"The scariest monsters are the ones that lurk within our souls."
"I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity."
"There is no beauty without some strangeness"
"I have absolutely no pleasure in the stimulants in which I sometimes so madly indulge. It has not been in the pursuit of pleasure that I have periled life and reputation and reason. It has been the desperate attempt to escape from torturing memories, from a sense of insupportable loneliness and a dread of some strange impending doom."
"All suffering originates from craving, from attachment, from desire."
