“You aren't sick & unhappy
only alive & stuck with it.”

“Sickness is the first warning that we have made a wrong judgement. A healthy person is never unhappy.”

“In youth alone, unhappy mortals live;
But, ah! the mighty bliss is fugitive:
Discolored sickness, anxious labor, come,
And age, and death's inexorable doom.”
Optima quaeque dies miseris mortalibus aevi Prima fugit; subeunt morbi tristisque senectus Et labor, et durae rapit inclementia mortis.

“I am not sick. I am broken. But I am happy to be alive as long as I can paint.”

“The danger today is in believing there are no sick people, there is only a sick society.”

“Much of my criticism of religion comes about when I see it not only affirming the system of normalcy but teaching folks how to live there comfortably. It just increases our “stuckness” in the old world. As does a lot of poor psychotherapy. Cheap religion teaches us how to live successfully in a sick system.”

“Is feeling nothing the inevitable result of believing in nothing? …I thought it would be such a sick joke to have to remain alive for decades and not believe in or feel anything.”

“They don't really pay attention to me, except when they need my blood or something. I wouldn't even be alive, if it wasn't for Kate being sick.”

“Money does not change the sickness, only the symptoms.”

“Only sick music makes money today.”
