“Part of the unknown reality, then, is hidden beneath language and the enforced pattern of accustomed words-so, for an exercise, look about your environment. Make up new, different 'words' for the objects that you see about you. Pick up any object, for example. Hold it for a few seconds, feel its texture, look at its color, and spontaneously give it a new name by uttering the sounds that come into your mind. See how the sounds bring out certain aspects of the object that you may not have noticed before. The new word will fit as much as the old one did. It may, in fact, fit better. Do this with many objects, following the same procedure. You can instead say the name of any object backwards. In such ways you break up to some extent the automatic patterning of familiar phrases, so that you can perceive the individuality that is within each object.”

Jane Roberts (1929–1984) American Writer

“Go away,
Give me a chance to miss you.
Say goodbye,
It'll make me want to kiss you.
I love you so
Much more when you're not here,
Watchin all the bad shows,
Drinking all of my beer.I don't believe Adam and Eve
Spent every goddamn day together.
If you give me some room, there will be room enough for two.”

Pink (singer) (1979) American singer-songwriter

Leave Me Alone, written by Pink and Butch Walker
Song lyrics, I'm Not Dead (2006)

“It does seem so pleasant to talk with an old acquaintance who knows what you know. I see so many new folks nowadays who seem to have neither past nor future. Conversation has got to have some root in the past, or else you have got to explain every remark you make, and it wears a person out.”

Sarah Orne Jewett (1849–1909) American novelist, short story writer and poet

As quoted in Reader's Digest Vol. 130 (1987)

“You can live to be a hundred if you give up all the things that make you want to live to be a hundred.”

Woody Allen (1935) American screenwriter, director, actor, comedian, author, playwright, and musician

“You have to put up some kind of a beef. Scream or holler or scratch or make some sound that you’re alive and can fight.”

“"Hang on a second—you already have my old laptop. Why do you want my new drives so badly?"
"Because my contract says I have to write a book, and it's much easier just to steal your life than to make something up."”

Douglas Coupland book JPod
