“Any drinker knows how the process works: the first day you get drunk is okay, the morning after means a big head but so you can kill that easy with a few more drinks and a meal, but if you pass up the meal and go on to another night's drunk, and wake up to keep the toot going, and continue on to the fourth day, there'll come one day when the drinks wont take effect because you're chemically overloaded and you'll have to sleep it off but cant sleep any more because it was alcohol itself that made you sleep those last five nights, so delirium sets in ― Sleeplessness, sweat, trembling, a groaning feeling of weakness where your arms are numb and useless, nightmares, (nightmares of death)... well, there's more of that up later.”
― Jack Kerouac, Big Sur

“Now the song is nearly over
We may never find out what it means
Still there's a light I hold before me
You're the measure of my dreams”
― Shane MacGowan, Poguetry

“The world breaks everyone, and afterward, many are strong at the broken places.”
― Ernest Hemingway

“είναι που εντός μου είσαι η δίνη
είναι που έσπασες τον άξονα
που κράταγε την τάξη
κι όλα έγιναν ιαχές
νικηφόρα έξαλλα φωνήεντα”
― Έκτωρ Κακναβάτος, Ποιήματα 1943-1987
