1 " Desiree. It's like falling in love every night and having your heart broken every morning... Having more memory is just a way of distorting a greater amount of the past. "
― Craig Clevenger , Dermaphoria
2 " I bought a piece of God, ground to dust and mixed with alcohol in a glass bottle the colour of molasses. "
3 " Carisoprodol. Comes in a white tablet like a big-ass vitamin, 350 mg of muscle liquefier for those tense, recovering athletes and furniture movers. Too much, and those relaxed muscles include your diaphragm, then your heart. "
― Craig Clevenger , The Contortionist's Handbook
4 " I woke up with a heart attack just out of my field of vision and with my dick in my hand, saying, I love you I love you I love you over and over...And that my dear sweet love of my life, is how things were without you and I'd done everything I could to keep you from knowing that "
5 " Everything in the universe is everything else. A man is a killer is a saint is a monkey is a cockroach is a goldfish is a whale, and the Devil is just the angel who asked for More. "
6 " A person’s life story is equal to what they have plus what they want most in the world, minus what they’re actually willing to sacrifice for it. "
7 " It's taken me years of practice to learn how to act natural. "
8 " The time flies. The time flies feed on rotting clocks. "
9 " امرأة تحمل مشعلا في ذكرى حبها المفقود وزوجها لا يعرف . رجل يفقد طفلا أو زوجة أو أخا . ربما هي غلطته وربما لا . الناس تحمل ماخسرته طيلة حياتها .. فقدان وظيفة .. صداقة .. زواج .. سمعة . حياة شخص محبوب . هناك من يشعرون بالحسرة طيلة ساعات يقظتهم وهناك من يشعرون بها أثناء النوم . "
10 " كل عمل يتميز بنواياه وكل نية تتميز بعملها . الفارق بين القبول والاغتصاب قد يكون كأسا واحدة أو كلمة واحدة. "
11 " تضربين معصمي أماما وخلفا .. بالطريقة التي تمارسينها عندما تعجزين عن النوم ، وبرغم هذا لا تريدين لي أن أنام أنا الآخر . "
12 " I do know that I fell in love with the moment of falling in love and I wanted to keep that moment alive forever, at the expense of all those moments to follow. "
13 " Just as it did when I spoke to you that day from the phone, your face comes into focus more and more as I hold you here beside me. "
14 " People can numb themselves, get used to anything. "
15 " If I'm still conscious to face the consequences of my actions, then at the very least I will know that my actions were real, thay they indeed had consequences, though my lone life will amount to less than a single click of static in the symphony of the big bang. If my actions were real, then so were my memories, and if those were real, the things I've done have allowed me to see God and I0m not afraid of following my life down that eight-second black rabbit hole. "
16 " Everyone is the Umbrella Man and he is everyone. Every cough, sneeze, smile and wave means both everything and nothing. The signals are everywhere. "
17 " You said I was in love. You were right. But that never happened, either. "
18 " When you’re in love, your brain secretes endorphins into your blood. Organic morphine leaks out of a gland in your skull, feels like a low-grade opium rush. Some people confuse the two, the head rush and the love. You think you’re in love with a person, but you’re in love with a syringe. "
19 " الأمر يشبه أن تقع في الحب كل ليلة ويتحطم قلبك كل صباح . للأبد مثل برومثيوس .. فقط ننسى كم أن ذاكرتنا غير دقيقة . الاحتفاظ بذاكرة طيبة معناه تدمير قدر عظيم من الماضي . "
20 " الشيطان ليس سوى ملاك اراد المزيد "
