• The individual in the ordinary circumstances of living may feel more unreal than real; in a literal sense, more dead than alive; precariously differentiated from the rest of the world, so that his identity and autonomy are always in question.... He may not possess an over-riding sense of personal consistency or cohesiveness. He may feel more insubstantial than substantial, and unable to assume that the stuff he is made of is genuine, good, valuable. And he may feel his self as partially divorced from his body.

  R. D. Laing

  Real, Self, Individuality

• I just do what I feel and what I like. I don't necessarily censor or feel an obligation to have a particular moral standard - I'm willing to wallow in the mud, if necessary. It appears as if there seems to be a consistency in result, but maybe that has as much to do with the roles I choose as it does with how I play them. I do what pleases me.

  Denzel Washington

• Every time that a man who is not an absolute fool presents you with a
  question he considers very problematic after giving it careful thought,
  distrust those quick answers that come to the mind of someone who has
  considered it only briefly or not at all. These answers are usually
  simplistic views lacking in consistency, which explain nothing, or which do
  not bear examination.
