Psychiatrist speaking: "But patients will surprise you.........................I meant in a good way. They sometimes have rather sophisticated interests. Although I have to say that they're often inclined to give up what they treasure for what makes them miserable."
Patient speaking: "Its general vacuity aside there seems to be a ceiling to well-being. My guess is that you can only be so happy. While there seems to be no floor to sorrow. Each deeper misery being a state heretofore unimagined. Each suggestive of worst to come."
From Stella Maris, by Cormac McCarthy
