Normality is the Great Neurosis of civilization.

There is no such thing as a weird human being, It's just that some people require more understanding than others.

Love is the ultimate outlaw.

The theme of corporate stories (and millions drink them in every day) seldom varies: to be happy you must consume, to be special you must conform. Absurd, obviously, yet our identities have become so fragile, so elusive, that we seem content to let advertisers provide us with their version of who we are, to let them recreate us in their image: a cookie-cutter image based on market research, shallow sociology, and insidious lies.

Love easily confuses us because it is always in flux between illusion and substance, between memory and wish, between contentment and need.
