Quotes by Sarah Berman (?)

“Years later, NXIVM would implement a rule that no psychologists or psychiatrists were allowed to attend its courses, a rule shared with Scientology. When a former trainer asked Nancy about this, she said it was because psychologists “ruin the training for everybody else; all they want to do is argue.”
― Sarah Berman, Don't Call it a Cult: The Shocking Story of Keith Raniere and the Women of NXIVM

“He told one of his partners that he required sex constantly, or else spiritual energy might consume him to the point of death.”

“EACH NEW CURRICULUM and company was an opportunity to bring in more money and people. All the successful ones followed a similar recruitment and pay structure, with 10 percent of dues going back to their “philosophical founder.”
― Sarah Berman, Don't Call it a Cult: The Shocking Story of Keith Raniere and the Women of NXIVM
