We are actually educated into believing that nothing is real beyond what we can perceive with our ordinary senses.”

“Depression is rage spread thin.”
“I always speak the truth. Not the whole truth, because there's no way, to say it all. Saying it all is literally impossible: words fail. Yet it's through this very impossibility that the truth holds onto the real.”
