- The Myth of Sacred Prostitution in Antiquity
- “All human life is sunk deep in untruth, including my own human life. My very existence has its foundations in lies and errors; that is to say, the ‘customs’ of my family and my upbringing have their foundation in lies, errors, and superstitions.”
- “Well, I developed that simple Great Idea and came to New York with the results of it. I went straight to the office of Vanity Fair, and, lo, great was my reward! The editor and I tried out a few hands at double dummy. He liked the game at once, and summoned to our aid that noted authority on every game from Scat to Poker, Mr. R. F. Foster. Mr. Foster also liked the game, and has worked at the theory of it pretty steadily ever since, He has introduced it to certain of the leading card clubs, and has even crystallized my crude idea into a pamphlet of official rules.”
- “Pons are usually not planned in advance. You may, however, choose to place yourself where there are more opportunities for pons. There are times when it would be appropriate to plan a pon in advance.”
- “You may also be surprised to find that some of the things you write on the list will actually come to pass, almost without your making any conscious effort to make them happen. If you acknowledge the power of the imagination to foster changes in perception and performance, it’s easy to see how having a Someday/Maybe list out in front of your conscious mind could potentially add many wonderful adventures to your life and work. We’re likely to seize opportunities when they arise if we’ve already identified and captured them as a possibility.”
