“Sensual images of you are forever tangoing through my brain--maybe I can begin solidify them. At least they would be mine! - Matthew Sedon”

“Maybe my passion is nothing special, but at least it's mine.- An Eightieth Birthday”

“If I could put my brain in her body, the world would be mine for the taking.”

“Sometimes I wondered if I was seeing the same things through my eyes that the rest of the world was seeing through theirs. Maybe there was a glitch in my brain.”

“Look at my glasses. I can't even see that there are any stars in the sky without them, but it's not the glasses that are doing the seeing, it's me, Madeleine.

“For most people, religion is nothing more than a substitute for a malfunctioning brain. If people need religion, ignore them and maybe they will ignore you, and you can go on with your life.

I replied, "No, we don't.”
