“Existuje ještě jeden další rozdíl mezi logikou zjevného a skrytého vyprávění. Ve zjevném vyprávění existuje logická kauzální souvislost mezi vnějšími událostmi. Jonáš chce plout přes moře, protože chce utéci před Bohem, usne, protože je unaven, je vržen přes palubu, protože je považován za příčinu bouře a je pozřen rybou, protože se v moři vyskytují dravé ryby. Jedna událost vyplývá z předcházející. (Poslední část příběhu je sice nerealistická, ale nikoliv nelogická.) Ve skrytém příběhu naproti tomu vládne jiný druh logiky. Různé události jsou asociací spojeny se stejným vnitřním zážitkem. To, co se jeví jako kauzální posloupnost vnějších událostí, vlastně zastupuje spojení zážitků propojených jako události vnitřní. Je to právě tak logické, jako je logický zjevný příběh, ale jede tu o jiný druh logiky.”

“Existují domácí bohové a naše každodenní práce je způsobem, jak projevit uznání těmto domácím duchům, kteří jsou pro udržení našeho života tak důležití. Rýžák je pak posvátným předmětem, a když tento nástroj užíváme s péčí, děláme něco pro duši. V tomto smyslu je čištění koupelny určitým druhem terapie, protože existuje vzájemnost mezi skutečnou místností a jistou komnatou v srdci. Koupelna, která se objevuje v našich snech, je zároveň pokojem našeho domu i poetickým objektem, který popisuje prostor v duši.”

“existía una maldad en el universo que conspiraba contra el ser humano, que lo lanzaba a una enorme fosa común ante una deidad que gozaba del festín de la desgracia. Y he aquí el gran fallo, el error de suponer siempre que los dioses eran amables, seres que crearon vida por amor a esta. No, no eran así. Eran semejantes a niños malcriados que lanzaban azúcar para atraer a hormigas a las que después quemar con una lupa bajo el sol.”

“Există două viziuni concurente asupra regulilor impuse de stat. Prima zice că iniţial a existat piaţa liberă, după care a apărut necesitatea de a interveni acolo unde un arbitru terţ este inevitabil. Alta zice că arbitrul există în virtutea faptului că el deţine puterea. Ştie să se impună şi se impune pentru a extrage beneficii. Lasă piaţa să funcţioneze cât de cât liber doar în măsura ca să genereze valoarea pe care urmează să o taxeze. Este exact feudalul din întunecatul Ev care are castel, pod şi armură şi oricine îi traversează regatul trebuie să plătească tribut.”

“Există momente când eşti „mai puţin decât tine însuţi" şi mai puţin decât orice. Mai puţin decât un obiect pe care îl priveşti, mai puţin decât un scaun, decât o masă şi decât o bucată de lemn. Eşti dedesubtul lucrurilor, în subsolul realităţii, sub viaţa ta proprie şi sub ceea ce se întâmplă în jur... Eşti o formă mai efemeră şi mai destrămată decât a elementarei materii imobile. Ţi-ar trebui atunci un efort imens ca să înţelegi inerţia simplă a pietrelor şi zaci abolit, redus la „mai puţin decât tine însuţi" în imposibilitatea de a face acel efort.”

“Exiting the building, we shield our eyes with our hands and raise our voices. The wind has really picked up and is sending dirt, dust and debris airborne. A few windblown pedestrians, struggling to walk down the sidewalk, appear as though they might get blown away. I ask Tiger where he wants to go. "ANYWHERE…I DON'T CARE. AS LONG AS IT'S NOT FAR." "LET'S GRAB A CAB. WE CAN'T WALK IN THIS." As I open the backdoor of a Yellow Cab parked at the curb, the cabbie turns and gives me a mean look. "Are you the Floro's?" he asked. Tiger follows me into the backseat, as I answer- That we are. Tiger asked, "And you are?" The cabbie grunts- "ALEXANDER the fuck'n GREAT.”

“Exodus is a very large organization. My board of directors is supportive of me as the president of Exodus and are very much involved in my decision-making and those types of things. They're a wonderful and balanced group of people and I'm grateful for their support. Within the membership we have 270 or so members within the network of Exodus whether that's a local member ministry, a counselor or one of our members of our church association.”

“Exorcists always need to distinguish demonic possessions from mental or psychiatric disorders, and they use three symptoms to identify people as possessed. First, those people have the ability to see hidden sacred objects, which they always want removed. Second, they have an extraordinary physical strength. And third, they show an aversion to the sacred”

“Exoteric machines - esoteric machines. They say the computer is an improved form of typewriter. Not a bit of it. I collude with my typewriter, but the relationship is otherwise clear and distant. I know it is a machine; it knows it is a machine. There is nothing here of the interface, verging on biological confusion, between a computer thinking it is a brain and me thinking I am a computer. The same familiarity with good old television, where I was and remained a spectator. It was an esoteric machine, whose status as machine I respected. Nothing there of all these screens and interactive devices, including the 'smart' car of the future and the 'smart' house. Even the mobile phone, that incrustation of the network in your head, even the skateboard and rollerblades - mobility aids - are of a quite different generation from the good old static telephone or the velocipedic machine. New manners and a new morality are emerging as a result of this organic confusion between man and his prostheses - a confusion which puts an end to the instrumental pact and the integrity of the machine itself.”

“Exoticism is the acute and immediate perception of an eternal incomprehensibility. What triumphs, then, is not the rule of difference and lack of differentiation but instead an eternal incomprehensibility, the irreducible foreignness of cultures, manners, faces, languages. If savour increases as a function of difference, what could be more savoury than the antagonism of irreducibles, the clash of eternal contrasts? The irredeemability of the object: 'The essential exoticism is that which the Object has for the Subject.' Exoticism as the fundamental law of the intensity of sensations, of the exaltation of the senses, and thus of living itself ...”
