“The alcoholic, to get liquor, will do everything that the drug-addict will do to get drugs, everything but one: and that is murder. Cut off from drink, he’ll lie to get it, beg, plead, wheedle, borrow, steal, rob—all the crimes in the catalogue. But he won’t kill for it. That’s the difference between the drunk and the drug-addict. But the only one.”
Charles Jackson, The Lost Weekend

Alejandra Pizarnik
“the sense of things
remains in the intensity of their names”
Alejandra Pizarnik, The Galloping Hour: French Poems

Alejandra Pizarnik
“Your eyes begin in my eyes which no longer see you. Begin in my voice which no longer speaks to you. Die out in my hands which no longer touch you. Your eyes are inscribed in my flesh. No one can bear to see me now. Sinister tattoo. I do the rain, I do the sun. For want of your eyes in my eyes.”
Alejandra Pizarnik, The Galloping Hour: French Poems

Ann Rule
“Looking back, we see it is often casual choices which chart a path to tragedy.”
Ann Rule, The Stranger Beside Me

“If he wanted to drink himself to death it was nobody’s affair but his own; his life was his life to throw away, if that’s what he wanted; but—was that what he wanted? If so, why did he suffer remorse? Obviously there was the will in him to destroy himself; part of him was bent on self-destruction—he’d be the last to deny it. But obviously, too, part was not; part held back and expressed its disapproval in remorse and shame.”
Charles Jackson, The Lost Weekend
