My 96 yr old auntie Jenny wrote:
1. When one door closes and another door opens, you are probably in prison.
2. To me, "drink responsibly" means don't spill it.
3. Age 60 might be the new 40, but 9:00 pm is the new midnight.
4. It's the start of a brand new day, and I'm off like a herd of turtles.
5. The older I get, the earlier it gets late.
6. When I say, "The other day," I could be referring to any time between yesterday and 15 years ago.
7. I remember being able to get up without making sound effects.
8. I had my patience tested. I'm negative.
9. Remember, if you lose a sock in the dryer, it comes back as a Tupperware lid that doesn't fit any of your containers.
10. If you're sitting in public and a stranger takes the seat next to you, just stare straight ahead and say, "Did you bring the money?"
11. When you ask me what I am doing today and I say "nothing," it does not mean I am free. It means I am doing nothing.
12. I finally got eight hours of sleep. It took me three days, but whatever.
13. I run like the winded.
14. I hate when a couple argues in public and I missed the beginning and don't know whose side I'm on.
15. When someone asks what I did over the weekend, I squint and ask, "Why, what did you hear?"
16. When you do squats are your knees supposed to sound like a goat chewing on an aluminum can stuffed with celery?
17. I don't mean to interrupt people. I just randomly remember things and get really excited.
18. My luck is like a bald guy who just won a comb.
19. When I ask for directions, please don't use words like "East."
20. Don't bother walking a mile in my shoes. That would be boring. Spend 30 seconds in my head. That'll freak you right out.
21. Sometimes, someone unexpected comes into your life out of nowhere, makes your heart race, and changes you forever. We call those people cops.

Have you ever wondered why the slang terms for intoxication are so demolition-oriented? Stoned, smashed, hammered. It’s because they’re talking about the Ego. It’s the Ego that gets blasted, waxed, plastered. We demolish the Ego to get to the Self.

Wherein lies The Parents' Magic Power to Bind Their Children to Themselves, as with iron fetters, often for the Whole of their Lives? The Psychoanalyst knows that it is Nothing but The Sexuality on Both Sides. We are always trying not to admit The Child's Sexuality. That View only comes from Wilful Ignorance, which happens to be very prevalent again just now.

The parents can and unfortunately only too often do fortify the evil in the child's soul, preying upon the child's ignorance to make him the slave of their complexes... I knew of one Father who wanted to keep his daughter and make her his slave. What he did is but a crass exaggeration of what is done by thousands of so-called respectable, educated people, who have their own share in this educational dust-heap of enforced discipline.
The fathers who allow their children no independent possession of their own emotions, who fondle their daughters with ill-concealed eroticism and tyrannical passion, who keep their sons in leading-strings, force them into callings and finally marry them off "suitably," and the mothers who even in the cradle excite their children with unhealthy tenderness to make them into slavish puppets, and then at last, out of jealousy, destroy their children's love-life fundamentally...

The tendency of the instinct to destroy all is regulated by the power of individuation. Inner division cannot exist without the spirit. Nature and psyche combine in constantly shifting archetypal patterns to create the self - center of western sacrilege and materialistic excess.

Civil Rights end where personal freedoms begin. The first chance a man is given to act as he wants, human rights disapear. To live in a society of reckless materialism, one must make the common man believe he is the highest authority despite all evidence to the contrary.

“The act of staring is a thing which one does not ordinarily do to another human being; it seems to put the object stared at in a class apart. One does not talk to a monkey in a zoo, or to a freak in a sideshow— one only stares.” ― Erving Goffman, Behavior in Public Places: Notes on the Social Organization of Gatherings

 54. The true nature of things is to be known personally , through the eyes of clear illumination and not through a sage : what the moon exactly is , is to be known with one's own eyes ; can another make him know it?

You are the author of an ongoing story you tell yourself. In your story everything is about you, and it has to be that way because you are the center of your perception. The story is told from your point of view.
You create an image for the secondary characters in your story, and you assign them a roll to play. The only thing you know about the secondary characters is the stories you create about them. The truth is that you don't know anyone, and nobody know you either.
