"Was that all he told you?" asked Robie, his gaze fixed on her. She looked up at him. "Isn't that enough?" "I suppose it is," agreed Robie, who shot a quick glance at Reel.

But don't sit here and think that you're cured, because that's the biggest load of crap I've ever heard. People who want to get better, they work at it. They don't lie to themselves and everyone else. They don't sit on their ass and sink deeper into a pathetic existence while denying anything's wrong at all. They have balls not bullshit. And I'm pretty much fed up with yours.

Dollars to donuts you're looking at ODs there," said Kemper, pointing to some young people getting out of cars and heading to one of the gravesites. "Over eighty thousand people in America this year alone," she added. "More than died in Vietnam and the wars in the Middle East combined. And far more than die in traffic accidents or by guns, and it's only getting worse. Next year we'll probably be looking at over a hundred thousand dead. The ..

One underlying philosophy in Ecclesiastes is that the individual can find truth by using his powers of observation and reason instead of blindly following tradition. You acquire wisdom and focus that wisdom to figure out the world on your own.
