"In real life, every day you might come to some new conclusion about yourself and about the reasoning behind your behaviour and you can tell yourself that this knowledge will make all the difference. But in all likelihood, you're going to keep on doing the same old things. You'll still be the same person. You'll still cling to your destructive, debilitating habits because your emotional tie to them is so strong - so much stronger than any dime-store insight you might come up with - that the stupid things you do are really the only things you've got that keep you centered and connected. They are the only things about you that make you, you."
-Elizabeth Wurtzel, Prozac Nation.
