It's one thing to tolerate a boring marriage; a boring affair does not make sense.

If you are a human being, you might as well face it. You are going to rub a lot of people the wrong way.

A sobering thought: what if, at this very moment, I am living up to my full potential?

The human mind is kind of like a piñata. When it breaks open, there's a lot of surprises inside. Once you get the piñata perspective, you see that losing your mind can be a peak experience.

Like what's the point being a health nut by day if you're a coke head at night.

... it's hard to be politically conscious and upwardly mobile at the same time.
