7 " If you went to a shrink, he just read to you from the book but when you looked at him, you knew he didn’t know what you were talking about. You were just talking to a contented person. When what you really needed when you were going crazy was another crazy who read exactly what you were saying, but not from the book, from the street. "
8 " Uno se puede encariñar de muchas cosas aparte del sexo pero es mejor si el sexo está presente de alguna manera. "
