“What we like to think of ourselves and what we really are rarely have much in common....”

“We fool ourselves so much we could do it for a living.”

“Things do happen for a reason, but do we like the reason? Rarely.”

“We have once again succeeded in destroying what we could not create.”

“By tomorrow at this time, I think you're going to have a much better idea of what crazy is. -- Ev Hillman”

“We lie best when we lie to ourselves.”

“So do we pass the ghosts that haunt us later in our lives; they sit undramatically by the roadside like poor beggars, and we see them only from the corners of our eyes, if we see them at all. The idea that they have been waiting there for us rarely crosses our minds. Yet they do wait, and when we have passed, they gather up their bundles of memory and fall in behind, treading in our footsteps and catching up, little by little.”
