“I am aware that I am less than some people prefer me to be, but most people are unaware that I am so much more than what they see.”
“I am not eccentric. It's just that I am more alive than most people. I am an unpopular electric eel set in a pond of catfish.”
“Some people are more certain of everything than I am of anything.”

“I am the truth, since I am part of what is real, but neither more nor less than those around me.”
“I’m quite aware of what I am, Kit. I know how people look at me. I’m the guy you see in some bar, being loud and obnoxious.
