Quotes 

• Dr. Farrell : The vessel which we normal people use for imbibing experience is a stout austerity model, which doesn't crack. With others, like yourself, the glass, though of superior design, cracks quite easily. Now, instead of leaving it upturned on the shelf, a danger to all, it should be thrown away.

• Dr. Farrell : Man doesn't have any generous feelings - he only thinks he has. Selfishness, habit and hard cash - those are his real motives.

  Michael Joyce : Looked at from that angle life can hardly be worth living.

  Dr. Farrell : It isn't - but I've done my share of enjoying it.
