Catholic Church specializes in that kind of training, to make good boys afraid of divine retribution so they will do what their daddies tell them, like, for example, going into medical school when it's the last thing they want to do." [#105]
- "A long time ago. I was seeing this woman. A banker, and turns out she liked to be burned. [#120]
