You know what I like about hospitals? They don’t need to know how good of a person you are in order to take care of you. They don’t need to know what’s going on in your head before they wrap a bandage around your arm. People like that are rare.
You know what I feel like nobody in my life understands? Is that like drugs are honestly the only way I can be myself.[to Elliot]
You gotta give all this s*** a reason. Because I don’t wanna hold on to this forever.
You are a part of me I will never understand. But I take full responsibility.[to Nate]
When you’ve let someone down again and again, I think it’s fair to lose a little faith.
What are you talking about? You’re my new favorite person.[Elliot: I’m not sure it’s a good thing we met.]
This s*** is hard and confusing. The last thing you need is to feel worse because you’re not feeling something you’re supposed to feel. You do what feels good to you.[to Kat]
There’s so many revolutions that everybody’s a revolutionary. The rich. The poor. The right. The left. The young. The old. The beggars. The bankers. Man… is it beautiful. Everyone all at once, fighting one revolution after another. I tell you, I never thought I’d see so many revolutions in my entire life. The revolutions are fought and won so damn fast that the people don’t even have time to implement change, because have you heard? There’s a new revolution.[to Rue]
The problem with hating yourself is you can’t really talk about it. Because at some point recently, the whole world joined a self-help cult and won’t shut the f*** up about it.
Say what you want about Christians. At least they believe in forgiveness.
Reducing someone’s life to a moment, an ugly moment. And punishing them for it. That’s what cops do. It’s actually what everyone does. It’s what you would do to me if you didn’t know me.
No matter how hard you try to hide it, if you’re doing drugs, you’re gonna get caught. It’s inevitable. And when that does happen, you don’t wanna be on the defensive. Trust me, no one believes an addict when they’re caught.
