She glanced at him over the rim of the cup, her eyes smiling. "What I meant was, you are the adventure.”

“PAVILIONS OF SUN"
Swans do fly
High above you
All the time
Prince of Sun
From his pavilion
Makes you shine
Come, come, come into my garden, lady love
Maybe I can hold your gold hand
Glide within my gold grove, lady love
Know the earth and you'll understand”

“Pavlov formulated his findings into a general rule in which the speed of learning positively correlated with quiet isolation. The totalitarians have followed this rule. They know they can condition their political victims most quickly if they are kept in isolation. In the totalitarian technique of thought control, the same isolation applied to the individual is applied also to the groups of people. This is the reason the civilian populations of the totalitarian countries are not permitted to travel freely and are kept away from mental and political contamination. It is the reason, to, for the solitary confinement cell and the prison camp.”

“Pavlov’s dogs will drool at the site of any food,
So go ahead and ring the bell,
Sing a classical song about it and
Then advertises what sells”
“Pavlov's Monkeys (Sonnet 2608)
I'm a brain scientist,
I know more about human instincts,
than the humans do themselves,
yet one thing still puzzles me -
how can people be so repulsed at the nazis,
yet be so stupidly unabashed about
the british empire and the american pilgrims,
with a criminal record hundred times bloodier!
You feel quite at home, proud even,
when you hear, 'the British were civilizers,
the Americans were pioneers,'
yet if I say one positive word about the nazis,
suddenly your blood boils like circus-trained dogs!
It's good, your blood should boil,
your blood should boil at the
very idea of hate and persecution,
but what kind of a prehistoric orangutan
cherrypicks which persecution to be mad at,
based on the color of skin or place of birth!”

“Pavlov was fascinated with “ideas of the opposite.” Call it a cluster of cells, somewhere on the cortex of the brain. Helping to distinguish pleasure from pain, light from dark, dominance from submission…. But when, somehow—starve them, traumatize, shock, castrate them, send them over into one of the transmarginal phases, past borders of their waking selves, past “equivalent” and “paradoxical” phases—you weaken this idea of the opposite, and here all at once is the paranoid patient who would be master, yet now feels himself a slave… who would be loved, but suffers his world’s indifference, and, “I think,” Pavlov writing to Janet, “it is precisely the ultraparadoxical phase which is the base of the weakening of the idea of the opposite in our patients.” Our madmen, our paranoid, maniac, schizoid, morally imbecile—”

“Pavlov's findings were that some animals learned more quickly if rewarded (by affection, by food, by stroking) each time they showed the right response, while others learned more quickly when the penalty for not learning was a painful stimulus.”
“Pavėlintąjį vasarojų seka piktžolės. Už ką jas pravardžiuoja "piktžolėmis", kad jos tokios pat žolės, kaip ir kitos? Dažnai gal dar naudingesnės, tik žmogus dar nemoka jomis pasinaudot ir, savo papratimu, ne save nupeikia, tik tai, ko jis netesi. Mes pykstame and piktžolių, kam jos tokios vislios. Argi tai ne kvaila? Argi vislumas - eibė? Tai pavyzdys, kaip reikia gyventi, kad išliktumei. Pačios sau paliktos, nesumaningo ar neapsukraus žmogaus "neglobojamos".”

“Paxton choked on the tears that were gushing uncontrollably down his face. “This feels... a lot like falling,” he let out through his gasps for air.
