You pay for what you get, you own what you pay for... and sooner or later whatever you own comes back home to you.

Like some dogs: kick them once and they never trust you again, no matter how nice you are to them.

Rationalism is the idea that we can ever understand anything about the state of being. It's a deathtrip. It always has been. . . . And if rationalism is a deathtrip, then irrationalism might very well be a lifetrip . . . at least until it proves otherwise.
