I had to calm down because a state trooper pulled up alongside me at a traffic light and began looking at me with that sort of casual disdain you often get when you give a dangerously stupid person a gun and a squad car.
Bill Bryson
The next day I was in my car driving along the freeway when at a red light another car pulled alongside. A white woman was driving and on the passenger's side, next to me, was a white man. "Malcolm X!" he called out-and when I looked, he stuck his hand out of his car, across at me, grinning. "Do you mind shaking hands with a white man?" Imagine that! Just as the traffic light turned green, I told him, "I don't mind shaking hands with human beings. Are you one?" Pg. 418

Malcolm X
I was a looker someone who looked over at every car at every traffic light, hoping something would happen, and almost never finding anyone looking back- always everyone looking forward, and every time I felt stupid. Why should people look over at you? Why would they care?
Dave Eggers
What is that? What is that supposed to be? It's never really casual, you always have to turn up. It's never casual unless you're both wearing Sherlock Holmes hats or something. You're covered in crisps, one of you's eating an omelette, the other one's doing a crossword, then it's kind of casual.
Dylan Moran
A person may ask: Well, how do I get into that state [of creative consciousness]? What do I have to do? What baggage do I have to get rid of? Is this like 8 years of psychoanalysis, or do I have to drop acid, or do I have to stand on my head for 15 years? Do I have to do some sort of a ritual or a ceremony, or do I have to join a cult or become part of some religion, or do I have to go to school and get a degree, or what? Do I have to find a guru in a cave? My basic answer is: You have to understand what the state is, and then you decide that you're going to get in it. And one of the best, sort of, bridges, you might say, to getting in it once you decide you're going to, is by doing something creative.
