“The ill or impaired may, in the sense of fulfilling life, be far more free than healthy people.”

“The diseased, anyway, are more interesting than the healthy. The words of the diseased, even those who can manage only a murmur, carry more weight than those of the healthy. Then, too, all healthy people will in the future know disease. That sense of time, ah, the diseased man’s sense of time, what treasure hidden in a desert cave. Then, too the diseased truly bite, whereas the healthy pretend to bite but really only snap at the air. Then, too, then, too, then, too.”

“Bailing out people who made ill-advised mortgages makes no more sense that bailing out people who lost their life savings in Las Vegas casinos.”

“It may actually be more healthy to be disturbed, confused, or searching than confident, certain, and secure.”

“Nothing is more fulfilling than living a life of purpose.Discover and fulfill your purpose for living.”

“Let not thy divining heartForethink me any ill;Destiny may take thy part,And may thy fears fulfill.”
