More quotes by James Frey
Life, not death, is the great mystery you must confront.
James Frey
I often think of death. True. Suicide is a reasonable option. True. My sins are unpardonable. I stare at the question. My sins are unpardonable. I stare at the question. My sins are unpardonable. I leave it blank.
James Frey
I think of how and why and what happened and the thoughts come easily, but the answers don't.
James Frey
Love is love. It doesn't matter how or who you love. I don't believe the messiah would condemn gay men and women.
James Frey

James Frey
You don't have to follow anybody's conventions.

Some people think memoirs should be held to a perfect journalistic standard. Some people don't. Obviously I don't. My goal was never to create or to write a perfect journalistic standard of my life. It was always to be as literature.
James Frey

James Frey
I feel strong. Not strong enough to face myself, but strong enough to keep going.
James Frey
In life we often look to others for simple, but difficult answers, despite the fact that we have those answers ourselves.
James Frey
I don't speak with proper grammar. I don't speak with dialogue attribution. I don't speak with quotation. I don't care about any of that stuff. It's about rhythm, and it's about what's in their [the character's] head, and what feels more natural. And it's about speed. I want things to move.
James Frey
I meet a third man he's an old man he trips in the street he falls and I help him up, walk him to the curb. He shakes my hand says keep the faith, young man. I ask him what he means, he says keep running and don't let them catch you.
James Frey
I look at pastries and cakes, tarts and pies. My body craves sugar, always craves sugar. Years of alcohalism and the high level of sugar in alcohal created the craving, which I feed with candy and soda.
James Frey
The wounds that never heal can only be mourned alone.
James Frey
Dreams can come true there [Los Angeles]in ways impossible anywhere else, and they can get destroyed as well.
James Frey
What is the meaning of life?Whatever you want it to be.
