Horrible dates are when you're with people who are immature and can't really be comfortable in their own skin.

One thing that I've struggled with has been a certain amount of animosity toward the whole human race.

Humans are social creatures that really crave intimacy.

There's no real reason for me to be so obsessed with trying to understand the true nature of things. You can live a perfectly happy life being utterly confused and not knowing.

Don't try to blame the pain on anyone. Blaming others won't erase the pain.
