If I could wake up in a different place, at a different time, could I wake up as a different person?

I can manage my own pain. I can drink. I can go to the doctor and get a prescription. I can exercise. I can write a story about it. I've done it a million times! But I don't want to see the people I love tortured and suffering.

A comedy ends with a wedding, and a tragedy ends with a funeral: you always have to juxtapose sex and death.

My writing process isn't a very organized thing. The actual writing part is a tiny part of my life. I often write in public. I bring my laptop or write freehand in notebooks. Then, I'll read through them while I exercise or walk the dog. The very last thing I do is the sitting alone at the computer part.

This is the biggest mistake I could think would save me. I wanted to give up the idea that I had any control. Shake things up. To be saved by chaos. To see if I could cope, I wanted to force myself to grow again. To explode my comfort zone.

I admire addicts. In a world where everybody is waiting for some blind, random disaster or some sudden disease, the addict has the comfort of knowing what will most likely wait for him down the road. He's taken some control over his ultimate fate, and his addiction keeps the cause of his death from being a total surprise.

When nobody will look at you, you can stare a hole in them. Picking out all the little details you'd never stare long enough to get if they'd even just return your gaze, this, this is your revenge.

Sometimes you do something, and you get screwed. Sometimes it's the things you don't do, and you get screwed.

After long enough, everyone in the world will be you enemy.

The only way to find true happiness is to risk being completely cut open.

Almost all the time, you tell yourself you're loving somebody when you're just using them. This only looks like love.
