“When will you people learn? In America we stopped using corporal punishment and things have never been better. The streets are safe, old people strut confidently through the darkest alleys and the weak and nerdy are admired for their computer programming abilities. So, like us, let your children run wild and free, for as the old saying goes, 'Let your children run wild and free.”
“Here are the two things I have come to believe about diets:
1. Almost any diet works in the short term.
2. Almost no diets work in the long term”

“Losing weight is not the hard part. The hard part is living with a diet for years, maybe the rest of your life. That’s why almost no diets work in the long run.”

“Все, кто стали заниматься йогой, перестали есть мясо, травить себя алкоголем и табаком, тут же превратились в «белых ворон». Их перестает понимать общество, родные и близкие, сверяющие свои идеи с накатанным пластом километров кинопленки, программным телепродуктом, пошлыми заголовками газет и журналов.”

“Shod Omnivorism; it pretty much sums up the current state of the world. I find the word 'shod' deeply descriptive; it conjures such an archaic barbaric feeling, of being shackled and tamed, captive and downtrodden. Omnivorism is the concept that every living and non-living thing on this planet is a potential meal, and God forbid that anyone should question another’s right to eat whatever, whoever and however they desire. Shod and Omnivorism together truly emphasise the sad disequilibrium of the dominant prevailing human mindset.”

“As with other forms of mother blame, the issue of “permissive” or “smothering” mothers was central to Bruch’s theory. Bruch’s writings on “obesity” are worded with examples of mothers who overfed their children to show affection, to reward, to placate, to assuage guilt, and encourage dependency. Bruch (1973) also linked fatness in children, particularly boys, to effeminacy and homosexuality, thus intertwining mother blame, fatness, and homosexuality in a particularly potent way.”
“Някои хора стават тъжни много млади. Няма специална причина, изглежда просто така са родени. Те се нараняват по-лесно, уморяват по-бързо, плачат по-рано и помнят повече и, както казах, стават тъжни по-млади. Знам че съм един от тях.”
