But in rage, you become one with a group; out of rage, you become one with the universe.
~ Sadhguru

~ Anne Rice

My personal weakness wasn't fear so much as the anticipation of it.
~ Sebastian Junger

Over the long term, however, too much adrenaline produces scarring on the insides of your blood vessels. These scars become magnets for molecules to accumulate, creating lumps called plaques.

Angelo's description hadn't prepared Vincent for the reality of Kii.
