“But he could not call the doctors at the leprosarium. They would return him to Louisiana. They would treat him and train him and counsel him. They would put him back into life as if his illness were all that mattered, as if wisdom were only skin deep, as if grief and remorse and horror were nothing but illusions, tricks done with mirrors, irrelevant to chrome and porcelain and clean, white, stiff hospital sheets and fluorescent lights.”

“If someone says, "You can make it!" down a vertical mountain when you don't ski very well, think about it before launching. This can be a turning point in your life. It sure was in mine when I slammed into the mountain. I wish I'd said, "F'getabout it, sucka," and gone to the Kiddie Corral. Would have saved a lot of pain and surgery. Think about this. What are you really up for? Is the thrill worth the cost?”

“Mais si notre inconscient est la source de beaucoup de nos maux, il peut aussi amener la guérison de nos affections morales et physiques. Il peut, non seulement réparer le mal qu’il a fait, mais encore guérir des maladies réelles, si grande est son action sur notre organisme. - But if our unconscious is the source of many of our ills, it can also bring about the healing of our moral and physical affections. It can not only repair the harm it has done, but also cure real illnesses, so great is its action on our organism.”
