Wait until you meet someone better. • Want my advice? Don't start anything ... I'm feeling a little weak. Could you carry me? • Way up! ... Did you ever see the play, The Man Who Didn't Come to Dinner? ... Only the wealthy know ... The fifth world. • We ain't wrong!

Let her go and see what happens ... I'd like to take a worm for a swim ... Every time you get rejected by a girl, you're lucky ... Because do you want to end up with someone who doesn't like you? ... A soul-mate-who always-attacks-you and you attack them ... Oh, you're lucky! ... Short and sweet is what they used to say ... All it did was make you free ... Don't say things. Think things! "You need help taking that off?" ... The ones who are in real trouble are the ones who were never rejected ... Stand up straight! Don't put your finger in your nose before you touch my letter! ... Look how things turn out if you leave things alone ... You just have a nice life and see what happens ... Double it and add a million! ... You should take a bigger view ... You should see yourself against a bigger landscape ... When you see yourself too close, you get too narrow ... Against a big landscape you're doing all right ... It's a good way to be angry: Vote with your feet ... Take the broad view ... Don't get sucked into a barren view of things ... Don't even worry about it ... Just have fun ... Do what's good for you, what's good for your life ... I feel bad because of the way I was treated when I was little ... Feeling bad is an illusion ... What's hurting you is not believing it's an illusion ... It's not something to do ... It's an effort and a direction ... That would help a lot ... Is that the way to love someone, is to criticize them? ... My parents did not like me ... And it's very hard for me to express love, because I never saw it ... Well, no one's ever liked me ... I felt very hurt ... No one's making you feel hurt; you're pre-hurt; don't transfer your hurt onto outside objects ... You have a mind – You have outer reality ... It's free – It's in prison ... It's clean – It's dirty ... Don't mention it ... You saved me a lot of trouble ... Thanks for telling me I'm a good person ... Once today, twice tomorrow ... With some people, no matter what you do, you're the bad parent; with others, no matter what you do, you're the good parent ... If you don't take their father's shit, they hate you! ...

It's the circumstances around it ... That's real business, right? ... They're real geniuses ... It's amazing all the things you can get if you assertively and authoritatively demand it ... to carry you away! ... What are you going to call your baby? ... Practice? Vacation? Serious? • We're all animals ... Monogamy is not natural ... Maybe because your mother didn't die ... I wouldn't be surprised. • We're not descendants of fearful men. • Wearing short pants makes you feel vulnerable. • Well, anyways, your sailboat is yare! • Well, good, let me think about it. • Well, Jesus would still be alive if he did it. • Well, sure! I knew that! ... That's the way it is, and no one's going to tell me any better ... (Totally officious ... Worse than me! ... Because what that really is is a panic) • Well, who told you not to be? – Ninety percent is under water. • Well, you are in your own way ... I don't think anyone will ever know ... Nobody tells you what to do. • Well, you could dream. • Well, you went to grammar school. • What a comedown ... I'll have to start declaring them if this keeps up ... You can read what I do ...

Read The Wolf Man. • What a tootsie! What a spitfire! What a firecracker! ... A leading intellectual light. • What about, even though you don't understand something, sooner or later you will? ... Most people can't take it ... They'd rather be frightened to death than see something for what it really is ... (It's like catharsis of pity and fear – They don't have to be afraid of their mother and father – They can be afraid of George Bush) ... They think you can't deal with things directly ... inside you ... They think you have to deal with things indirectly ... which is bullshit ... Just tell your unconscious to turn on the adrenaline ... Come on! Turn up the adrenaline ... You can only be happy if you suffered, and you stop suffering. • What about stealing things? ...
