-Mikhail Horowitz, from the preface to Stroking the Sparrow's Tail.
"Arthur was capable of taking a musty, dusty old ritual or a black-and-white text and imbuing it with rainbow colors and psychedelic scents that made so much sense that one’s mind hurt."

The Doctrine of Metaphors
Everything is a lot like
everything elseBut while being a lot like everything else It's also a lot more like itself than anything else is. But still - it's a lot like everything else. And it's not so much like anything else in particular As it is like everything else put together But of course put together a little bit differently than it is in anything else Or as in some cases a lot differently. -Arthur Joseph
