“He delivered a blistering statement regarding the readiness of the general public to recognize psychosomatic illness, while failing to recognize the reverse: that illness of the body was often the cause of seeming illness of the mind. “Now what would you say,” he proposed as an instance, “if you were my internist, God forbid, and I told you I had headaches, recurring nightmares, nausea, insomnia and blurring of the vision; and also that I generally felt unglued and was worried to death about my job? Would you say I was neurotic?...Those symptoms I gave you are the same as for brain tumor. Check the body. That’s first.”

“Mas o pior inimigo que você pode encontrar sempre será você mesmo; você fica à espreita em cavernas e florestas. Solitário, você está seguindo o caminho para si mesmo! E o seu caminho passa por você mesmo e pelos seus sete demônios! Você será um herege para si mesmo, uma bruxa, um adivinho, um tolo, um duvidoso, um profano e um vilão. Você deve estar pronto para queimar em sua própria chama: como você poderia se tornar novo, se primeiro não tivesse se tornado cinza?”

“Real love feels less like a throbbing, pulsing animal begging for its freedom and beating against the inside of my chest and more like, 'Hey, that place you like had fish tacos today and i got you some while i was out', as it sets a bag spotted with grease on the dining room table. It's not a game you don't understand the rules of, or a test you never got the materials to study for. It never leaves you wondering who could possibly be texting at 3 am. Or what you could possibly do to make it come home and stay there. It's fucking boring, dude. I don't walk around mired in uneasiness, waiting for the other shoe to drop. No parsing through spun tales about why it took her so long to come back from the store. No checking her emails or calling her job to make sure she's actually there. No sitting in my car outside her house at dawn, to make sure she's alone when she leaves. This feels safe, and steadfast, and predictable. And secure. It's boring as shit. And it's easily the best thing I've ever felt.”
