“There are times when one friend requires the blind faith of another...”

“The line between faith and fanaticism is a constantly shifting one,” Dr. Poblocki said. “When does belief become justification? When does right become rationale and crusade become crime?”

“Absence is a curious thing. When friends are absent, they seem to loom ever larger, till the lack of them is all one can feel.”

“But as soon as the thought enters my mind, another one swims in and eats the first one like a shark. Fuck that, it burps.”

“And that is how change happens. One gesture. One person. One moment at a time.”

“And for a moment, I understand that I have friends on this lonely path; that sometimes your place is not something you find, but something you have when you need it.”
