“The trouble was, I had been inadequate all along, I simply hadn't thought about it.”

“I talk to God but the sky is empty.”

“I have the choice of being constantly active and happy or introspectively passive and sad. Or I can go mad by ricocheting in between.”

“So I began to think maybe it was true that when you were married and had children it was like being brainwashed, and afterward you went about numb as a slave in some private, totalitarian state.”

“If neurotic is wanting two mutually exclusive things at one and the same time, then I'm neurotic as hell.”
