لقدْ كانَ المستشفى العام ( وهو مؤسسة ظهرت سنة 1661 م ) وفيه تجسد الحجز بامتياز ، كان سجنا وإصلاحيةً ومأوى ومارستاناً ، أي أداة قمع مثلى تقوم بكلِ شيء عدا العلاج . أَنشيءَ في بداية الأمر في فرنسا يأمرٍ ملكي ، لمحاربة العطالة والتسكع والتسول في الشوارع وعلى أبواب الكنائس ، ليصبح بعد ذلك غولا هائجا سرعان ما ابتلع في طريقه كل شيء . ابتلع كل الذين يوجدون على جنبات خط رفيع لا يرى رسمته المصالح الخاصة والعامة : "مصلحة العائلة " و " مصلحة المجتمع " ومصلحة الدولة ↗

Clinicians have told me that our emotional is arrested at the age that an eating disorder takes control of our lives. After we recover, we pick up emotionally where we left off at that age. ↗

And no wonder; for the new technique of "subliminal projection," as it was called, was intimately associated with mass entertainment, and in the life of civilized human beings massed entertainment now plays a part comparable to that played in the Middle Ages be religion. ↗

Real life is messy and hard and never turns out like I’ve imagined. Usually it’s better. So, I try not to dream but rather to pray. If there is one thing I know, it’s that I have no clue what I want. I’m fickle. I’m picky. And I’m scared of a lot of things. Especially commitment. ↗

You said, "I will go to another land, I will go to another sea. Another city will be found, better than this. Every effort of mine is condemned by fate; and my heart is-like a corpse-buried. How long in this wasteland will my mind remain. Wherever I turn my eyes, wherever I may look I see the black ruins of my life here, where I spent so many years, and ruined and wasted." New lands you will not find, you will not find other seas. The city will follow you. You will roam the same streets. And you will age in the same neighborhoods; in these same houses you will grow gray. Always you will arrive in this city. To another land-do not hope- there is no ship for you, there is no road. As you have ruined your life here in this little corner, you have destroyed it in the whole world.2 ↗

Love is like breakfast with Mildred. Who’s Mildred? How the heck should I know? I don’t eat breakfast.

I’m a fake fact factory. The things I make are the things I make up. Also, as a side business, I make love. Actually, I just made that up. ↗

We aren’t encouraged to think for ourselves and ask questions. We are expected to accept what they teach us as infallible truths. ↗

Who was it who said something about the Indians being argumentative, good soul, let him come to Haridwar and meet this bunch. Good for him too, if he adapts with age; for if after fifty you don't live the aspirations of the young, go away. Who needs spectacle snails salivating on the Soma of youth? ↗
