“The nice thing about having a friend who is crazier than you are is that she bolsters your belief in your own sanity.”

“Church members shouldn't let themselves be confused. They begin not trusting in their own judgment, and then they're finished. That's a terrible, terrible thing. First, they get conducted in with a nice sweet program, no money, everything free, free, free. And then they get sucked in, and suddenly a few lies get mixed in. They are told that their human nature is wicked and these nice people who gave them all these things wouldn't be lying to them, would they? And then I think once you start distrusting your own mind you're finished. From there you just get more and more confused. Once you think that your own mind is not your friend any more-your own conscience and your own mind is not your friend-then I think you are on your way to insanity. You have been stripped bare. All your defenses are gone.”

“Wherever you are it is your own friends who make your world.”

“That's what this war is all about, my friend. It's about which of us is the crazier. And clearly you British have an advantage. You were crazy beforehand.”

“if you find one true friend in your life, you're richer than most. If that one true friend is your husband, you're blessed."

She paused. "And if that one true friend is your sister, don't feel bad. At least, she can't divorce you.”

“You aren't thinking or really existing unless you're willing to risk even your own sanity in the judgement of your existence.”

“That in you which recognizes madness as madness (even if it is your own) is sanity, is the arising awareness, is the end of insanity.”

“The thing about lying to your parents is, you have to do it to protect them.
It’s for their own good.”

“The only thing between you and your dreams is your beliefs.”

“You have to be rather straightforward with your clients. You can't tell the parties only nice things.”
