​"For the fact was drugs were not necessary to most of us, because the music, youth, sweaty bodies were enough...We lived for music, we lived for Beauty, and we were poor. But we didn’t care where we were living, or what we had to do during the day to make it possible; eventually, if you waited long enough, you were finally standing before the mirror in that cheap room, looking at your face one last time, like an actor going onstage, before rushing out to walk in the door of that discotheque and see someone like Malone."

"You have no idea how fast thing can change. You have no idea how suddenly years can pass and lives can end. Ignorance is not bliss. Bliss is knowing the full meaning of what you have been given."

​"It matters not how strait the gate,/How charged with punishments the scroll,/I am the master of my fate: 
I am the captain of my soul” (Invictus by William Ernest Henry)
