" Glitch or not, we seem to need a power greater than ourselves. We seem to need enormous shadows of divinity stalking us. We know we are weak. Alcoholics are, above all, lonely, fearful pepole who make a fetish of loneliness, who think they--we--are too good to be part of the human race. And we have to be humbled to remember who we are--stumbling human beings, more ape than angel. "

― Erica Jong , Fear of Dying
