The spectacle cannot be understood as an abuse of the world of vision, as a product of the techniques of mass dissemination of images. It is, rather, a Weltanschauung which has become actual, materially translated. It is a world vision which has become objectified. 6.

It seems so outrageous to think, as I physically hold my first book (of this series) in my hands, that I am touching my thoughts. It is equally amazing to realize that I am touching my feelings. I am touching my questions. I am touching my hopes and dreams. I am touching my perspectives, and I am touching the (sometimes intentional, sometimes unintentional) "mistakes". I am also touching my happiness.

I am touching my inner World. I am having a physical (outer) experience with my inner World. ~ Cheri Bauer

Such a use accords entirely with the essence and working character of LSD as a sacred drug. ~ Albert Hofmann

And I'm afraid it really is a jungle too," pursued the Consul, "in fact I expect Rousseau to come riding out of it at any moment on a tiger." "What's that?" Mr Quincey said, frowning in a manner that might have meant: And God never drinks before breakfast either.

How dare I presume to say: He is my friend, or even, more cautiously, I think I know him? At the very most we are like two strangers meeting in the white wintry veld and sitting down together for a while to smoke a pipe before proceeding on their separate ways. No more.

why do our hearts reach out and cling to each other, with no promise of anything in return?

They say: hope counts for something. They say: bravery will matter, wit will matter, empathy will matter, love will matter. These things may or may not be true. I do not know. I hope they are. ~ Katherine Rundell
