Quote context

[...]

- And I said, Why me? And the voice said, Because you're on television, dummy.

- You have 40 million Americans listening to you and after this show, you could have 50 million.

- For Pete's sake, I'm not asking you to walk the land in sackcloth and ashes preaching the Armageddon. You're on TV, man.

- So I thought about it for a moment and then I said, Okay.

- Close the door, Harry.

- Howard, I'm taking you off the air. I think you're having a breakdown. Require treatment.

- I'm imbued, Max. I'm imbued with some special spirit. It's not a religious feeling at all. It's a shocking eruption of great electrical energy. I feel vivid and flashing, as if suddenly I'd been plugged into some great electromagnetic field.

- I feel connected to all living things. To flowers, birds, all the animals of the world and even to some great, unseen living force. What I think the Hindus call prana.

- It is not a breakdown. I've never felt more orderly in my life. It is a shattering and beautiful sensation.
