Quotes by Ralph Pezzullo (?)

“severe depression as well as depersonalization disorder, which is to say he no longer felt in control of his feelings, emotions, or behaviors. He was aware of his actions, but felt he was watching them from a third-person perspective. I recommended he take corrective action to reduce the depression and anxiety he was experiencing.”
― Ralph Pezzullo, Left of Boom: How a Young CIA Case Officer Penetrated the Taliban and Al-Qaeda

“Some of the attendees protested. One guy said, “We have jobs. We can’t keep making up excuses to miss work.” “If you can’t lie to your boss, how are going to succeed at this?” the presenter responded.”
