“...You see, I’ve always swam against the grain. The ruling class who influences the crown always controlled what I did, how I did it, and when. But of lately, I’ve made my own choices that they don’t like it. They’re pressuring me, forcing me, really, to agree to certain protocols and even choosing certain bachelors. But I don’t want those bachelors. Or their choices. I want you. I need you. I need you to help me to understand my people. I need your help to fix wrongs. I need your support and advice, because I can’t do it alone.” - Royal Matchmaking Competition: Princess Qloey”

“Thirdly and most important, the psychical energy model is logically unrelated to the concepts that Freud, and everyone since, regards as truly central to psychoanalysis—the role of unconscious mental processes, repression as a process actively keeping them unconscious, transference as a main determinant of behaviour, the origin of neurosis in childhood trauma. Not one of these concepts bears any intrinsic relation to a psychical energy model; and when this model is discarded all four remain intact and unchanged. The psychical energy model is a possible model for explaining the data to which Freud drew attention: it is certainly not a necessary one.”

“I have read a little of the material he has sent-- trial transcripts, motions, declarations, affidavits, reports... I know I cannot learn anything about MacDonald's guilt or innocence from this material. It is like looking for proof or disproof of the existence of God in a flower- it all depends on how you read the evidence.”
