• Results only come to those who master the paradoxical art of doing and not doing, of letting go as a person in order that the immanent and transcendent unknown quantity may take hold.

• Those who know how close the connection is between the state of mind of a man-his courage and hope, or lack of them-and the state of immunity of his body will understand that the sudden loss of hope and courage can have a deadly effect.

• For they told you life is hard
  Misery from the start,
  It's dull, it's slow, it's painful
  But I tell you life is sweet
  In spite of the misery
  There's so much more, be grateful
  So, who will you believe
  Who will you listen to
  Who will it be
  'Cause it's high time that you decide
  It's time to make up your own
  Your own state of mind
  Oh they told you life is long
  Be thankful when it's done
  Don't ask for more, be grateful
  But I tell you life is short
  Be thankful because
  Before you know it
  It will be over
  'Cause life is sweet, life is also very short

  Natalie Merchant

• Presumably there are energies, to which each human is sensitive, that we cannot yet detect by means of our instruments. Built into our brains and our bodies are very sensitive tuneable receivers for energies that we do not yet know about in our science but that each one of us can detect under the proper circumstances and the proper state of mind. We can tune our nervous systems and bodies to receive these energies. We can also tune our brains and bodies to transmit these energies.

• Speech, tennis, music, skiing, manners, love- you try them waking and perhaps balk at the jump, and then you're over. You've caught the rhythm of them once and for all, in your sleep at night. The city, of course, can wreck it. So much insomnia. So many rhythms collide. The salesgirl, the landlord, the guests, the bystanders, sixteen varieties of social circumstance in a day. Everyone has the power to call your whole life into question here. Too many people have access to your state of mind. Some people are indifferent to dislike, even relish it. Hardly anyone I know.

The entitlement state of mind has created a nation that looks to the government for the answer to our problems, when the only answer is, "Our Father which art in heaven."
