The best sentence I read yesterday
Psychoanalysis is about what two people can say to each other if they agree not to have sex.
That is from Adam Phillips, in the new book Intimacies.

Bersani and Phillips call for a new form of intimacy which they term “impersonal narcissism”
From the descriptions at the Amazon.com page, this sounds like a candidate for your "why you should throw books out" theory.

That one is good. It could have seen that in a Woody Allen film from 1986 or something like that...

Thank you, but I have seen my fill of this already.

. . . and yet the intimacy of psychoanalysis so often LEADS to sex; having been affiliated with a psychoanalytic institute, the stories of sex with patients I gathered would curl ordinary people's hair. The analysts all know it. And they keep it a secret!

They are just talking sh*t in an attempt to bore the other person into taking his/her clothes off -- and getting to a REAL topic :)

一個人背起行囊，離開喧囂的城市，走進清境民宿的懷抱。去體味大自然的清新的原汁原味。在臺灣，只要背離了川流不息的鬧市，到處都有花園般的宜蘭民宿歡迎您，她們就像是自己的家一樣溫馨、舒適。臺灣的民宿都很注重室內設計，豪華的雙人套房猶如五星級賓館的總統套房一般華貴。那兒真是令人流連忘返的地方。
