“Emotional Vampires never grow up. Throughout their lives, they see themselves as victims of fate and the unpredictability of others. Stuff happens, and they just respond to it. As a result, they have no opportunity to learn from their mistakes, and they just keep on making the same ones over and over.”

“There is no such thing as something for nothing. We live in an ordered universe with checks and balances. The law is value earned is according to value provided.”

“أن نكون تحت أنظار الآخرين، وموضع عنايتهم، أن نلاحظ الرضا والاستحسان في عيونهم. يعتز الرجل الثري بثرواته لأنها تلفت انتباه العالم حوله، ويخجل الفقير من فقره لأنه يضعه بعيدًا عن أنظار الناس.”

“Histrionics know how to get looked at, but they don’t have a clue about how to look at themselves. They often know less about their own history and motivation than about those of their favorite television characters. Histrionics’ selective memories make their lives into a series of vivid but unconnected events, no more related to one another than the programs broadcast on a given night.”

“All vampires use self-hypnosis to avoid seeing themselves as they really are, but Histrionics are virtuosos of self-deception. Like stage magicians, they divert their own awareness away from the strings and wires that hold their personalities together. They simply do not see anything in themselves that they consider inappropriate or unlovable. Their image of themselves is like a series of attractive still photos, scenes from a movie with no overall plot to hold them together.”
