“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.”

“[W]hether it’s a regular dream or a lucid dream, it may simply be taking place at a psychic level. But what we’re really aiming for is engagement, through active imagination, at the imaginal level.”

“Time settles down a thing or two but not everything. We cannot wait forever. We cannot hope forever. We cannot dream forever. We have to move on with whatever we have or with nothing at all. We have to move on.”
“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.”

“Like long lost love abandoned in forgotten letters, you lose yourself in others and dream their dreams, become their aspirations. When you look in the mirror, you see a black, blank picture of Them staring back and you vow not to, before giving in once again.”

“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. Instead, you will be timelessly, though imperceptibly so, and eternally, though deceptively so, paused in the last conscious moment of your final experience.”

“Through the rivers we must cross and the mountains we climb. They’ll be paths we go down in life, full of bumps, twist and turns, and apprehension. Doubt and fear will cross your mind, but will fade away with each step. You’ll win this emotional challenge. Emotional only because of people who insist, you can’t do something. Bring God with you, and see that blue sky appear, and your dreams come to be. If you think this is easier said than done, how would you know unless you've tried? In Jesus name. Amen.”
