William S. Burroughs
“I have learned the cellular stoicism that junk teaches the user. I have seen a cell full of sick junkies silent and immobile in separate misery. They knew the pointlessness of complaining or moving. They knew that basically no one can help anyone else. There is no key, no secret someone else has that he can give you.”
William S. Burroughs, Junky

David Foster Wallace
“Everything I've ever let go of has claw marks on it. (on the wall of a bedroom at a recovery house for alcoholics and drug addicts)”
David Foster Wallace

Lori Deschene
“We can’t hate ourselves into a version of ourselves we can love.”
Lori Deschene

Charles Bukowski
“This birth thing. And this death thing. Each one had it's turn. We entered alone and we left alone. And most of us lived lonely and frightened and incomplete lives. An incomparable sadness descended up on me. Seeing all that life that must die. Seeing all that life that would first turn to hate, to dementia, to neuroses, to stupidity, to fear, to murder, to nothing - nothing in life and nothing in death.”
Charles Bukowski, Tales of Ordinary Madness

Charles Bukowski
“I walked around the block twice, passed 200 people and failed to see a human being.”
Charles Bukowski, Tales of Ordinary Madness
