“Não deixe seu ego entrar no caminho de um cérebro saudável, aceite quando sua informação for desinformação e siga em frente. Todos nós erramos, o erro é permanecer no erro. Ignorância é não burrice, ignorância é ignorar os fatos.”

“O modelo das redes de informação já apresenta, como em um programa de humor com risadas de fundo, qual emoção deve sentir, como deve interpretar a notícia. Já dão o porrete e a pessoa que deve levar a lapada.”

“Discussões inúteis, intermináveis, agressivas. Gente defendendo as maiores asneiras, e se orgulhando disso. Pessoas perseguindo e ameaçando as outras. Um tsunami infinito de informações falsas.”

“I'm not normal, Tate."
"I know." Her hand was working its way under my shirt, then touching my skin, sliding over my chest and stomach. "Does this feel good?"
I closed my eyes and nodded.
"You're normal enough.”

“We lay on the grass beside the cemetery fence, kissing and shivering. Her teeth started to chatter and I pulled her against me, which made me feel like a superhero for no apparent reason.”

neither here nor there—
a breaking in the heart

“The sound of her voice was painful. She screamed, sobbed, whispered Hallelujah. But she never sang it.”
“I was dreaming about this—except it feels even better than I thought it would. Fucking fantastic. Clean sheets. You"
Warrick moved across and kissed him gently, exactly as he’d imagined. Soft cotton and warm skin against him, soothing and luxurious. Hand on his back, touching carefully. He had a moment of fear that this was the dream, that soon he would wake up in the cell. Then a noise distracted him: distant firing in the city. He tensed, and Warrick’s hand stroked a circle over his shoulder-blade. More firing, but it was nothing to do with him. Nothing to worry about, even if he could manage it. Safe, here.
He recaptured the tail end of a thought, before it disappeared into sleep. "Just you. ‘S enough."
If Warrick said anything in reply, Toreth didn’t hear it.”

“It’s like you were driving from San Francisco to Los Angeles for an important meeting. But along the way, you turned here and there to entertain yourself with the scenery. Somewhere along the line, without realizing it, you’re no longer moving north to south. Instead, you’re now headed east toward Denver!
Once you go out horizontally into the intermediate realm, there is no end to the new and interesting stuff you can experience: encounters with angels or entities, psychic abilities, out-of-body experiences, bright lights or colors, past lives, weird internal sounds. The scenery is really cool, but you’re never going to make that important meeting.”

“However much you wanted someone to want you, there was nothing you could do to make it happen. Whatever you did for them, whatever you gave them, whatever you let them take, it could never be enough. Never enough to be sure. Never enough to satisfy them. Never enough to stop them walking away.
Never enough to make them love you.”
