I'm a citizen of the republic of empathy.

I bought an energy bar, and as I ate it a great weariness came over me.

Yes, we could solve for why, but we could also eat another slice of coconut cake.

I felt as though I were snorting cocaine, or rappelling down a cliffside, or cliffsurfing off a cliff of pure cocaine.

Write what you know. Write what you don't know. But most of all, write what you'd rather not know.

There is no opposing brutal force to the stratagems of human reason.

I would never want any prayer that would not make the virtues grow within me.

The world we live in is the world we choose to live in, whether consciously or unconsciously. If we choose bliss, that's what we get. If we choose misery, we get that, too.
