“We have two ears and one tongue so that we would listen more and talk less.”
~Epictetus (or Diogenes, depending on who you ask)

“I am going to tell you something that is so personal … I understand why people want to commit suicide when they are in pain. Because you want to scream at the top of your lungs that something is wrong! And nobody is listening […] and that is scary. I am a single parent, I have always been very dependent. So, when that happens […] you are in a lot of pain, Hell Yeah, you are going to take whatever, give me morphine, give me anything, I am desperate!”
