"Please, touch me, I pray."

"I'm one of my sensations."

"God is the same, even though He has a thousand names; it is up to us to select a name for Him."

"The trouble with fiction,"said John Rivers, "is that it makes too much sense. Reality never makes sense."

"if something is there, you can only see it with your eyes open, but if it isn't there, you can see it just as well with your eyes closed. That's why imaginary things are often easier to see than real ones."

"[Horror fiction] shows us that the control we believe we have is purely illusory, and that every moment we teeter on chaos and oblivion."

"Hope and reality lie in inverse proportions, inside the walls of a hospital... Doubt is like dye. Once is spreads into the fabric of excuses you've woven, you'll never get rid of the stain."

"A writing may be lost; a lie may be written; but what the eye has seen is truth and remains in the mind!"

"You must accept the reality of other people. You think that reality is up for negotiation, that we think it's whatever you say it is. You must accept that we are as real as you are; you must accept that you are not God."

"Do not let your good ideas to spend your brain energy, do it with all the effort because the shadow of the success can become a reality only with hard work."

"I am a free soul, singing my heart out by myself no matter where I go and I call strangers my friends because I learn things and find ways to fit them into my own world. I hear what people say, rearrange it, take away and tear apart until it finds value in my reality and there I make it work. I find spaces in between the cracks and cuts where it feels empty and there I make it work."

"There were two ways to be happy: improve your reality, or lower your expectations"

"I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?"

"Maybe you could be mine / or maybe we’ll be entwined / aimless in this sexless foreplay."

"A common mistake we make is that we look for God in places where we ourselves wish to find him, yet even in the physical reality this is a complete failure. For example, if you lost your car keys, you would not search where you want to search, you would search where you must in order to find them."

"Life keeps throwing me lemons because I make the best lemonade..."

"Man keeps looking for a truth that fits his reality. Given our reality, the truth doesn't fit."

"Antonin Artaud wrote on one of his drawings, "Never real and always true,"and that is how depression feels. You know that it is not real, that you are someone else, and yet you know that it is absolutely true."

"When one realises one is asleep, at that moment one is already half-awake."

"A fit, healthy body—that is the best fashion statement"
