"I can only handle this book (Sedaris too, probably) in small doses. It's exhausting. One second I'm laughing (as he likes to make himself the butt of his own jokes) and the next I'm bruised by how he catches me off guard with painful truths highlighting the human condition. I'll keep reading, as I feel myself to be more illuminated with every page, however uncomfortable it might be." — Apr 25, 2013 09:03AM

“Because loving is reciprocal physiologic influence, it entails a deeper and more literal connection than most realize. Limbic regulation affords lovers the ability to modulate each other’s emotions, neurophysiology, hormonal status, immune function, sleep rhythms, and stability. If one leaves on a trip, the other may suffer insomnia, a delayed menstrual cycle, a cold that would have been fought off in the fortified state of togetherness.”
