Life Quote by U.V. Ray
““Everyone is schizophrenic. They feel so insignificant they fear they’ll absorb the personalities of those around them and almost everything they say is an opinion expressed not to impart information but simply to assert their existence, to verify themselves as something substantial in an otherwise gelatinous, unquantifiable world. That’s why people talk so much and that’s why people go into politics or carry a gun or try to save the whale, save the elderly, save the elephant, save the fucking snails, feed the world. Everyone is a degree of psycho.””
