"It is the very mind itself
That leads the mind astray;
Of the mind,
Do not be mindless."

Page 35: jumbled on the inside




How much of what we are depends so little on what we look like or our own self perception, but rather what we have done that is worthwhile. Among Buddha's last words were: "Everything that comes together ends by falling apart. Work out your own freedom."

You must first be able to see through something to see it at all, and when you can do that, you are not separate from it anymore.

“The work is a statement of my identity; it is a by-product of my sensitivity of a certain time and space. In my work I deal with realities, these are of my own choice and are never one, or exist alone. Some qualities strove for are concept, vitality and variability of visual focus. My vision is not generalized by deals with my concepts and experiences. The work reflects these, but with the promise-always the promise. Making art is the justification for my being. For whom do I make it? For those who approach it for a process of sensitivity and personal growth.” - Steve Perucca

Page 31: Black Magic Man

"That old black magic has me in its spell, that old black magic that you weave so well.
Those icy fingers up and down my spine
That same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine.
The same old tingle that I feel inside, and then that elevator starts its ride
And down and down I go, round and round I go, like a leaf that's caught in the tide.
I should stay away, but what can I do"

A cyborg is half human and half robot, and if you don't believe they exist in Ohio, go to any mall.

A man can tell his story simply by showing you his hands. How hard he fought, how hard he worked, maybe even how long he'll live. But a man with his hands in his pockets, that is a man with a stained past, a man with something to lose worth hiding. And when those hands come out, they aint coming out to help.

"I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times." It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach. He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.”

“We're not here to leave a mark, bro. Monuments, legacies, marks - that's where we always go wrong. We're here to revel in the world, to soak in the awesomeness of it, to enjoy the ride. The world's maximum perfect as it is, beauty from horizon to horizon. Any mark any of us tries to leave - hell, it's only graffitti. Any mark anyone leaves is no better than vandalism.”
-Dean Koontz
