“Reborn here in this grubby old hospital, surrounded by the sick and the dying, people who deserve a second chance far more than he does. But it isn't the pink-and-white cooing kind of rebirth. It's more like being wrenched from a warm, dark, comfortable place and forced out into a bright, frightening world where nothing is certain.”
Peter Blauner, The Intruder [Mass Market Paperback] by Peter Blauner

“John G. turns on him, hands on hips, hair caked with snow. 'Hey, buddy, let me tell you something. Drugs are the only thing I got. I am a drug addict. That's all I've ever been and that's all I'll ever be. Even if I'm not putting a needle in my arm or pipe in my mouth right this second, the thought is still in my mind.' He taps the side of his head. 'And if I decide I'm gonna get high to deal with the pressures in my life, there's not a fuckin' thing you can do about it.”
Peter Blauner, The Intruder [Mass Market Paperback] by Peter Blauner

“Just when he thinks he's adjusting to anxiety as a constant condition, Jake feels several internal organs shrinking.”
Peter Blauner, The Intruder [Mass Market Paperback] by Peter Blauner
