“People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that’s bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they’re afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they’re wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It’s all in how you carry it. That’s what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you’re letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.”

“Sometimes you’re listening and you’re just like, “What the fuck is going on?” I envy the shit out of people that believe [life is] a certain way. I don’t know what the fuck is going on. The best wager to me has always been the Socratic one. You ask people who seem to think it’s a certain way why they think that. And invariably you find that they come up against foundational leaps of faith— axioms that their whole certain way presupposes. I hate to talk about philosophy, but the shit I read in there makes a lot of sense— that we’re alienated from our true communal nature. I have no idea what the hell is going on in the world, in my life, in what anything means, or what I’m supposed to do. And that’s kind of what that’s about.”

“You can’t start worrying about what’s going to happen. You get spastic enough worrying about what’s happening now.”
