Everything grows rounder and wider and weirder, and I sit here in the middle of it all and wonder who in the world you will turn out to be.
I went to a doctor and told him I felt normal on acid, that I was a light bulb in a world of moths. That is what the manic state is like.
Mania starts off fun, not sleeping for days, keeping company with your brain, which has become a wonderful computer, showing 24 TV channels all about you. That goes horribly wrong after awhile.
Nobody wants to read about a good-looking happy person.

There's no room for demons when you're self-possessed.
Here's what I've learned: that someone can change the course of history with a box cutter.
You know how I always seem to be struggling, even when the situation doesn't call for it?
