We buy balloons, we let them go.
Bret Easton Ellis

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
No one will ever know anyone. We just have to deal with each other. You're not ever gonna know me.
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
Greed is good. Sex is easy. Youth is forever.
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
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 went to college in Vermont, and then stayed in the East Coast.
Bret Easton Ellis
History is sinking and only a very few seem dimly aware that things are getting bad.
