3 mental states

"There are three mental states that interest me", said Amanda, turning the lizard doorknob. "These are: one, amnesia: two, euphoria; three, ecstasy".
She reached into the cabinet and removed a small green bottle of water-lily pollen. "Amnesia is not knowing who one is and wanting desperately to find out. Euphoria is not knowing who one is and not caring. Ecstasy is knowing exactly who one is --- and still not caring". pg. 167.
