Quotes about perceptions, page 8
I'm not interested in trying to work on people's perceptions. I am who I am, and if you don't take the time to learn about that, then your perception is going to be your problem.

Talks
Are needed
With an open mind
Not prejudice
To distort perceptions
An ongoing story
Becomes open and shut.
Truth be known
We're not wise
With our secret thoughts
Of subversion.

I just wanted to have fun for myself - I felt I had a lot to say, and I realized that I missed having a magazine as a place to express my ideas. The Times column is a place for me to unload those perceptions.

Socrate
Perceptions,
Indiscretion,
But they just silently went back!
Because you paid the bribe;
But Socrate your close friend disagreed with your act,
However, this act of yours was like a valuable experience for me.

It has always surprised me how little attention philosophers have paid to humor, since it is a more significant process of mind than reason. Reason can only sort out perceptions, but the humor process is involved in changing them.

Putting Life Into Man
writing poetry is like
having created a man
and giving him his
eyes, his ears,
his tongues, his skins
and extra sensory
perceptions so that
like music they could
all come into play
in their sequences
to put the life into the man
