“I tell it like it is, from real experience. I want to tell people that freedom is great, but that it can also be dangerous.”
“But I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin.”
“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.”
“They like to tell us that it is important to speak the truth, but it has been my experience that real happiness lies in having people tell you what you want to believe, usually not the same thing at all, and if you have to stub your toe on the truth later, so be it.”
“I couldn't tell the difference between what was real and what I wanted to be real.”
“I would tell anyone who wants something from someone else to feign not wanting it. People are perverse. If you show great affection to them, they'll run the other way.”
