"Songs can be Trojan horses, taking charged ideas and sneaking past the ego's defenses and into the open mind."

Previous Quote

If you are well off and can afford to spend ten or twenty-five dollars a day to hire some patient soul to listen to your troubles you can be readjusted to the crazy scheme of things and spare yourself the humiliation of becoming a Christian Scientist. You can have your ego trimmed or removed, as you wish, just like a wart or bunion.

— Henry Miller
