Here's to the good Nuns for telling me what books NOT to read!

The minority who actually loves its work seems to be made up chiefly of the writers, dancers, actors and other artists, most scientists above the technician-troll level, computer freaks, and the righteous dope-dealers of California.

You know, I have found a new way to get high and stay spaced out for hours on end, and the government can't stop me... It's called senility.

The Fundamentalist Christians have told me that I am a slave of Satan and should have my demons expelled with an exorcism. The Fundamentalist Materialists inform me that I am a liar, charlatan, fraud and scoundrel. Aside from this minor difference, the letters are astoundingly similar. Both groups share the same crusading zeal and the same lack of humor, charity and common human decency. These intolerable cults have served to confirm me in my agnosticism by presenting further evidence to support my contention that when dogma enters the brain, all intellectual activity ceases.

...an optimistic mind-set finds dozens of possible solutions for every problem that the pessimist regards as incurable.

Once something becomes discernible, or understandable, we no longer need to repeat it. We can destroy it.

The Grail is the womb of the beloved.
