“There is a terrible beauty to isolation. You don’t have to accept responsibility for others, or live up to their expectations. You could dip your toe into humanity’s maelstrom from time to time, or sit on the river bank and observe.”
― Celia Stander, Guardians of the Akasha

“Strangers when you meet, strangers when you part -a gymnasium of bodies namelessly masturbating each other. People with no morals often considered themselves more free, but mostly they lacked the ability to feel or to love. So they became swingers. The dead fucking the dead. There was no gamble or humor in their game -it was corpse fucking corpse. Morals were restrictive, but they were grounded on human experience down through the centuries. Some morals tended to keep people slaves in factories, in churches and true to the State. Other morals simply made good sense. It was like a garden filled with poisoned fruit and good fruit. You had to know which to pick and eat, which to leave alone.”
― Charles Bukowski, Women

“It is my opinion that the isolated mind loses its purchase on reality all too easily and becomes prone to fantasy.”
― Frank Tallis, A Death in Vienna

“I never met an addict who came from a nice home . I've met addicts that came from families that had money and nice houses. But never from a nice home.”
― Sara Gran, Dope
