Bret Easton Ellis
I am gripped by an existential panic.
Bret Easton Ellis
I went to college in Vermont, and then stayed in the East Coast.
Bret Easton Ellis
The images I had were of people being driven mad by living in the city. Images of parents who were so hungry and unfulfilled that they ate their own children.
Bret Easton Ellis
Women aren't very bright, Rip says. Studies have been done.
Bret Easton Ellis
Disappear Here. The syringe fills with blood. You're a beautiful boy and that's all that matters. Wonder if he's for sale. People are afraid to merge. To merge.
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
I wasn't acting on passion. I was simply acting.
Bret Easton Ellis
And as the elevator descents, passing the second floor, and the first floor, going even father down, I realize that the money doesn't matter. That all that does is that I want to see the worst
Bret Easton Ellis
I feel I'm moving toward as well as away from something, and anything is possible.
Bret Easton Ellis
