“It's difficult. I take a low dose of lithium nightly. I take an antidepressant for my darkness because prayer isn't enough. My therapist hears confession twice a month, my shrink delivers the host, and I can stand in the woods and see the world spark.”

“The brain of a person in love will show activity in the amygdala, which is associated with gut feelings, and in the nucleus accumbens, an area associated with rewarding stimuli that tends to be active in drug abusers. Or, to recap: the brain of a person in love doesn't look like the brain of someone overcome by deep emotion. It looks like the brain of a person who's been snorting coke.”

“فعلا، أنا أكثر أنانية- وربما أذكى قليلا- من الذين أدخل معهم في علاقات: شخص مهووس بنفسي وعندي قابلية على الضجر تجعلني أتصرف بطريقة تغيظ، وربما من المستحيل أن يكون الشخص الذي معي سعيدا...
عندي قابلية على العزلة واحتقارا دفنا للناس، بالذات في أمورهم الإجتماعية....
إني أريد أن أكون كما أنا طوال الوقت بغض النظر عن السياق، ولأني لست مستعدا للتنازل أو التواؤم دائما ما أعاني النتائج...”

“What is the nature of the guilt that your teachers call his Original Sin? What are the evils man acquired when he fell from a state they consider perfection? Their myth declares that he ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge--he acquired a mind and became a rational being. It was the knowledge of good and evil--he became a moral being. He was sentenced to earn his bread by his labor--he became a productive being. He was sentenced to experience desire--he acquired the capacity of sexual enjoyment. The evils for which they damn him are reason, morality, creativeness, joy--all the cardinal values of his existence. It is not his vices that their myth of man's fall is desired to explain and condemn, it is not his errors that they hold as his guilt, but the essence of his nature as man. Whatever he was--that robot of the Garden of Eden, who existed without mind, without values, without labor, without love--he was not man.”
