• The hippie is the scion of surplus value. The dropout can only claim sanctity in a society which offers something to be dropped out of--career, ambition, conspicuous consumption. The effects of hippie sanctimony can only be felt in the context of others who plunder his lifestyle for what they find good or profitable, a process known as rip-off by the hippie, who will not see how savagely he has pillaged intricate and demanding civilizations for his own parodic lifestyle.

• Once a paper admits any principle of censorship for survival, the we-don't-want-to-do-it-but-we-don't-want-to-lose-the-printer kind of censorship, it jeopardizes the integrity of its editorial principle. It's better to print and be damned, because you'll be damned anyway.

• The first kiss ideally signals rapture, exchange of hearts, and imminent marriage. Otherwise it is a kiss that lies. All very crude and nonsensical, and yet it is the staple myth of hundreds of comics called 'Sweethearts,' 'Romantic Secrets' and so forth. The state induced by the kiss is actually self-induced, of course, for few lips are so gifted with electric and psychedelic possibilities.

• El elemento de masculinidad heroica siempre había estado presente en el concepto del artista como alguien que cabalga el caballo alado por encima de las nubes más allá de la vista de los hombres inferiores, un concepto que rara vez se aplicaba a quienes trabajaban con colores hasta el siglo XIX. Cuando se plantea la pregunta inevitable: "¿Por qué no hay grandes mujeres artistas?", es esta dimensión del arte la que está implícita. Los que preguntan saben poco de arte, pero conocen las siete maravillas del mundo de la pintura.
