People Cannot Endure Inexplicable Worthlessness

A Man With A Credit Card Is In Hock To His Own Image Of Himself.

Now It Stands To Reason, Mister, Any Damn Fool Stares Into The Sun Long Enough, He'll End Up Seeing Exactly What Some Other Damn Fool Tells Him He's Going To See.

The Dividing Line [between Friends And Acquaintances] Is Communication, I Think. A Friend Is Someone To Whom You Can Say Any Jackass Thing That Enters Your Mind. With Acquaintances, You Are Forever Aware Of Their Slightly Unreal Image Of You, And To Keep Them Content, You Edit Yourself To Fit. Many Marriages Are Between Acquaintances. You Can Be With A Person For Three Hours Of Your Life And Have A Friend. Another Will Remain An Acquaintance For Thirty Years.

We Have Been Endowed With The Capacity And The Power To Create Desirable Pictures Within And To Find Them Automatically In The Outer World Of Our Environment.

Friendships, Like Marriages, Are Dependent On Avoiding The Unforgivable.
