"You're not an idiot. Huh! You're not a goddam looney now, boy. You're a fisherman!"
"I'm not talking about my wife, I"m talking about my LIFE, I can't seem to get that through to you. I'm not just talking about one person, I'm talking about everybody. I'm talking about form. I'm talking about content. I'm talking about interrelationships. I'm talking about God, the devil, Hell, Heaven. Do you understand... FINALLY?"
---Ken Kesey, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
