“When in the presence of someone with whom you have a bond, and to whom you have entrusted your feelings, it is hard to lie and get away with it. The truth just wants to come flowing out.

“Partners reported that customers are now coming to them and they say it's an important shift from even a year ago. It's a better indication the mass market is truly materializing because they're going through traditional trusted relationships with partners for their expertise.

“That initial thing was disbelief and then anger, extreme anger. I mean I actually got angry with God. That's the ultimate anger.

“All we have to believe with is our senses, the tools we use to perceive the world: our sight, our touch, our memory. If they lie to us, then nothing can be trusted.

“Latent in every man is a venom of amazing bitterness, a black resentment; something that curses and loathes life, a feeling of being trapped, of having trusted and been fooled, of being the helpless prey of impotent rage, blind surrender, the victim of a savage, ruthless power that gives and takes away, enlists a man, and crowning injury inflicts upon him the humiliation of feeling sorry for himself.”
