Betrayal is terribly painful — God save me from my friends. I can protect myself from my enemies.

Betrayal is a form of ecstasy — anyone who hasn't experienced the ecstasy of betrayal knows nothing about ecstasy at all.

Betrayal is the deepest wound. It is what remains of love, when love has gone.

Betrayal is the only truth that sticks.

The Chair is necessarily uncomfortable — we're about to enter the age of flight before we've even developed a chair that a man can sit in comfortably

A Chair is stilts for your butt.

A Chair is one big body crutch.

The Chair is anti-gravity machine.

Criticism is toothless. If it had any real power to harm, the skunk would have been extinct by now.

Criticism is showing the object of criticism as beautiful, as magnificent. One has to love what they criticize and give it a new beauty, as 'good destruction requires love'.

Criticism is not denunciation, but working your way back to those problems which an author of genius has posed, all the way back to that which he does not say in what he says, in order to extract something that still belongs to him, though you also turn it against him.

Criticism is best ignored — If it's untrue, disregard it; if it's unfair, keep from irritation; if it's ignorant, smile; if it's justified, learn from it.
