“To them I was Hamlet in a long line of Hamlets. My problems were unimpressive and not unique. I had a grief counselor, like everyone, and a suicide counselor, because I had said the wrong thing...The suicide counselor said the people who hadn't shown up weren't going to show up, that the ones who had stopped coming would not be coming back.”

“And how it turns out no one had the childhood they wanted and how they'd tell you this a little drunk, a little slant in less time than it took to finish a cigarette because sad things can't be explained.”
― Alex Dimitrov

“I sleep. I dream. I make up things that I would never say. I say them very quietly.”
― Richard Siken

“Creaky voice: I am the scientist of my moods. I. Observe. Myself. Microscopically. But it looks like... nothing's there...I write and shudder with effects of my handiwork beneath the microscope, thinking it must be God's work. I am nothing and I am God, therefore... How'd it come to this?
Never mind.”
― Richard Hell, Go Now
