“There is simply no problem of life; it is absolutely purposeless play; it doesn't have to continue; there is no reason whatever to explain it, for explanations are just another form of complexity, a new manifestation of life on top of life, gestures gesturing. If there is any problem at all it is to find out how people come to think there is a problem, whatever made them imagine that life is serious. Basically there is the gesture. Time, space, multiplicity are all complications of it. Pain and suffering are very far-out forms of play, and there just isn't anything at all to be afraid of. There isn't any ego. The ego is a kind of flip, knowing that you know — like being afraid of being afraid. It's a curlicue, an extra jazz to things, a sort of double take or reverberation, a dithering of consciousness which is the same as anxiety.”

“Die Menschen wissen nicht, dass sie Bücher haben wollen. Ich brauche Sie nur anzusehen, um zu erkennen, dass Ihre Seele krank ist, weil sie der Lektüre entbehrt, aber zum Glück sind Sie sich dessen nicht bewusst. Die Menschen gehen erst dann zu einem Buchhändler, wenn sie nach einem schweren Unfall ihrer Seele oder durch Krankheit die Gefahr erkennen. Dann kommen sie hierher. Würde ich Werbung machen, wäre das etwa so sinnvoll, als würde man kerngesunde Menschen zum Arzt schicken.”
