"Donâ€™t ask me those questions! Donâ€™t ask me what life means or how we know reality or why we have to suffer so much. Donâ€™t talk about how nothing feels real, how everything is coated with gelatin and shining like oil in the sun. I donâ€™t want to hear about the tiger in the corner or the Angel of Death or the phone calls from John the Baptist."

-- Susanna Kaysen
