Tom Wolfe
:: The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test
"... once you've been through that door, you can't just keep going through it over and over again..."
"... somebody has to be the pioneer and leave the marks for others to follow ... you've got to have some faith in what you're trying to do. It's easy to have faith as long as it goes along with what you already know. But you've got to have faith in us all the way..."
"... We are all of us doomed to spend our lives watching a movie of our lives - we are always acting on what has just finished happening. It happened atleast 1/30th of a second ago. We think we're in the present, but we aren't."
"Sometimes we don't even realize what we really care about, because we get so distracted by the symbols."
