[...] You were the man who experimented with color, as applied however to sculpts. [...]

[...] Collect pages and reams of such material if it suits your fancy — and I am speaking not only to you, or to Ruburt, but to anyone who hopes to find a hint of truth, peace of mind, or creativity.

[...] To whatever degree, the condemning, critical material too often becomes self-prophesying — for those who put merit on it (loudly) allow it to cloud their reactions.

(Loudly:) There are those who make careers of condemning the faults and failings of others, or of the species itself, and because of that attitude man’s great energy and good intent remain invisible. [...]

[...] There have been bloody wars fought on the same account, and private persecutions in which those who did not agree with one or another’s religious dogmas were quite simply killed “for the good of their souls.”

[...] Animals, for example, could not imagine such an idiocy, so that the theory shows the incredible accomplishment of an obviously ordered mind and intellect that can imagine itself to be the result of nonorder, or chaos — [you have] a creature who is capable of “mapping” its own brain, imagining that the brain’s fantastic regulated order could emerge from a reality that itself has no meaning.

[...] If time (as much as 40 days) did elapse between Christ’s resurrection and ascension, where was he physically during all of that period, other than on the few occasions cited in the Gospels and in Acts, when on various occasions he revealed himself to the women who discovered his empty tomb, to the apostles, and to some others?

[...] Who, for example, imagines that an idea is alive in his elbow, or knee, or toe?

[...] That it is good and that those who told it anything else were in grave error. [...]

All systems of reality are created, or constructed, by those who perceive the system. Those who do not construct a system cannot perceive it. [...]

[...] Those who survived reacted in the old fashion, sweating to build again, refusing better shelter, but the times had indeed changed. [...]

[...] People who were unusually intelligent were suspect, and did not fit in. [...]

(This afternoon Jane had some very good insights as to why we had taken in the kitten, Parmesan – who, incidentally, is now gone to the parents of friends, etc.)

[...] You both often criticize those who are overweight, emphasizing in your minds and feelings the lack of control this implies to you, the overindulgence. [...]

[...] It is only the ego who makes other distinctions.

[...] Those who are cured are at a certain state when they approach the author, as mentioned earlier, feeling helpless after medical treatments that did not work—feeling that there is something wrong with them. [...]

[...] And many who are cured, of course, come down with other conditions if they have not succeeded in identifying their own fears sufficiently with the author’s.
