The Apotropaic Sofa

"an apotropaic or paranoic buttress of ego consciousness"

— James Hillman in "Egalitarian Typologies Versus 
The Perception of the Unique

A British weblog on Saturday, 29 October 2016

"In the last few years it would appear that the linking of witch marks
and Halloween has become almost as commonplace as Christmas
and Coke adverts, Boxing Day and the DFS sales. They have become
the fallback of any journalist who wants a bit of a heritage twist to a story,
and can't find a good killer clown exclusive."

Marcela Nowak today

See as well Polite Number.

Scholium:

"She was a very nice, polite little kid. God, I love it
when a kid’s nice and polite when you tighten their skate
for them or something. Most kids are. They really are.
I asked her if she’d care to have a hot chocolate or something
with me, but she said no, thank you. She said she had to meet
her friend. Kids always have to meet their friend. That kills me."

—  Jerome Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye
