• Ever since ADCC 2003 people come up to me and say, 'Did you see your bracket? It's the toughest one there is!' And I always reply with 'I didn't even look.' It's always the tough- est bracket, but thank God I al- ways win it.

• I would encourage people to realize that you don't have to panic if you're not part of a mainstream, or if you find yourself outside the flow. If it doesn't suit you, don't go along with it. Just sit it out and get your stuff done. Don't just sit moaning or getting drunk—I spent some years doing that. But if you can just come up with something of your own, however minor it is, that's going to be easier to live with when you're at the end of your life.

Here they find manure and an open space for the first year at least, when they are not choked by grass or weeds. In this way, evidently, many of these clumps of barberries are commenced.

Neurotic suffering is suffering in imagination, suffering in fantasy.
