“You begin to forget what it means to live. You forget things. You forget that you used to feel all right. You forget what it means to feel all right because you feel like shit all the time, and you can't remember what it was like before. People take the feeling of full for granted. They take for granted the feeling of steadiness, of hands that do not shake, heads that do not ache, throats not raw with bile and small rips of fingernails forced to haste to the gag spot. Stomachs that do not begin to wake up in the night, calves and thighs knotting in muscles that are beginning to eat away at themselves. they may or may not be awakened at night by their own inexplicable sobs.”

“- Децата ни гледат през цялото време... те те виждат какъв си наистина. Ти мислиш как ще им четеш приказки, каква музика ще им пускаш... Как ще им се посветиш. Ама не става така. В крайна сметка нямаш време за никакво специално отношение. Те са си като част от живота ти, като всичко останало. И с тях ти си си какъвто си си. Те са свидетели на твоята истинска същност, а не Господ. Те те гледат непрекъснато, а не Господ. Те те изкушават, те те предизвикват да се ядосаш и да станеш лош... и да ги удариш. Ако се поддадеш и ги удариш? Ако съгрешиш? И ги превърнеш в лоши деца... и си продължил злото в живота... на още едно поколение. Те са ти Божието наказание и Божието опрощение. Ако си добър и забравиш себе си и своя яд, и не ги удариш... ако се отдадеш безкористно на децата си, те са твоето опрощение в тоя живот. Не Бог. Те са твоят Бог.

“It's a little embarrassing that after 45 years of research & study, the best advice I can give people is to be a little kinder to each other.”

“If music be the food of love, play on;
Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken, and so die.
That strain again! it had a dying fall:
O, it came o'er my ear like the sweet sound,
That breathes upon a bank of violets,
Stealing and giving odour! Enough; no more:
'Tis not so sweet now as it was before.
O spirit of love! how quick and fresh art thou,
That, notwithstanding thy capacity
Receiveth as the sea, nought enters there,
Of what validity and pitch soe'er,
But falls into abatement and low price,
Even in a minute: so full of shapes is fancy
That it alone is high fantastical.”
― Twelfth Night
