“It is the truth, a force of nature that expresses itself through me—I am only a channel—I can imagine in many instances where I would become sinister to you.

For instance, if life had led you to take up an artificial attitude, then you wouldn't be able to stand me, because I am a natural being.

By my very presence I crystallize; I am a ferment.

The unconscious of people who live in an artificial manner senses me as a danger.

Everything about me irritates them, my way of speaking, my way of laughing.

They sense nature.”
― C.G. Jung

Big Barda: Darling, please. After everything. Haven't you learned by now? That's all love is.”
― Tom King, Mister Miracle

“Humans were constantly desperate to feel normal, to fit in. To blend in with everyone else around them, like a featureless flock of sheep.”

“Like any / unloved thing, I don’t know if I’m real /
when I’m not being touched.”
