If you seek anything
that you can't touch
you're simply chasing a name.

...(Hey, if there were any exceptions to this I'd a'said so!)

"Daddy, when I grow up can I be an exception?"
"No, son, but you can be a silent sweet potato."
"But they're not exceptions, they're extremely plain."
"Yes, but they're silent and they're sweet."
"Oh! -- Okay, Daddy, I get what you mean."
"That's good, son." "Now run along and pretend to grow up."
"Thank you, Daddy."

One man studied himself spiritually --
then studied himself psychologically --
then studied himself sociologically --
then studied himself physiologically –
then finally decided that he'd either studied himself completely out,
or that there'd never been anything there to study in the first place.
(This being based on the fact that all his studying of himself never produced
any useful results.)

It's one thing to be lost and confused, and one thing times ten thousand
To make yourself even loster and confuseder by trying to change the situation
while having no correct understanding of what the situation really is.
They are lost and confused who think themselves lost and confused.
...Don't ever say that the spot in the forest in which you circle is sans justice.
They remain lost and confused who think themselves lost and confused --
THINK themselves.

There is something in your brain that talks to you,
and something in your brain that makes you move.
There are also some other things in your brain that do
some other stuff that people normally take no account of.

One man had a pen of wild dogs, and among the dogs was a wizard lotion...
which he never noticed was there.

..."No loss known, no loss experienced, I always say," said a man on your behalf.
"That's the trouble with life," added another man, "someone else is always speaking for you,"
as he grimacingly rolled his eyes upward in his head,
as though indicating that he was referring to his own head.
