Sherman Alexie
“There are all kinds of addicts, I guess. We all have pain. And we all look for ways to make the pain go away.”
Sherman Alexie, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian

A.M. Riley
“One thing I've learned is it's better to be addicted to things than people. You get hooked on a thing and if someone takes it from you, you can find another source. Only people can really hurt you. Only people can push you out into the cold permanently.”
A.M. Riley, Immortality is the Suck
