There's brain damage on the horizon, a great big blubbery cloud of it coming this way -- And you can hide under the bed but brain damage is under the bed, and you can hide in the universities but they are the very seat and soul of brain damage -- Brain damage caused by bears who put your head in their foaming jaws while you are singing "Masters of War"- Brain damage caused by the sleeping revolution which no one can wake up -- Brain damage caused by art. I could describe it better if I weren't afflicted with it. ... And there is brain damage in Arizona, and brain damage in Maine, and little towns in Idaho are in the grip of it, and my blue heaven is black with it, brain damage covering everything like an unbreakable lease - Skiing along on the soft surface of brain damage, never to sink, because we don't understand the danger-- Excerpt from "Brain Damage", Donald Barthelme (1970) (I like the part about the bears - ho ho ho)
