Addiction is characteristic of modernity. Intoxication served to buffer the shock of the modern. Beginning in the nineteenth century, a narcotic (via a tricking-of-the-senses as to what reality is by new cinema technologies) was made out of reality itself.

Addiction is having every habit lying there in one's body even after quitting - having them lying dormant like flowers in the desert, ready to burst into full and luxuriant bloom if given the right conditions.

Addiction is an attachment to the phallus as a means to obtain satisfaction by somehow avoiding the law or the passage through the social bond.

Addiction's opposite is not sobriety; it is human connection.

Commitment is requisite to real living — If a man hasn't discovered something he will die for, he isn't fit to live.

Commitment is at the heart of personhood. An uncommitted person is not person at all.

Commitment is the loss of options, a type of death, the death of childhood's limitless possibility, of the flattery of choice without duress.

Commitment is what transforms a promise into reality.

Conflict is not possible without communication.

Conflict is avoided most on account of mutual respect.

Conflict is inevitable but not necessarily bad.

Conflict is the force that drives a theatrical writer.

Contract is an agreement made up of big words and little type.

A Contract is a deceptive document — The large print giveth and the small print taketh away.

A Contract is worthless if not written — a verbal contract is not worth the paper it's printed on.

A Contract is a document written by lawyers for lawyers in order to make people immediately realise that they cannot do without lawyers.
