  [this book...this freak of a book...i mean, i just cannot
  believe what i'm reading when what i'm reading is this book...]
  
  "'if a little walk's going to kill your
  desire, you might as well not have any
  from the beginning.'"
  
  
  
  "all of us are dreaming."
  
  
  
  "'but if you knew you might not be able to see it again tomorrow,
  everything would suddenly become special and precious, wouldn't
  it?'"
  
  
  
  "'the pure present is an ungraspable advance of the past devouring
  the future.  in truth, all sensation is already memory.'"
  
  
  
  "'...at the time i decided not to force myself to judge anything.  if
  the flow is there, i figured i'd just let it carry me along where it
  wanted.'"
  
  
  
  "...it felt pretty good to be walking around wherever he wanted in a
  place he'd never been before.  he always enjoyed walking anyway. 
  a marlboro between his lips, hands stuck in his pockets, he
  wandered from one main street to another and down various
  alleys...some parts were lively and crowded, others deserted and
  deathly quiet."
  
  
  
  "'hegel believed that a person is not merely conscious of self and
  object as separate entities, but through the projection of the self
  via the mediation of the object is volitionally able to gain a deeper
  understanding of the self.'"
  
  
  
  "'my grandpa used to say that things never work out like you think
  they will, but that's what makes life interesting, and that makes
  sense.'"
  
  
  
  "people need a place they can go back to.  there's still time to
  make it, i think.  for me, and for you."
