One day I will explode. And then I will be free.

"I've got this friend who's been a junkie for 25 years. He said to me when Trainspotting came out, 'Why have you written this book? You've only been a junkie for five minutes.' " Welsh's eyes dim for a moment. "Well actually, it was 18 months." He seems keen to go on. "It was a stupidity and a weakness. I've not touched it for years, but it's in your vocabulary. If something bad happens in your life, it's always there in the background, waiting for you to trip up." Welsh kept a diary when he was on heroin; sometimes the odd note, sometimes whole therapeutic pages about addiction. Trainspotting in embryo.
I used to have a drug problem but now I make enough money.
Seven beers followed by two Scotches and a thimble of marijuana and it's funny how sleep comes all on it's own.

This is the main advantage of ether: it makes you behave like the village drunkard in some early Irish novel... total loss of all basic motor skills: blurred vision, no balance, numb tounge- severance of all connection between the body and the brain. Which is interesting because you can actually watch yourself behaving in this terrible way, but you can't control it.
There is nothing more helpless and irresponsible than a man in the depths of an ether binge
I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone.... but they've always worked for me.
\
The junkie in Trocchi and Burroughs's fiction was by and large a culturally middle-class figure - a member of the intelligentsia, a rebel who saw society as not having done anything for them, so they're into this drug that's their own, a symbol of their rebellion. There's always been that sort of bohemian type drug sub-culture. But in Edinburgh, in the eighties you're talking about people who wouldn't normally be involved in the heroin scene, people who didn't have that Trocchi-esque attitude of setting themselves up in opposition to society. It was just people who really didn't have a fucking clue as to what was going on... I'm not writing a text-book on drugs or drug legislation . . . I wouldn't be comfortable becoming a spokesperson for anything; drugs spokesperson, underclass spokesperson. I don't think you can write anything definitive if you do. It's only your truth as you see it
Welsh looks thoughtful and pauses for a full 15 seconds. "I can't really say I've had a great deal of personal problems with drugs," he says eventually. "The problems were caused by the procurement rather than the effects. In your teens and your twenties you're not really aware of your mortality, you're just steaming in... There's a tension when you write a book like this [Trainspotting], that people expect you to be either this big reformed ex-junkie voice-of-experience, which I don't think I am, or they think you are some kind of middle class voyeur looking in and writing an exploitation book about other people's misery, which equally I don't think I am. Probably you could point to people in my past and they'd say: 'Oh, he was never into anything like that to that extent.' Or get people saying: 'That bastard was much worse than any of the characters in the book.' "
Drugs are a bet with the mind
The basic thing nobody asks is why do people take drugs of any sort? Why do we have these accessories to normal living to live? I mean, is there something wrong with society that's making us so pressurized that we cannot live without guarding ourselves against it?
Let me be clear about this: I don't have a drug problem, I have a police problem.
Did you know America ranks the lowest in education but the highest in drug use? It's nice to be number one, but we can fix that. All we need to do is start the war on education. If it's anywhere near as successful as our war on drugs, in no time we'll all be hooked on phonics
I will lift up mine eyes unto the pills. Almost everyone takes them, from the humble aspirin to the multi-coloured, king-sized three deckers, which put you to sleep, wake you up, stimulate and soothe you all in one. It is an age of pills.
I think psychedelics play a major part in what we do, but having said that, I feel that if somebody's going to experiment with those things they really need to educate themselves about them. People just taking the chemicals and diving in without having any kind of preparation about what they're about to experience tend to have no frame of reference, so they're missing everything flying by and all these new perspectives. It's just a waste. They reach a little bit of spiritual enlightenment, but they end up going, 'Well, now I need that drug to get back there again.' The trick is to use the drugs once to get there, and maybe spend the next ten years trying to get back there without the drug.
Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind.
I don't do drugs. I am drugs.
Psychedelics are probably responsible for every aspect of human evolution apart from the decline in bodyhair.

Peggy- "Tell me you love me, Al" Al-"I love football, I love beer, let's not cheapen the meaning of the word."

To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.
Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction.
Love is patient, love is kind, and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own (will), is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
If you love something, let it go. If it comes back, great. If not, it's probably having dinner with someone more attractive than you

Friendship often ends in love; but love in friendship - never.
For what is the beloved? She is that which I myself am not. In the act of love, I am pure male, and she is pure female. She is she, and I am I, and clasped together with her, I know how perfectly she is not me, how perfectly I am not her, how utterly we are two, the light and the darkness, and how infinetly and eternally, not-to-be-comprehended by either of us is the surpassing One we make.

Life without love is meaningless and goodness without love is impossible.
Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.
Often it is the most deserving people who cannot help loving those who destroy them.
The joy of life and its affairs of happiness digress into a pain of lost height. So, in all happiness there is sadness. That of a depressed state of losing, a time which no enjoyment can fervor the full amount because of the hidden realization of drowning in the opposites.

I had never spoken to her, except for a few casual words. and yet her name was like a summons to all my foolish blood.
I say I'm in love with her. What does that mean? It means I review my future and my past in the light of this feeling. It is as though I wrote in a foreign language that I am suddenly able to read. Wordlessly, she explains me to myself. Like a genuis, she is ignorant of what she does.
I'm a dork and she's so cool, I'm ugly she's beautiful, she's so smart I'm just a fool, and I just can't figure it out, I just can't undrstand, why does she love me?
Love is the delightful interval between meeting a beautiful girl and discovering that she looks like a haddock.

"Unconditonal" ( without conditions ), just as i am (without provisions),till death do us part (murder not acceptable),for better or for worse(and it always gets worse), now say you love me !!
People think love is an emotion. Love is good sense.
And ever has it been known that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.
I wish that people who are conventionally supposed to love each other would say to each other, when they fight, 'Please-a little less love, and a little more common decency.'"
my heart you lifted, my eyes you dried, im sorry but i must say good-bye. i cried because my heart was broken, and its still stolen, im sorry because now i did the same to you, i hope you found someone whos true to you.
Love is an ocean of emotions entirely surrounded by expenses
Love is much like a wild rose, beautiful and calm, but willing to draw blood in its defense.
When the heart speaks, however simple the words, its lanuage is always acceptable to those who have hearts.
I hate to laugh,I love to love.... But your love for me is so far above.

"I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love."
I believe love to be hurtful to society, and to the individual happiness of men. I believe, in short, that love does more harm than good.
A woman in love will do almost anything for a man, except give up the desire to improve him.
Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it oepns up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.
Love is the state in which man sees things Most widely different from what they are.
In the arithmetic of love, one plus one equals everything, and two minus one equals nothing.

We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command or faith a dictum. I am my own God. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.

I hadn't read Charlotte's Web in years. I was overdue. Overdue for so many things that didn't involve guns or killing people.
There is no such thing as beauty, especially in the human face. So many women that I'm told are beautiful...hell it's like looking at a soup bowl
In every man's heart there is a secret nerve that answers to the vibrations of beauty
Beauty in things lies in the mind which contemplates them.
Beauty, of whatever kind, invariably excites the human soul to tears.
I feel like a defective model, like I came off the assembly line flat-out fucked and my parents should have taken me back for repairs before the warranty ran out. But that was so long ago.
There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion.
The awful thing is that beauty is mysterious as well as terrible. God and the devil are fighting there and the battlefield is the heart of man.
Beauty is desired in order that it may be befouled; not for its own sake, but for the joy brought by the certainty of profaning it.
The best and most beautiful thing in life cannot be seen, not touched, but are felt in the heart.
There are flowers everywhere, for those who bother to look.
Perfect sincerity and transparency make a great part of beauty, as in dewdrops, lakes, and diamonds.
I recognize in thieves, traitors and murderers, in the ruthless and the cunning, a deep beauty-a sunken beauty.
Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.
The first question I ask myself when something doesn't seem to be beautiful is why do I think it's not beautiful. And very shortly you discover that there is no reason.
Remember that the most beautiful things in the world are the most useless; peacocks and lilies, for example.
Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror,
Plain women know more about men than beautiful ones do. But beautiful women don't need to know about men. It's the men who have to know about beautiful women.
Fashion is merely a form of ugliness so unbearable that we are compelled to alter it ever six months
In such ugly times, the only true protest is beauty.
Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything that is beautiful, for beauty is God's handwriting--a wayside sacrament. Welcome it in every fair face, in every fair sky, in every fair flower, and thank God for it as a cup of blessing.
Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us, or we find it not.
[...] beauty, which, in relation to actions, as we have seen, comes unsought, and comes because it is unsought [...]
We ascribe beauty to that which is simple; which has no superfluous parts; which exactly answers its end; which stands related to all things; which is the mean of many extreme/
Tell them, dear, that if eyes were made for seeing, Then beauty is its own excuse for being.
The fruition of beauty is no chance of hit or miss... it is inevitable as life.
Beauty is an ecstasy; it is as simple as hunger. There is really nothing to be said about it. It is like the perfume of a rose: you can smell it and that is all.
I don't take drugs as an escape trick, like some cheap magician on a cruise ship. I take drugs to find gold, like a greedy prospector in the backcountry. There are those who take drugs to be cool and those who take drugs to expand. I am not James Dean. I'm a balloon. And god has a mouth on my hole. And is blowing. And filling me up. And filling me up. One day I will explode. And then I will be free.
In the course of history many more people have died for their drink and their dope than have died for their religion or their country.
"I've got this friend who's been a junkie for 25 years. He said to me when Trainspotting came out, 'Why have you written this book? You've only been a junkie for five minutes.' " Welsh's eyes dim for a moment. "Well actually, it was 18 months." He seems keen to go on. "It was a stupidity and a weakness. I've not touched it for years, but it's in your vocabulary. If something bad happens in your life, it's always there in the background, waiting for you to trip up." Welsh kept a diary when he was on heroin; sometimes the odd note, sometimes whole therapeutic pages about addiction. Trainspotting in embryo.
I used to have a drug problem but now I make enough money.
Seven beers followed by two Scotches and a thimble of marijuana and it's funny how sleep comes all on it's own.
WE [MOI], AS A GROUP, DO NOT RECOMMEND... VERILY, WE REPUDIATE ANY ANIMAL/MINERAL /VEGETABLE/SYNTHETIC SUBSTANCE, VEHICLE and/or PROCEDURE WHICH MIGHT TEND TO REDUCE THE BODY, MIND OR SPIRIT OF ANY INDIVIDUAL (any true individual) TO A STATE OF SUB-AWARNESS OR INSENSITIVITY ... that is to say WE ARE HERE TO TURN YOU LOOSE NOT TURN YOU ON
My peers, lately, have found companionship through means of intoxication--it makes them sociable. I, however, cannot force myself to use drugs to cheat on my loneliness--it is all that i have--and when the drugs and alcohol dissipate, will be all that my peers have as well.
We cannot expect people to have respect for law and order until we teach respect to those we have entrusted to enforce those laws.
You can turn your back on a person, but never turn your back on a drug, especially when its waving a razor sharp hunting knife in your eye
This is the main advantage of ether: it makes you behave like the village drunkard in some early Irish novel... total loss of all basic motor skills: blurred vision, no balance, numb tounge- severance of all connection between the body and the brain. Which is interesting because you can actually watch yourself behaving in this terrible way, but you can't control it.
There is nothing more helpless and irresponsible than a man in the depths of an ether binge
I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone.... but they've always worked for me.
\
The junkie in Trocchi and Burroughs's fiction was by and large a culturally middle-class figure - a member of the intelligentsia, a rebel who saw society as not having done anything for them, so they're into this drug that's their own, a symbol of their rebellion. There's always been that sort of bohemian type drug sub-culture. But in Edinburgh, in the eighties you're talking about people who wouldn't normally be involved in the heroin scene, people who didn't have that Trocchi-esque attitude of setting themselves up in opposition to society. It was just people who really didn't have a fucking clue as to what was going on... I'm not writing a text-book on drugs or drug legislation . . . I wouldn't be comfortable becoming a spokesperson for anything; drugs spokesperson, underclass spokesperson. I don't think you can write anything definitive if you do. It's only your truth as you see it
Welsh looks thoughtful and pauses for a full 15 seconds. "I can't really say I've had a great deal of personal problems with drugs," he says eventually. "The problems were caused by the procurement rather than the effects. In your teens and your twenties you're not really aware of your mortality, you're just steaming in... There's a tension when you write a book like this [Trainspotting], that people expect you to be either this big reformed ex-junkie voice-of-experience, which I don't think I am, or they think you are some kind of middle class voyeur looking in and writing an exploitation book about other people's misery, which equally I don't think I am. Probably you could point to people in my past and they'd say: 'Oh, he was never into anything like that to that extent.' Or get people saying: 'That bastard was much worse than any of the characters in the book.' "
Drugs are a bet with the mind
The basic thing nobody asks is why do people take drugs of any sort? Why do we have these accessories to normal living to live? I mean, is there something wrong with society that's making us so pressurized that we cannot live without guarding ourselves against it?
Let me be clear about this: I don't have a drug problem, I have a police problem.
Did you know America ranks the lowest in education but the highest in drug use? It's nice to be number one, but we can fix that. All we need to do is start the war on education. If it's anywhere near as successful as our war on drugs, in no time we'll all be hooked on phonics
I will lift up mine eyes unto the pills. Almost everyone takes them, from the humble aspirin to the multi-coloured, king-sized three deckers, which put you to sleep, wake you up, stimulate and soothe you all in one. It is an age of pills.
I think psychedelics play a major part in what we do, but having said that, I feel that if somebody's going to experiment with those things they really need to educate themselves about them. People just taking the chemicals and diving in without having any kind of preparation about what they're about to experience tend to have no frame of reference, so they're missing everything flying by and all these new perspectives. It's just a waste. They reach a little bit of spiritual enlightenment, but they end up going, 'Well, now I need that drug to get back there again.' The trick is to use the drugs once to get there, and maybe spend the next ten years trying to get back there without the drug.
Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind.
I don't do drugs. I am drugs.
Psychedelics are probably responsible for every aspect of human evolution apart from the decline in bodyhair.
Acid is not for every brain . . . Only the healthy, happy, wholesome, handsome, hopeful, humorous, high-velocity should seek these experiences. This elitism is totally self-determined. Unless you are self-confident, self-directed, self-selected, please abstain.
If it keeps you awake, it’s art; if it puts you to sleep, it’s a drug.
It is good to be without vices, but it is not good to be without temptations.
Annual drug deaths: tobacco: 395,000, alcohol: 125,000, 'legal' drugs: 38,000, illegal drug overdoses: 5,200, marijuana: 0. Considering government subsidies of tobacco, just what is our government protecting us from in the drug war?
Peggy- "Tell me you love me, Al" Al-"I love football, I love beer, let's not cheapen the meaning of the word."
What could be more repellent than to suffer the limitation of others as a desperat alternative to gazing singly at our own?
There isn't any formula or method. You learn to love by loving.
I'm not as dumb as you think I am, I've learned a thing or two. I don't care about nothing at all, but I think the world of you.
Christianity has done a great deal for love by making a sin of it
True love is like a butterfly. Once it is gone it has flown away it is nearly impossible to recapture it.
To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.
Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction.
Love is patient, love is kind, and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own (will), is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
If you love something, let it go. If it comes back, great. If not, it's probably having dinner with someone more attractive than you
Who needs love when you've got a gun?
"I met a young man who was wounded in love, I met another man who was wounded in hatred."
Love, in all its fragile forms, is the one powerful, enduring force that brings real meaning to our everyday lives...but the love i mean is the fire that burns inside us all, the inner warmth tha prevents our soul from freezing in the winters of despair.
missing me like missing you.
in a bathroom
in combination with your talking,
your eyes and smile
striving driving your flying to LA
i pppounce on memories
i evidently obsess
you will make me a purchase
comeback, schemer, non-dreamer in a dream
baby letting him eat you up
eat you owat
and not me not me here
taking this
downing that
You've got to get up every morning with a smile on your face and show the world all the love in your heart. Then people are going to treat you better. You're going to find, yes you will, that you're beautiful as you feel.
Friendship often ends in love; but love in friendship - never.
For what is the beloved? She is that which I myself am not. In the act of love, I am pure male, and she is pure female. She is she, and I am I, and clasped together with her, I know how perfectly she is not me, how perfectly I am not her, how utterly we are two, the light and the darkness, and how infinetly and eternally, not-to-be-comprehended by either of us is the surpassing One we make.
Those that go searching for love, only manifest their own lovelessness. And the loveless never find love, only the loving find love. And they never have to seek for it.
Looking back, I have this to regret, that too often when I loved, I did not say so.
Enthusiasm is the best protection in any situation. Wholeheartedness is contagious. Give yourself, if you wish to get others.
People who are sensible about love are incapable of it.
Somewhere there waiteth in this world of ours For one lone soul another lonely soul, Each choosing each through all the weary hours, And meeting strangely at one sudden goal, Then blend they, like green leaves with golden flowers. Into one beautiful perfect whole; And life's long night is ended, and the way Lies open onward to eternal day.
To love means to commit oneself without guarantee, to give oneself completely in the hope that our love will produce love in the loved person.
"if two people love each other, there can be no happy end to it"
All life is the progression towards, and the recession from, one phrase - I love you.
"Open Eyes, open heart, open up and fall apart"
In Ireland you're allowed to say you love God and babies and horses that win but anything else is a softness in the head.
A soul that knows it is loved but does not itself love betrays its sediment: what is at the bottom comes up.
Born to lose, I"ve lived all my life in vain. All my dreams have only caused me pain. All my life i've always been so blue. Born to lose and now i'm losing you
Life without love is meaningless and goodness without love is impossible.
Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.
Often it is the most deserving people who cannot help loving those who destroy them.
The joy of life and its affairs of happiness digress into a pain of lost height. So, in all happiness there is sadness. That of a depressed state of losing, a time which no enjoyment can fervor the full amount because of the hidden realization of drowning in the opposites.
EMOTION IS DEAD!! LOVE IS GAY!! And EMO bands are just singing about Eating More Oreos!!
My night has become a sunny dawn because of you.
Whenever someone asks me to define love, I usually think for a minute, then I spin around and pin the guy's arm behind his back. NOW who's asking the questions?
I had never spoken to her, except for a few casual words. and yet her name was like a summons to all my foolish blood.
I say I'm in love with her. What does that mean? It means I review my future and my past in the light of this feeling. It is as though I wrote in a foreign language that I am suddenly able to read. Wordlessly, she explains me to myself. Like a genuis, she is ignorant of what she does.
I'm a dork and she's so cool, I'm ugly she's beautiful, she's so smart I'm just a fool, and I just can't figure it out, I just can't undrstand, why does she love me?
Love is the delightful interval between meeting a beautiful girl and discovering that she looks like a haddock.
Some say, 'Love means never having to say your sorry'. To me, love means never having to hear, 'Where's my friggin' rent, you lazy bastard ?!' in the first place.
Love is 2 minutes and 52 seconds of squelching noises
"Unconditonal" ( without conditions ), just as i am (without provisions),till death do us part (murder not acceptable),for better or for worse(and it always gets worse), now say you love me !!
People think love is an emotion. Love is good sense.
And ever has it been known that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.
I wish that people who are conventionally supposed to love each other would say to each other, when they fight, 'Please-a little less love, and a little more common decency.'"
my heart you lifted, my eyes you dried, im sorry but i must say good-bye. i cried because my heart was broken, and its still stolen, im sorry because now i did the same to you, i hope you found someone whos true to you.
Love is an ocean of emotions entirely surrounded by expenses
Love is much like a wild rose, beautiful and calm, but willing to draw blood in its defense.
When the heart speaks, however simple the words, its lanuage is always acceptable to those who have hearts.
I hate to laugh,I love to love.... But your love for me is so far above.
We can do no great things; only small things with great love.
"I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love."
I believe love to be hurtful to society, and to the individual happiness of men. I believe, in short, that love does more harm than good.
A woman in love will do almost anything for a man, except give up the desire to improve him.
Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it oepns up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.
Love is the state in which man sees things Most widely different from what they are.
In the arithmetic of love, one plus one equals everything, and two minus one equals nothing.
Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden where the flowers are dead.

To be loved, be lovable.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride; so I love you because I know no other way that this: where I does not exist, nor you, so close that your hand on my chest is my hand, so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can't readily accept the God formula, the big answers don't remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command or faith a dictum. I am my own God. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.
