“If something is going to happen to me, I want to be there.”

“When we meet somebody whose separate tunnel-reality is obviously far different from ours, we are a bit frightened and always disoriented. We tend to think they are mad, or that they are crooks trying to con us in some way, or that they are hoaxers playing a joke. Yet it is neurologically obvious that no two brains have the same genetically-programmed hard wiring, the same imprints, the same conditioning, the same learning experiences. We are all living in separate realities. That is why communication fails so often, and misunderstandings and resentments are so common. I say "meow" and you say "Bow-wow," and each of us is convinced the other is a bit dumb.”

“Ihr müßt an die absolute und endgültige Macht des Willens glauben, den man mit unerbittlicher Disziplin trainieren und verstärken muß,bis er aus unseren Nervenzentren schießt und sich mit unvorstellbarer Kraft und Geschwindigkeit über die Grenzen unserer Muskeln hinwegsetzt. Unser Wille muß aus uns heraustreten, um sich der Materie zu bemächtigen und sie nach unserem Belieben zu verändern. Auf diese Weise können wir alles, was uns umgibt, formen und endlos das Antlitz der Welt erneuern.”
