Overton Window! Jump! I don't want to be in a position that could make me vomit, like air travel. I've purloined airsick bags and stuffed them everywhere, just in case I ever feel the need to throw up. I haven't vomited since 1977, but I think about it all the time. I recognize that it's irrational, but I'd rather jump out of a window than vomit. Scott Stossel

And, hovering about, there are signs no one has ever read, chords no one has ever heard. Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

Without these the world would be full of humans who are little more than robots. Karl Wiggins, Wrong Planet Searching for your Tribe
