All From James Frey's A MILLION LITTLE PIECES
"I'm tired of making people sad and I'm tired of disappointing them and I'm tired of seeing them break. I have seen this too many times. He will be the last."
"I know who I am and I know what I've done and I know why I am about to die. I have faced the reality and the reality is simple. I am an alcoholic and I am a drug addict and I am a criminal."
"I'm not going to say good-bye. I have lived alone, I have fought alone, I have dealt with pain alone. I will die alone."
"I wasnt as much time in the darkness as I can possibly have. The darkness provides cover, the darkness provide places to hide and the darkness provides comfort."
"Belonging is not something I have ever concerned myself with and is not something I give two shits about. I have lived alone. I am about to die alone."
"Life is hard, Kid, you gotta be harder. You gotta take it on and fight for it and be a fucking man about how you live it. If you're too much of a pussy to do that, then maybe you should leave, 'cause your dead already."
"What I know is an anger,a hardness, a resolve and truth. What I know is that I respect his eyes and I believe his eyes. What I know is that what's in his eyes is different from any other eyes that have looked at me, judged me, pitied me and written me off over the last years. What I know is that I can trust his eyes because what lives in them, lives in me"
"I've seen men cry before,but I usually think it's because they're weak or pathetic.The man who cried yesterday cried because he was strong and I admired his strength.I know people might think I'm strong or tough, but I'm really not. I'm a sheep in wolf's clothing."
"People don't want to accept the responsibility for their own weakness, so they place the blame on something that they're not responsible for, like disease or genetics."
"It would be easy to do so. To place myself on a pedestal away from what and who I am and to write it all off because of my Grandfather's genes and a Doctor's incompetance."
"She is seeking freedom. That is all she wants,all she desires,all she hopes to achieve.Freedom.Not just from chemicals but from the cycle of loving and losing, risking and failing, returning to that which she abhors each time returning."
"We have to hold on to what we have left. Fight for it.Cherish it.Try to survive it.Try to love it.I would have followed her.I'm going to hold onto her.I will fight for her.Cherish her.Try to survive myself.Try to survive myself so that I can love her."
"Love.The word is not enough for what it is.Love.Love."
"My wounds aren't healed and I need to heal them.If I am to survive to live to love completely I need more time just a little more time."
"The depths are where reality lives"
"Her sins,if there are any,are not to be judged by me."
"I care that he has spoken to her as if she were a piece of meat,as if she werwe less than human,as if she were something to be degraded and debased by him and others.The fury is at full strength.I was to kill kill kill."
"The violence was unfortunate but the unfortunate was necessary.Sometimes skulls are thick.Sometimes hearts are vacant.Sometimes words don't work.The violence was necessary."
