More quotes by Bret Easton Ellis
I think basically most men are misogynistic.
Bret Easton Ellis
I keep feeling that people are becoming less human and more animalistic. They seem to think less and feel less so that everyone is operating on a very primitive level. I wonder what you and I will see in our lifetimes. It seems so hopeless yet we must keep on trying ... I guess we can't escape being a product of the times, can we?
Bret Easton Ellis
I write books to relieve myself of pain. That's the prime motivator to write. Period.
Bret Easton Ellis
No one will ever know anyone. We just have to deal with each other. You're not ever gonna know me.
Bret Easton Ellis
At Columbus Circle, a juggler wearing a trench cloak and top hat, who is usually at this location afternoons and who calls himself Stretch Man, performs in front of a small, uninterested crowd though I smell prey, and he seems worthy of my wrath, I move on in search of a less dorky target. Though if he'd been a mime, odds are he'd already be dead.
Bret Easton Ellis
After a while you learn that everything stops.
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
He was simply someone who floated through our lives and didn't seem to care how flatly he perceived everyone or that he'd shared our secret failures with the world, showcasing the youthful indifference, the gleaming nihilism, glamorizing the horror of it all.
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
Not being able to find meaning can be just as powerful as finding meaning.
Bret Easton Ellis
but I don't want to wear a condom because I don't feel anything, and she says calmly... glaring at me,If you don't use one you're not going to feel anything anyway.
Bret Easton Ellis
No one is drawn to writing about being happy or feelings of joy.
Bret Easton Ellis
Everyone I know who is successful has issues with their father, regardless of whether it was sports or business or entertainment.
Bret Easton Ellis
Unless you're the director on the movie, or putting up the money for the movie, you really don't have a lot of control.
Bret Easton Ellis
I feel I'm moving toward as well as away from something, and anything is possible.
Bret Easton Ellis
Regardless of the business aspect of things, is there a reason that there isn't a female Hitchcock or a female Scorsese or a female Spielberg? I don't know. I think it's a medium that really is built for the male gaze and for a male sensibility.
Bret Easton Ellis
My pain is constant and sharp, and I do not hope for a better world for anyone.
Bret Easton Ellis
Fear never shows up and the party ends early.
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
I've forgotten who I had lunch with earlier, and even more important, where.
Bret Easton Ellis
