"Peanut bag with salt next to Tomato juice plastic glass marvelous. I need a Zen quote that will slap my ears, say, Juan Boy! Something like this & blam! I am drinking tomatoes as I write."
*This quote strikes me as rediculous. I had no idea what Juan was talking about when he said this. New York City Angelic: Need a Zen Quote i thought was one of the worse stories in the book because I didnt really understnad any of it and it reminded me of the Dharma Bums. ( I didnt really enjoy that book.)

"Oyeme, Mamita, oyeme--now that you are gone into the deep and silent luminous fallen side of the night. Oyeme."
* Listen, mama, listen. Juan speaks to his dead mother, showing her respect by talking to her and listening to her in Spanish. He watches her signs that she sends to him. I thought that this quote seemed very sentimental and that it proved how much Juan and his mother loved each other. The family theme in this book is very strong.
