“It might be suggested, and not easily disproven that anything, no matter how exotic, can be believed by someone.

An oak tree takes what it needs to be the authentic oak tree it is.”

“The greatest feeling you can get in a gym or the most satisfying feeling you can get in the gym is the pump. It feels fantastic. It's as satisfying to me as ***** is, you know, as in having sex with a woman and cumming. So can you believe how much I am in heaven? I am like getting the feeling of ***** in the gym; I'm getting the feeling of ***** at home; I'm getting the feeling of ***** backstage; when I pump up, when I pose out in front of 5000 people I get the same feeling, so I am ***** day and night. It's terrific, right? So you know, I am in heaven.”
