Antonio Michael Downing
“It's not the substance that hooks you, it's the emotions," he explained. "There is a crack somewhere in our spirits, and we have to heal that before anything.”
Antonio Michael Downing, Saga Boy: My Life of Blackness and Becoming

Dmitry Dyatlov
“Although I've been told I'm an ALCOHOLIC, which means I cannot stop drinking, I've also discovered, over years of experience, that if I have no money, or car, and it's cold in the winter, most days I am not terribly excited to run out and steal beers from the Rite Aid. Think for yourself.”
Dmitry Dyatlov
