Hubert Selby Jr.
“It makes tomorrow alright.”
Hubert Selby Jr., Requiem for a Dream

Georges Bataille
“Charles Baudelaire’s refusal was the most profound form of refusal, for it was in no way the assertion of an opposite principle. It only expressed that which was indefensible and impossible in the poet’s obstructed state of mind.”
Georges Bataille, Literature and Evil

Virginie Despentes
“My ego has been trampled on more times than an old cigarette butt in the gutter”
Virginie Despentes, Apocalypse Baby

Megan Abbott
“Because---and this was the first time I understood this--- everyone always like the best, wants the most, admires deeply, the girl who's just out of reach. The girl no one can touch, really. We don't know why we're drawn, but it's unstoppable.”
Megan Abbott, Give Me Your Hand

Elizabeth Wurtzel
“What I mean is this: Prozac has rather minimal side effects, the lithium has a few more, but basically the pair keep me functioning as a sane human being, at least most of the time. And I can’t help feeling that anything that works so effectively, that’s so transformative, has got to be hurting me at another end, maybe sometime further down the road. I can just hear the words inoperable brain cancer being whispered to me by some physician twenty years from now.”
Elizabeth Wurtzel, Prozac Nation
