“writing about drugs is like that though, isn't it? You can just tell when someone is writing about drugs and they've never really done them. It screams out at you. That's something where I believe you have to have been there to really get it, y'know?”

“Kad u glavi imamo rečenice, mislio sam, još uvek nemamo odlučnost i da ih stavimo na papir. Rečenice nas plaše, najpre nas plaši misao, onda rečenica, naposletku to što tu rečenicu možda više nemamo u glavi kada hoćemo da je zapišemo. Vrlo često neku rečenicu prerano zapišemo, neku, opet, prekasno; rečenicu moramo da zapišemo u pravom trenutku, inače je zauvek izgubljena.”
― Tomas Bernhard
