“How strange it seemed to me that the whole answer might lie in the particular combination of atoms contained in those tiny, aspirin-like tablets. As recently as a few years before, science had split some of those atoms and unleashed a giant force. There in my hand lay another series of atoms, which in their way might set off another explosion--one I hoped would not be a destructive force but would help to make me a whole person.”

“Through the doctor's eyes, I see myself as a chemical reaction, and as you know, chemical formulas are definite and lead to definite conclusions.”

“The exposé type of magazine plays infinite variations on a single, very old theme--SEX. Almost every well-known figure in the literary, theatrical, and political world, at one time or another, has been the target of a salacious blast. By innuendo and the use of unrelated facts, fictions, and photographs, the subject's character is drawn and quartered. Murder, rape, mayhem, adultery, sadism, and masochism run rampant through the pages. No corruption or debauchery is considered too extreme, so long as it meets the publications' high levels of obscenity.
If a saint could come to life, he would not be immune to the slaughter.”
