Sorry, no dice.
I didn't think this would be very hard since it is a rather clever analogy.
In the 60’s, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.

Actually, here's another hint:
The person is not a major character in the book, but the quote is prophetic of the plot to come.

It's His Imperial Majesty Stesten, Emperor of Hamor, Regent of the Gates of the Oceans, and liege lord of Afrit - in 'Death Of Chaos'.
It's a metaphor of human bloody existence, a dragon. And if that wasn't bad enough, it's also a bloody great hot flying thing.

Hey, thanks.
I'm tired of having to heal people because no one can ever solve anything except with force.
Ok, I need the book, speaker, and the person the speaker is speaking to.
