Salman Rushdie
“Trapped inside a metaphor, I've often felt the need to re-describe it, to change the terms. This isn't so much a balloon, I've wanted to say, as a bubble within which I'm simultaneously exposed and sealed off.... depriving me of reality, reducing me to an abstraction....
[NY, Dec. 1991; Columbia Graduate School Of Journalism Speech]”
― Salmon Rushdie

Dorothy Parker
“If you want to know what God thinks of money, just look at the people he gave it to.”
― Dorothy Parker

“The inner, subtle essences can be contemplated only by sucking, not by knowing. [p. xxix]”
― Daniel Matt
tags: zohar

William  James
“...the faith state...is the psychic correlate of a biological growth reducing contending-desires to one direction... [p.272]”
― William James

Dorothy Parker
“Don't look at me in that tone of voice.”
― Dorothy Parker
