Sometimes to go insane is an appropriate response to the World.

If you want to get well, you’re going to have to stop trying to help people.

The most dangerous kind of person… is one who is afraid of his own shadow.

What a tragic realm this is, he reflected. Those down here are prisoners, and the ultimate tragedy is that they don’t know it; they think they are free because they have never been free, and do not understand what it means.

Any system which says, This is a rotten world, wait for the next, give up, do nothing, succumb–that may be the basic Lie and if we participate in believing it and acting (or rather not acting) on it we involve ourselves in the Lie and suffer dreadfully… which only reinforces that particular Lie.
