God has abandoned you. Fear does not serve you. Your heart has betrayed you. Only the music can guide you.

Next Quote

A very common symptom in maniacal conditions is erotic excitement. This varies from mere coquetry, a somewhat extended application of the command "love one another", an undue attention to the opposite sex, and so forth, up to the extreme of salacity, when the mind is wholly occupied by the urgent sexual appetite, and all restraint is abandoned.

— Daniel Hack Tuke
