“لطالما حمّلت نفسي مسؤولية هذا أمام الرب، وإيماني بعلمه بما كانت تكن نفسي ذلك اليوم يطمئنني أمامه، أكثر من الوقوف أمام نفسي ووساوسها، لكن.. لكن التفاصيل التي ذكرها (كازارشان) أوقدت بي سعيرًا من عذاب الضمير، لقد رحلت الآلاف من الأمنيات والأحلام حتى بيوم سعيد لم يكتمل.”

“Not much of note in my waking life. People get sick, or don’t. People die, or don’t. I watch TV, or don’t. Sometimes I smoke without remembering lighting up. I continue to go to a deranged hypnotist and try to recall a film by a deceased African-American gentleman. I sell collapsible clown shoes. I eat Slammy burgers. In my waking life, I am not a novelizer, nor will I be many other people as I will in the dreams. I am, while awake in fact, not even fully me. I believe if I had the courage to be completely me, I would be a somewhat more interesting person. I believe people would be drawn to me. I believe I would not be lonely. I cannot bear to believe that what I am while awake is the entirety of me.”

“The reality is that when you die, assuming no supernatural afterlife, things will not be, from your perspective, as they were before you were born.
