“I just know that there are plenty of people who are in terrible trouble and can't get out. And so I'm impatient with those who think that it's easy for people to get out of trouble.”

“Somebody gets into trouble, then gets out of it again. People love that story. They never get tired of it.”

“People don't want to think. And the deeper they get into trouble, the less they want to think. But by some sort of instinct, they feel that they ought to and it makes them feel guilty. So they'll bless and follow anyone who gives them a justification for not thinking. Anyone who makes a virtue - a highly intellectual virtue - out of what they know to be their sin, their weakness and their guilt.”

“People who don't know me well enough might say I'm delusional and paranoid, but they're just out to get me.”

“ Men who will lead you into trouble will seldom stand by you to get you out of it.”

“Why is it that people who can't get their shit together, can't seem to keep their noses out of other people's”
