“A rusty bolt is the most difficult to withdraw; but once removed, though replaced, it will never hold securely.”

“Illusions connected with religion are generally most difficult to remove.”

“Never far removed from the progressive consciousness was a question that was never easily answered: of what value was it to punish offending Democrats, if one merely replaced them with infinitely more retrograde Republicans?”

“Sometimes the darkest challenges, the most difficult lessons, hold the greates gems of light.”

“Everything is there but there are no parts. Since there are no parts there's no need to replace one thing with another. No need to remove anything or add anything. You don't have to think about difficult things just let yourself soak it all in. For Nakata nothing could be better.”

“Sink every impulse like a bolt. Secure The bastion of sensation. Do not waver Into language. Do not waver in it.”
