I write to keep from going mad from the contradictions I find among mankind - and to work some of those contradictions out for myself.

A great memory is never made synonymous with wisdom any more than a dictionary would be called a treatise.

Contradiction is not a sign of falsity nor the lack of contradiction a sign of truth.

The essence of humanity's spiritual dilemma is that we evolved genetically to accept one truth and discovered another. Is there a way to erase the dilemma to resolve the contradictions between the transcendentalist and the empiricist world views?

My bulimia was my addiction. Hurting myself was my addiction... The music is what saved me. That's the only thing I can trust.

Always remember that striving and struggle precede success even in the dictionary.
