Tales of Ordinary Madness QUOTES

81 " „Какво вър­шиш сега?“- попита.
„Нищо. Нищо не мога да върша. От нищо не се интересувам.“
„Аз също. Ако беше жена, би могъл да ста­неш проститутка.“
„Не мисля, че бих могъл да пона­сям тесни кон­такти с тол­кова много непоз­нати. Умо­ри­телно е.“
„Прав си, умо­ри­телно е, всичко е уморително. "

83 " you never get a chance to explain to him that when a man puts that uniform on that he is the paid protector of things of the present time. he is here to see that things stay the way they are. if you like the way things are, then all cops are good cops. if you don’t like the way things are, then all cops are bad cops. "

85 " did you ever consider that lsd and color tv arrived for our consumption about the same time? here comes all this explorative color pounding, and what do we do? we outlaw one and fuck up the other. t.v., of course, is useless in present hands; there’s not much of a hell of an argument here. and I read where in a recent raid it was alleged that an agent caught a container of acid in the face, hurled by alleged manufacturer of a hallucinogenic drug. this is also a kind of a waste. there are some basic grounds for outlawing lsd, dmt, stp – it can take a man permanently out of his mind – but so can picking beets, or turning bolts for GM, or washing dishes or teaching English I at one of the local universities. if we outlawed everything that drove men mad, the whole social structure would drop out – marriage, the war, bus service, slaughterhouses, beekeeping, surgery, anything you can name. anything can drive men mad because society is built on false stilts. until we knock the whole bottom out and rebuild, the madhouses will remain overlooked.
