Children of the Mind

"You couldnt bear to let another man leave you, so you left him first."

"All the stories are fictions. What matters is which fiction you believe."

"I have a sense of comfortableness in love; it isnt grand sweeping passions that I expected to feel."

"Your trust in rationality makes you irrational."

"Religion is tied to the deepest feelings people have. The love that arises from that stewing pot is the sweetest and strongest, but the hate is the hottest, and the anger is the most violent."

"Knowledge is just opinion that you trust enough to act upon."

"Please dont disillusion me. I havent had breakfast yet."

"Im all the more in need of good advice, since I can’t actually conceive of needing any."

"If only we were wiser or better people perhaps the gods would explain the mad, unbearable things they do."

"What does it matter, to tell yourself that the thing controlling you comes from outside, if in fact you only experience it inside your own heart? Where can you run from it? How can you hide?"

"I have been a slave. But at least in all that time I knew my own heart. I knew what I truly thought even as I did what they wanted, whatever it took to get what I wanted from them."

"Thats life. It hurts, its dirty, and it feels very very good."
