"It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creed into law if it acquires the political power to do so, and will follow it by suppressing opposition, subverting all education to seize early the minds of the young, and by killing, locking up, or driving underground all heretics."

ANTHONY: You bought all that gas, and the needle didn't even move. Dad, you got jacked off!
ME: I got what?
ANTHONY: You got...
ME: Never mind. I heard what you said. You meant that I got ripped off. Jacked off means something different.
ANTHONY: Oh.

Conversation in my home, 4 November, 2005:
ANTHONY (age 13): Laurel, why don't you take down those pumpkins you made for Halloween and put up the concubines?
ME: What did you say, Anthony?
ANTHONY: Laurel still has the Halloween decorations up. For Thanksgiving, she needs to put up the concubines she drew.
ME: Concubines?
ANTHONY: Yeah! You know, those things that look like a long, pointed basket? They're always full of food, and they're all over the place for Thanksgiving.
ME: I think you mean a cornucopia.
ANTHONY: Yeah! A cornucopia!..........What's a concubine?

"Dylan would always say, 'What do you
think of this?' 'I didn't understand the thing at all but I loved it
so I said, 'Okay, I'm gonna figure this one out.' So I read it and
gave back my interpretation of what it was about and he said, 'That's
pretty f----n' good.' And he said 'Years from now all these people,
all these assholes, are going to be writing about all the shit I
write...and what it means.'"
