"Wonders amaze me. They can aim wanderlessly in any forest, be it of dark trees or lighted bushes. And apparently, as per what I've heard, they can buy stuff that's on sale, but only if and when they feel wonderfully wonderful. Because otherwise they wouldn't really be themselves, which would be a problem for them, because if they aren't what they are - they can't exist, and if they don't exist " that makes them invisible and silent to all the wandering people, who may or may not be looking for them to sell themselves to."
"The boy looks into Mugwump eyes blank as obsidian mirrors, pools of black blood, glory holes in a toilet wall closing on the Last Erection."
"To his shock, as Saarang turned the first page, the words slowly transformed into small cylinders, except for one-letter words which preferred being spheres, and started rolling toward the vertical edges of the book."
"Instead of stubbornly attempting to use surrealism for purposes of subversion, it is necessary to try to make of surrealism something as solid, complete and classic as the works of museums."
"I murmur: "It's a seat," a little like an exorcism. But the word stays on my lips: it refuses to go and put itself on the thing. It stays what it is, with its red plush, thousands of little red paws in the air, all still, little dead paws. This enormous belly turned upward, bleeding, inflated-bloated with all its dead paws, this belly floating in this car, in this grey sky, is not a seat. It could just as well be a dead donkey tossed about in the water, floating with the current, belly in the air in a great grey river, a river of floods; and I could be sitting on the donkey's belly, my feet dangling in the clear water."
"I put tape on the mirrors in my house so I don't accidentally walk through into another dimension."
"Two Lesbian Agents with glazed faces of grafted penis flesh sat sipping spinal fluid through alabaster straws."
"I walk. I talk. I shop. I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out, and I don't sleep on a bed of bones."
"I think it was more personal, but I certainly tried to adapt certain concepts of Surrealism."
"There is a desert on the moon where the dreamer sinks so deeply into the ground that she reaches hell."

"I shall not commit the fashionable stupidity of regarding everything I cannot explain as a fraud. -Psychiatrist Dr. Carl Jung in a 1919 address to the Society for Psychical Research in England."
"The mind that is collectively orientated is quite incapable of thinking and feeling in any other way than by projection."

"But the shadow is merely somewhat inferior, primitive, unadapted, and awkward; not wholly bad. It even contains childish or primitive qualities which would in a way vitalize and embellish human existence, but convention forbids!"
"If you go to thinking take your heart with you. If you go to love, take your head with you. Love is empty without thinking, thinking hollow without love."
"I have frequently seen people become neurotic when they content themselves with inadequate or wrong answers to the questions of life. They seek position, marriage, reputation, outward success of money, and remain unhappy and neurotic even when they have attained what they were seeking. Such people are usually confined within too narrow a spiritual horizon. Their life has not sufficient content, sufficient meaning. If they are enabled to develop into more spacious personalities, the neurosis generally disappears."
"We often dream about people from whom we receive a letter by the next post. I have ascertained on several occasions that at the moment when the dream occurred the letter was already lying in the post-office of the addressee."
