They gave me a glorious feeling of general well-being and didn’t make me fat, like alcohol. I wondered if there was any harm in being addicted to only these.”
― Augusten Burroughs, Magical Thinking: True Stories
“Drip of a drop,
Don’t name it a tear,
It’s hard to cry with tears,
harder without,
To smother a sob without a sound,
to bite your forefinger in helplessness,
and cry out
Hey! Where’s the pill
I can take to cure this?
What’s the doctor’s name?
What operation can save me?”
― Piri Thomas
