“Disgusting foods, as Madame de Pompadour discovered, do not arouse the senses. They only dull them. Seduction, as you know by now, for women starts with the ears and for men starts with the eyes and for both, travels directly to the stomach. Some say you need sweet murmurings in the ears, but I say laughter, intrigue and delicacies are more powerful.”
― Harry F. MacDonald, Casanova and the Devil's Doorbell

“I have an obligation to help eliminate the stigma attached to mental illness. When I’m feeling despondent and someone asks in a sincere way how I am, I have a duty to tell the truth. It’s no different from saying I have a bad cold. By speaking candidly, I give others permission to acknowledge their own mental illness, talk about it, and seek help. I must break the silence instead of treating my depression like a shameful character flaw.”
― Larry Godwin, Transcending Depression: Quest Without a Compass

“The word has not been recognized as a virus because it has achieved a state of stable symbiosis with the host.”
― William S. Burroughs, The Electronic Revolution
