“You know the typical crowd, Wow, it鈥檚 Friday night, what are you going to do? Just sit there? Well, yeah. Because there鈥檚 nothing out there. It鈥檚 stupidity.

Sorry for all the millions, but I鈥檝e never been lonely. I like myself. I鈥檓 the best form of entertainment I have.”

“Not all addictions are rooted in abuse or trauma, but I do believe they can all be traced to painful experience. A hurt is at the centre of all addictive behaviours. It is present in the gambler, the Internet addict, the compulsive shopper and the workaholic. The wound may not be as deep and the ache not as excruciating, and it may even be entirely hidden鈥攂ut it鈥檚 there. As we鈥檒l see, the effects of early stress or adverse experiences directly shape both the psychology and the neurobiology of addiction in the brain.”

“i want to apologize to all the women i have called beautiful
before i鈥檝e called them intelligent or brave
i am sorry i made it sound as though
something as simple as what you鈥檙e born with
is all you have to be proud of
when you have broken mountains with your wit
from now on i will say things like
you are resilient, or you are extraordinary
not because i don鈥檛 think you鈥檙e beautiful
but because i need you to know
you are more than that”

“Like most others, I was a seeker, a mover, a malcontent, and at times a stupid hell-raiser. I was never idle long enough to do much thinking, but I felt somehow that some of us were making real progress, that we had taken an honest road, and that the best of us would inevitably make it over the top. At the same time, I shared a dark suspicion that the life we were leading was a lost cause, that we were all actors, kidding ourselves along on a senseless odyssey. It was the tension between these two poles - a restless idealism on one hand and a sense of impending doom on the other - that kept me going.”

“A long time ago, before I even met you,
someone replaced my chest with a broken record.
For years, it鈥檚 been stammering through
the same old tune.
I want you to know I鈥檓 trying.
I quit smoking. I鈥檓 doing yoga. And those days
I wake up wishing for death are getting fewer
and farther apart.

No, I鈥檓 not ok. But I haven鈥檛 been ok
since I was 11, maybe 12. I am still here though.
I鈥檓 still breathing. For me, sometimes, that
will have to be enough”
― Clementine von Radics
