More quotes by Bret Easton Ellis
I think a lot of snowflakes are alike...and I think a lot of people are alike too.
Bret Easton Ellis
Why was I holding on to something that would never be mine? But isn't that what people do?
Bret Easton Ellis
I've been accused of being very vain about my apathy.
Bret Easton Ellis
It's because you're always fighting sentiment. You're fighting sentimentality all of the time because being a mother alerts you in such a primal way.
Bret Easton Ellis
I have all the characteristics of a human being: blood, flesh, skin, hair but not a single, clear, identifiable emotion, except for greed and disgust. Something horrible is happening inside of me and I don't know why. My nightly bloodlust has overflown into my days. I feel lethal, on the verge of frenzy. I think my mask of sanity is about to slip.
Bret Easton Ellis
I write books to relieve myself of pain. That's the prime motivator to write. Period.
Bret Easton Ellis

Bret Easton Ellis
There’s no grand plan. All I know is that I write the books I want to write. All that other stuff is meaningless to me.
Bret Easton Ellis
Writing a novel is not method acting and I find it easy to step out of it at cocktail hour.
Bret Easton Ellis
No one is drawn to writing about being happy or feelings of joy.
Bret Easton Ellis
...there is an idea of a Patrick Bateman, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me, only an entity, something illusory, and though I can hide my cold gaze and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable: I simply am not there.
Bret Easton Ellis
We buy balloons, we let them go.
Bret Easton Ellis
History is sinking and only a very few seem dimly aware that things are getting bad.
Bret Easton Ellis
I kept staring into the blackness of the woods, drawn into the darkness as I always had been. I suddenly realized how alone I was. (But this is how you travel, the wind whispered back, this is how you've always lived.)
Bret Easton Ellis
Disintegration---I'm taking it in stride.
Bret Easton Ellis
But this road doesn't go anywhere,” I told him. “That doesn't matter.” “What does?” I asked, after a little while. “Just that we're on it, dude,” he said.
Bret Easton Ellis
Is evil something you are? Or is it something you do?
Bret Easton Ellis
Not being able to find meaning can be just as powerful as finding meaning.
Bret Easton Ellis
I think the '80s created me, in a way, when I look back on that time, but I don't necessarily think that a lot of my choices, and a lot of things that I did, and a lot of things that happened to me - or I let happen to me - were about that decade.
Bret Easton Ellis
My pain is constant and sharp...this confession has meant nothing
