Not being able to find meaning can be just as powerful as finding meaning.
Bret Easton Ellis

The snowy owl has eyes that look just like mine, especially when it widens them. And while I stand there, staring at it, lowering my sunglasses, something unspoken passes between me and the bird - there's this weird kind of tension, a bizarre pressure, that fuels the following, which starts, happens, ends, very quickly.

Bret Easton Ellis

I'm not a big believer in disciplined writers. What does discipline mean? The writer who forces himself to sit down and write for seven hours every day might be wasting those seven hours if he's not in the mood and doesn't feel the juice. I don't think discipline equals creativity.

Our lives are not all interconnected. That theory is a crock. Some people truly do not need to be here.

After a while you learn that everything stops.
Bret Easton Ellis
Image
We buy balloons, we let them go.
Bret Easton Ellis
Image
I laugh maniacally, then take a deep breath and touch my chest- expecting a heart to be thumping quickly, impatiently, but there's nothing there, not even a beat.
Bret Easton Ellis
Image
I've forgotten who I had lunch with earlier, and even more important, where.
Bret Easton Ellis
Image
I don't know why I write what I write.
Bret Easton Ellis
Image
History is sinking and only a very few seem dimly aware that things are getting bad.

Women aren't very bright, Rip says. Studies have been done.
