"The antidote to hubris, to overweening pride, is irony, that capacity to discover and systematize ideas.  Or, as Emerson insisted, the development of consciousness, consciousness, consciousness." ~ Ralph Ellison

"I'm a word man.  See, there's this theory about the nature of tragedy,  that Aristotle didn't mean catharsis for the audience but a purgation of the emotions of the actors them selves.  The audience is just a witness to the event that takes place on stage."  Jim Morrison

avoidance: deliberately avoiding; keeping away from or preventing from happening

Quote from the Handbook Revivals

He is afraid the shame will outlive him - Kafka

 

I never knew this could happen to me
I know now fragility
I know there's people who I haven't told
I know of people who are getting old

Wish I could speak in just one sweep
What you are and what you mean to me
Instead I mumble randomly
You stand by and enlighten me

In a dream I lost my teeth again
Calling me woman and half man
Yes in a dream all my teeth fell out
A cracked smile and a silent shout
A cracked smile and a silent shout

If I explain it once thoroughly
He'll have you later 'cause it's never free
You were at the gigantic spree
I caught a glimpse now it haunts me
I caught a glimpse now it haunts me  

The Knife ~ Silent Shout
