Book cover for Alcoholics Anonymous
Because this book has become the basic text for our Society and has helped such large numbers of alcoholic men and women to recovery, there exists strong sentiment against any radical changes being made in it.
Doug
And that is reason enough for me. There is no living problem I could face that this book does not provide guidance for a resolution.

“What might be considered irrational, abnormal, aberrant, ludicrous, illogical, bizarre, schizoid, or schizophrenic to earth people (which is what AAs call nonalcoholics) is usually considered fairly normal by AA members.”
James Lee Burke, In the Electric Mist with Confederate Dead

“You know why they stay asleep? Because all those cameras, clean-cut anchors, Ivy League educations, graphics, resources, high-rise buildings, decades of being in my living room — it’s IMPOSSIBLE that they could be controlled by a criminal super-mafia trying to destroy the world.”
Martin Geddes, Open Your Mind to Change: A Guidebook to the Great Awakening

Dennis Lehane
“They don’t respect us because we are their molested children. They fuck us morning, noon, and night, but as long as they tuck us in with a kiss, as long as they whisper into our ears, “Daddy loves you, Daddy will take care of you,” we close our eyes and go to sleep, trading our bodies, our souls, for the comforting veneers of “civilization” and “security,” the false idols of our twentieth-century wet dream.”
Dennis Lehane, A Drink Before the War

“If I could open up my own bookstore? I’d open a place that’s only for people who really love books. All genres would be welcome, but there would be no paperbacks in the whole place – and if you rip a dust cover, you’re banned for life.”
Jen Campbell, The Bookshop Book

Nassim Nicholas Taleb
“You can replace lies with truth; but myth is only displaced with a narrative.”
Nassim Nicholas Taleb, The Bed of Procrustes: Philosophical and Practical Aphorisms
