They went so they could talk calmly, so they could get through a conversation without anyone calling anyone else a Bunny fucker, so that Rhonda could help them work out logistics.

Why should furious hate become obsession, then intoxication and the very reason to live?Because love and hate were the two heads of the demon.”

The worst of it is that it soon anaesthetizes his senses so that he doesn't know what he's missing.”

Just far enough to ransom our creativity from chaos.”

“Truth then seems to me, in the proper import of the word, to signify nothing but the joining or separating of Signs, as the Things signified by them do agree or disagree one with another. The joining or separating of signs here meant, is what by another name we call proposition. So that truth properly belongs only to propositions: whereof there are two sorts, viz. mental and verbal; as there are two sorts of signs commonly made use of, viz. ideas and words.”
