->''"Don't mock me, my friend. It's a condition of mental divergence. I find myself on the planet Ogo, part of an intellectual elite, preparing to subjugate the barbarian hordes on Pluto. But even though this is a totally convincing reality for me in every way, nevertheless Ogo is actually a construct of my psyche. I am mentally divergent, in that I am escaping certain unnamed realities that plague my life here. When I stop going there, I will be well.''\\
''...Are you also divergent, friend?"''

-> ''"The DC comics were always a lot more true blue. Very enjoyable, but they were big, brave uncles and aunties who probably insisted on a high standard of you know mental and physical hygiene. Whereas the Stan Lee stuff, the Marvel comics, he went from one dimensional characters whose only characteristic was they dressed up in costumes and did good. Whereas Creator/StanLee had this huge breakthrough of two-dimensional characters. So, they dress up in costumes and do good, but they've got a bad heart. Or a bad leg. I actually did think for a long while that having a bad leg was an actual character trait."''

-> ''I was just standing there, looking at my stamp album and the priceless collection that it had taken me years to build, [[SeriousBusiness when all of a sudden I realized that since I had foolishly pasted all of them directly into the album using an industrial-strength adhesive, they were completely worthless. I understood then that the universe was just a cruel joke upon mankind, and that life was pointless. I became completely cynical about human existence and saw the essential stupidity of all effort and human striving.]] At this point I decided to join the police force.''

'''Crow:''' ''"That's fine, but these are not simple utilitarian lies that satisfy you and me as we interact on a day-to-day basis."''\\
'''Tom:''' ''"No no no no. These are ''elaborate'' lies - Joel, if you will? Through which Jimmy constructs a richly cuckoo fantasy world of love."''\\

->''The revelation that Kross isn't her father has freed her from the need for his approval, and we're led to assume that her mental health problems are now well and truly behind her. The '''Human Jungle''' stories are supposedly based on real case histories, and I can't help thinking that things probably weren't quite that clear-cut in reality.''
