David Sheff
“I didn't cause it. I can't control it. I can't cure it.”
David Sheff

David Sheff
“In his suicide note, Kurt Cobain wrote, "It's better to burn out than to fade away." He was quoting a Neil Young song about Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols. When I was twenty-four, I interviewed John Lennon. I asked him about this sentiment, one that pervades rock and roll. He took strong, outraged exception to it. "It's better to fade away like an old soldier than to burn out, " he said. "I worship people who survive. I'll take the living and the healthy.”
David Sheff, Beautiful Boy: A Father's Journey Through His Son's Addiction

Laurie Halse Anderson
“I am beginning to measure myself in strength, not pounds. Sometimes in smiles.”
Laurie Halse Anderson, Wintergirls

Brian Masters
“Reality poisons the spring of fantasy, whereas fantasy, when it erupts into the real world, brings destruction in its wake.”
Brian Masters, The Shrine of Jeffrey Dahmer

Susanna Kaysen
“Crazy isn't being broken or swallowing a dark secret. It's you or me amplified. If you ever told a lie and enjoyed it. If you ever wished you could be a child forever.”
Susanna Kaysen, Girl, Interrupted
