“Initiation. What he meant was hazing. [...] Bonding and brotherhood were always the excuses, but more often it was about humiliation and channeling sexual frustrations into perverse games of dominance.”
“My reality is at the end of the dream. When I walk down the road of life, searching for the door that will guide me to my reality, I am merely walking to confirm there is nothing there.”
“You, sir, are the most phantom-like of all; you are a mere dream”
“Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.”
“My habitual mood of humiliation, self-doubt, forlorn depression, fell damp on the embers of my decaying ire.”
