If you're satisfied with where you live now,
never talk to anybody other than your neighbors.

 

There was once a man who believed that
the only way to become conscious
in a totally new way was to
swallow your own head.
(And even if you don't believe that,
you've still gotta agree that it'd work.)

 

A man consistently deliberate doesn't have to be
constantly serious.
There is a particular way to "hold on" by "letting go."
...(Oh!)

Another striking distinction between ordinary, everyday people and those
involved in the great, secret transcendental search is that the former's
thinking is a one hundred percent waste of time, while the latter's is only,
maybe, ninety-nine percent or so.

(Only within the confines of a locked room can a cannibal receive
adequate nourishment via self-consumption.)

To himself, one man one day said, "Even if there is no enlightenment,
at least there is the struggle therefore."
...Then asked himself if he was consoled thereby.

One man's trying to develop this idea that
"pumpkins can't think –
it's the sloshing around of the pumpkin juice in there
that gives such an impression."
