We'd just shared the last beer and slung the empty can out the window at a stop sign and were just waiting back to get the feel of the day, swimming in that kind of tasty drowsiness that comes over you after a day of going hard at something you enjoy doing -- half sunburned and half drunk and keeping awake only because you wanted to savor the taste as long as you could.

I would ... go up to the mailbox and sit in the grass, waiting. ... till it came to me one day there were women doing this with their lives, all over. there were women just waiting and waiting by mailboxes for one letter or another. i imagined me making this journey day after day and year after year, and my hair starting to go gray, and i thought, i was never made to go on like that. ... if there were woman all through life waiting, and women busy and not waiting, i knew which i had to be.

Taste governs every free - as opposed to rote - human response. nothing is more decisive. there is taste in people, visual taste, taste in emotion - and there is taste in acts, taste in morality. intelligence, as well, is really a kind of taste: taste in ideas.

What does it mean that i am in this endless universe, thinking that i'm a man sitting under the stars on the terrace of the earth, but actually empty and awake throughout the emptiness and awakedness of everything? it means that i'm empty and awake, that i know i'm empty and awake, and that there's no difference between me and anything else.

The discovery of the good taste of bad taste can be very liberating. the man who insists on high and serious pleasures is depriving himself of pleasure; he continually restricts what he can enjoy; in the constant exercise of his good taste he will eventually price himself out of the market, so to speak. here camp taste supervenes upon good taste as a daring and witty hedonism. it makes the man of good taste cheerful, where before he ran the risk of being chronically frustrated. it is good for the digestion.

Well, basically there are two sorts of opera," said nanny, who also had the true witch's ability to be confidently expert on the basis of no experience whatsoever. "there's your heavy opera, where basically people sing foreign and it goes like "oh oh oh, i am dyin', oh i am dyin', oh oh oh, that's what i'm doin'", and there's your light opera, where they sing in foreign and it basically goes "beer! beer! beer! beer! i like to drink lots of beer!", although sometimes they drink champagne instead. that's basically all of opera, reely.

A sign, or representamen, is something which stands to somebody for something in some respect or capacity. it addresses somebody,that is, creates in the mind of that person an equivalent sign, or perhaps a more developed sign. that sign which it creates i call the interpretant of the first sign. the sign stands for something, its object. it stands for that object, not in all respects, but in reference to a sort of idea, which i have sometimes called the ground of the representamen.
