My "act" has ended by becoming an integral part of my nature, I told myself. It's no longer an act. My knowledge that I am masquerading as a normal person has even corroded whatever of normality I originally possessed, ending by making me tell myself over and over again that it too was nothing but a pretense of normality. To say it another way, I'm becoming the sort of person who can't believe in anything except the counterfeit.

"The narcissism at the border separating adolescence from adulthood will make use of anything for it's own ends. Even the annihilation of the world. At twenty I was able to fancy myself as anything I liked. As a genius destined for an early death. As the final heir to the tradition of Japanese beauty. As a decadent among decadents, the last Emperor of an age of decadence. Even as Beauty's kamikaze squad.
"Without accepting the fact that everything changes, we cannot find perfect composure. But unfortunately, although it is true, it is difficult for us to accept it. Because we cannot accept the truth of transience, we suffer."

"A tree is known by its fruit; a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost; he who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love."

"To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one. It is rather an endless struggle that will go on to the very last moment of our lives. Nobody is born a warrior, in exactly the same way that nobody is born an average man. We make ourselves into one or the other."
"Human beings are capable of virtually limitless degradation; they are also capable of virtually limitless improvement and achievement. Success depends on goals and on diligence in pursuing them."
"Try to find the path of least resistance and use it without harming others. Live with integrity and morality, not only with people but with all beings."
-Steven Seagel
