“When I swore at my father and he brandished his big belt, he thought he was beating all the contempt and all the defiance out of me. He only beat it farther in. They told me they were going to have me put in a home, but I didn’t know what a home was and I wasn’t afraid. They invented new cruelties, and I invented new worlds their cruelties couldn’t reach.”
― Barry Graham, The Book of Man

“Imagine you’re at a movie, and the person sitting in front of you is so huge and fat you can’t see the screen because he’s completely blocking your view. He’s also talking loudly, so you can’t hear the movie.

That person is you. You can’t see the perfection of your life, as it is right now, because you’re in your own way.”
― Barry Graham, Kill Your Self: Life After Ego
