I used to feel like I knew how to move through the world. That ease slipped away and lately I’ve just felt awkward. I really love this passage: “Only with wide-awake adaptability and the living pliableness of a human being—movement—will you connect with yourself and give others a way to connect with you…stop playing the dead body, feel present and alive. Laughter shakes us out of our deadness.”

"Strong emotions, although sometimes painful and confusing, make us feel alive. If we suppress them to avert unpleasant sensations -or to avoid inducing them in others- we become detached from our interiors, and a sense of falsity or deadness ensues."

I was today years old when I learned that Monopoly originally had two versions, one of which was the current monopolist game and the other had anti-monopolist rules but that one didn't survive since it was less desirable in capitalist society

"The greater the bystander's expression of pleasure, the greater the ability of the aggressor to disguise his aggression." This whole section about aggression disguised as humor really makes me remember the numerous instances in school where some boy said sth. incredibly mean and disrespectful that wasn't funny in the slightest, only to make fun of you for not getting that it's "just a joke" when you confront him
