"It’s a strange thing, how you can love somebody, how you can be all eaten up inside with needing them—and they simply don’t need you. That’s all there is to it, and neither of you can do anything about it. And they’ll be the same way with someone else, and someone else will be the same way about you and it goes on and on—this desperate need—and only once in a rare million do the same two people need each other."
Madeleine L’Engle
"A narcisist is someone better looking than you are."
Gore Vidal
"Having lived through some very difficult times and wondered if I was ever going to get to do a job like this,
I am ever vigilant about success."

"Now, my experience is that most of the time,
people have no idea why they’re doing what they’re doing. They have no idea, so they’re going to try to make up something that makes sense."
Clotaire Rappaille
"The first time you understand, you imprint the meaning of this word; you create a mental connection that you’re going to keep using the rest of your life. And to create this mental connection, you need some emotions. Without emotion, there is no production of neurotransmitters in the brain, and you don’t create the connection. So actually every word has a mental highway. I call that a code, an unconscious code in the brain."
Clotaire Rappaille
