“You can’t run from yourself” – Really?

Saying “you can’t run from yourself” is like saying that a player is more important than the cards he been dealt with. And the retched quote succeeds for the same reason all the other philistine crutches become popular, it has a sprinkling of truth in it. But more importantly it provides the utilitarian social function, a quote in a conversation is there to preserve the phoniness of existence by cuttings a dialog short, absolving a nerd of obligation to think and insisting that everyone should submit to a predetermined, inauthentic life. No nation has succumbed to this existential disease as much as the Jews. The indoctrination factories that pass for an education other there train people in this skill. A quote jockey awoken in the middle of a nigh is measured by his ability to bark out a succession of aphorisms and the aptitude to going back to sleep, convinced he has touched the eternity. In his noetic moonwalk the quote master should have the discipline to never notice that there are others around who are wide awake.
