Bad Bag
"It's a bad bag, reporting," [Gary] Snyder mused. "Somehow I don't think it's possible to be in that bag and get anywhere spiritually speaking."

Synchronicity
Sat in my office re-reading Philip K. Dick's Ubik. Jay comes in and looks around; notices a coffee cup on my desk.
"Remember when you grew that mould on the coffee you left in a cup, all that white furry stuff? You should do that again, I liked that."
I agree and return to my book. The very next paragraph I read starts:
'Joe picked up the coffee cup, and found the coffee cold, inert and ancient; a scummy mould covered the surface.'
Help.

Popcorn Superhet Receiver
"Popcorn Superhet Receiver — its title taken from a shortwave radio catalog — is an exploration of ’white noise’, a form of electronic noise that embraces every audible frequency and can sound like hissing or static. In its purest form, all frequencies are heard at the same intensity, but Mr. Greenwood takes artistic license: even when the chords are at their densest, melodies emerge as the strings change pitches."

Two things
"I forget who it was that recommended men for their soul’s good to do each day two things they disliked. . . . It is a precept I have followed scrupulously: for every day I have got up and I have gone to bed."

Less
What the world needs now
