Bret Easton Ellis cytaty

“I laugh maniacally, then take a deep breath and touch my chest- expecting a heart to be thumping quickly, impatiently, but there's nothing there, not even a beat.”

“ABANDON ALL HOPE YE WHO ENTER HERE”

“Is evil something you are? Or is it something you do?”

“I'm into, oh murders and executions mostly. It depends.”

“The better you look, the more you see.”

“What does that mean know me, know me, nobody ever knows anybody else, ever! You will never know me.”

“But this road doesn't go anywhere,” I told him.
“That doesn't matter.”
“What does?” I asked, after a little while.
“Just that we're on it, dude,” he said.”

“No one ever likes the right person.”

“Our lives are not all interconnected. That theory is a crock. Some people truly do not need to be here.”

“I only had sex with her because I'm in love with you.”

“I like to dissect girls. Did you know I'm utterly insane?”

“There’s no use in denying it: this has been a bad week. I’ve started drinking my own urine.”

“This is not an exit.”

“Disappear Here.
The syringe fills with blood.
You're a beautiful boy and that's all that matters.
Wonder if he's for sale.
People are afraid to merge. To merge.”

“Look how black the sky is, the writer said. I made it that way.”

“We buy balloons, we let them go.”

“And it struck me then, that I liked Sean because he looked, well, slutty. A boy who had been around. A boy who couldn't remember if he was Catholic or not.”

“When the going gets tough, the tough go drinking.”

“Disintegration---I'm taking it in stride.”

“Why was I holding on to something that would never be mine? But isn't that what people do?”

“But this was what happened when you didn't want to visit and confront the past: the past starts visiting and confronting you.”

“No one will ever know anyone. We just have to deal with each other. You're not ever gonna know me.”

“My pain is constant and sharp… this confession has meant nothing”

“Life is like a typographical error: we're constantly writing and rewriting things over each other.”

“And though the coldness I have always felt leaves me, the numbness doesn't and probably never will. this relationship will probably lead to nothing… this didn't change anything. I imagine her smelling clean, like tea…”

“You learn to move on without the people you love.”

“I don't want to care. If I care about things, it'll just be worse, it'll just be another thing to worry about. It's less painful if I don't care.”

“But… what about us? What about the past?" she asks blankly.
"The past isn't real. it's just a dream," I say. "Don't mention the past.”

“Sex is mathematics. Individuality no longer an issue. What does intelligence signify? Define reason. Desire - meaningless. Intellect is not a cure. Justice is dead.”
