Proverbs for Paranoids

Thomas Pynchon, from Gravity’s Rainbow

  1. You may never get to touch the Master, but you can tickle his creatures. (p.237)
  2. The innocence of the creatures is in inverse proportion to the immorality of the Master. (p.241)
  3. If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don’t have to worry about answers. (p.251)
  4. You hide, they seek. (p.262)
  5. Paranoids are not paranoids because they’re paranoid, but because they keep putting themselves, fucking idiots, deliberately into paranoid situations. (p.292)
