“What if reality is nothing but some disease?”

“I admire addicts. In a world where everybody is waiting for some blind, random disaster or some sudden disease, the addict has the comfort of knowing what will most likely wait for him down the road. He's taken some control over his ultimate fate, and his addiction keeps the cause of his death from being a total surprise.”

“Inspiration needs disease, injury, madness.”

“Optimism is the first symptom that any disease is fatal.”

“I embrace my own festering diseased corruption,”

“Ask yourself: What did I eat for breakfast today? What did I eat for dinner last night? You see how fast reality fades away?”

“It's the Marilyn Monroe school of medicine where enough of any drug will cure any disease.”
