"Sometimes I think we live through things only to be able to say that it happened. That it wasnt to someone else, it was to me. Sometimes we live to beat the odds. Im not crazy even though they thought I was. I live in the same world as everyone else. I just saw more of it, as Im sure you have. Theyll find my body tomorrow. You can check it out if you dont believe me. Ive seen life after my death, and Im telling you this because its the only way to help you and your daughter have a better life of your own. Jean, youre gonna pass out one day smoking a cigarette and burn to death. Your daughter grows up living the same sad life youre living right now. And she misses you so much. Sometimes life can only really begin with the knowledge of death. That it can all end, even when you least want it to. The important thing in life is to believe that while youre alive, its never too late. I promise you, Jean, no matter how bad things look, they look better awake than they do asleep. When you die, theres only one thing you want to happen. You wanna come back."

Mahatma GandhiQuote
"we are engaged in a grim experiment never before attempted. We are subjecting whole populations to exposure to chemicals which animal experiments have proved to be extremely poisonous and in many cases cumulative in their effect. These exposures now begin at or before birth and-unless we change our methods-will continue through the lifetime of those now living. No one knows what the result will be, because we have no previous experience to guide us."

E. E. CummingsQuote
"I believe that the unity of man as opposed to other living things derives from the fact that man is the conscious life of himself. Man is conscious of himself, of his future, which is death, of his smallness, of his impotence; he is aware of others as others; man is in nature, subject to its laws even if he transcends it with his thought."
Erich FrommQuote
"“We need brains, is the bottom line,” Ivy said. “We’re not hunter-gatherers anymore. We’re all living like patients in the intensive care unit of a hospital. What keeps us alive isn’t bravery, or athleticism, or any of those other skills that were valuable in a caveman society. It’s our ability to master complex technological skills. It is our ability to be nerds. We need to breed nerds.”"

"I have been clinically depressed for most of my life. I once used drugs to fix it. Then I stopped. I stopped because I decided they were making me stupid, and Id rather be miserable than stupid. I am what I am."
