1 " Being me is a job — is labour so time-consuming and expensive that I have to have a second job just to support it. So that I can drink, I have to get drink and that isn’t something people give away and then there’s drink that I need because I have drunk and the other drink I have to keep around because, sooner or later, I will drink it. That’s a full-time occupation: that’s like being a miner, or a nurse. "
― A.L. Kennedy , Paradise
2 " We all need distractions, they make us laugh. And your options in life distil down to no more than this: laugh or cry, cry or laugh. Quickly, or slowly, it doesn't matter which-- you will discover the dreadful and unfunny joke that you are, that we all are. "
