2.1 hinking in Images
We live in a world surrounded by pictures. We feel like we don't know a naked woman until someone shows us a picture of her. This is bacuse the cinema has partly replaced conceptual thinking with "thinking in images". It was not possible before the pictures began to move, because normal people (i.e. those, who are not zen monks) think moving thoughts.

How can words be wise? I'm sure they've never been tested on their intelligence.

It's ridiculous to "test" anything, if we've already decided to end up with results we want to believe in.

If you were offered a burger from an unreliable sauce would you sniff it before eating it?

Yeah okay - too tenuous a connection. Source of course. But would you - wouldn't you test it first?

Sure. But how would I know that the taste and the scent match unless I tasted it?

Scent is usually (okay not always) a great key to taste.

Could I taste the hamburger to find out what it smells like?

You learn a lot more about life by reading composer biographies than you would by meeting random people.

You can't truly win at life- you're always behind, whether it's 6-5 or 10-1, the trick is to not be behind by much and not mind it.

It's better to be behind than to have someone behind you.

No matter how far, you'll always smell the farts and see the butt in the distance!

What if the butt is in outer space and you haven't got a telescope or anything?

^ he will slow down a bit when he's too far in front of you, so you'll always be close to him.
