The gods would never linger in pews stinking with selfish guilt, with all those wads of gum.”

“For people who are depressed, and especially for those who do not receive enough benefit from medication of for whom the side effects of antidepressants are troubling, the fact that placebos can duplicate much of the effects of antidepressants should be taken as good news.
