It’s frighteningly easy to get lost in your own subconscious; any place you think you know is different after dark.

Salva veritate. With truth intact. But the truth was never simple, seldom whole.

In science and medicine we like to pretend it’s all very impersonal, but the truth is it’s rare you find anyone with a purely academic interest in this stuff. You get interested because it’s personal, and once you turn it into a profession, you have to pretend it isn’t personal anymore.

“Straight men are so stupid. Women aren’t complicated. If you don’t know how to get to where you want to be with her, just fucking ask for directions.”
