Bret Easton Ellis Quote: “This was sending me out so much further than I had ever expected: a place beyond strength.”
Bret Easton Ellis Quote: “This forced you to look again at the people who raised them, coddling them with praise and trying to shield them from the grim sides of life, which might well have created children who, as adults, appeared highly confident, competent and positive but at the hint of darkness or negativity often became paralyzed and unable to react except with disbelief and tears – You just victimized me! – and retreated, in effect, into their childhood bubbles.”
Bret Easton Ellis Quote: “There’s a moment of sheer terror when I discover Paul’s apartment overlooks the park.”
Bret Easton Ellis Quote: “I want to take you away from this,” I say, motioning around the kitchen, spastic. “From sushi and elves and... STUFF.”
Bret Easton Ellis Quote: “The Patty Winters Show this morning was about Nazis and, inexplicably, I got a real charge out of watching it. Though I wasn’t exactly charmed by their deeds, I didn’t find them unsympathetic either, nor I might add did most of the members of the audience. One of the Nazis, in a rare display of humor, even juggled grapefruits and, delighted, I sat up in bed and clapped.”
Bret Easton Ellis Quote: “Well, I’m sorry.” I smile. “I’m having problems.”
Bret Easton Ellis Quote: “I stare into a thin, web-like crack above the urinal’s handle and think to myself that if I were to disappear into that crack, say somehow miniaturize and slip into it, the odds are good that no one would notice I was gone. No... one... would... care. In fact some, if they noticed my absence, might feel an odd, indefinable sense of relief. This is true: the world is better off with some people gone. Our lives are not all interconnected. That theory is crock. Some people truly do not need to be here.”
Bret Easton Ellis Quote: “Something is turning into nothing very quickly.”
Bret Easton Ellis Quote: “Tim glances over at me and I avert my gaze and an imagined sense of imposed peace washes calmly over the two of us, answering my question.”
Bret Easton Ellis Quote: “I would demand to wear Ray-Ban sunglasses. Expensive Ray-Bans,” I say carefully. “In fact I would demand that everyone would have to wear Ray-Ban sunglasses.”
Bret Easton Ellis Quote: “Who Dunnit?′ profoundly expresses the theme of confusion against a funky groove, and what makes this song so exciting is that it ends with its narrator never finding anything out at all.”
Bret Easton Ellis Quote: “Did you know I was born in a Holiday Inn.”
Bret Easton Ellis Quote: “I guess the consolation is that she’s not going to be beautiful forever,” he says. “But I’d like to be with her before that happens.”
Bret Easton Ellis Quote: “Women aren’t very bright,” Rip says. “Studies have been done.”
Bret Easton Ellis Quote: “Honey?” she asks. “Don’t call me that,” I snap. “What? Honey?” she asks. “Yes,” I snap again. “What do you want me to call you?” she asks, indignantly. “CEO?” She stifles a giggle. “Oh Christ.” “No, really Patrick. What do you want me to call you?” King, I’m thinking.”
Bret Easton Ellis Quote: “Haven’t we outgrown all this tired irony? Weren’t we supposed to give up acting twenty-two forever?”
Bret Easton Ellis Quote: “It’s a world where getting stoned is the only option.”
Bret Easton Ellis Quote: “My pain is constant and sharp and I do not hope for a better world for anyone. In fact I want my pain to be inflicted on others. I want no one to escape. But even after admitting this – and I have, countless times, in just about every act I’ve committed – and coming face-to-face with these truths, there is no catharsis. I gain no deeper knowledge about myself, no new understanding.”
Bret Easton Ellis Quote: “From those of us who are left behind: you will be remembered, you were the one I needed, I loved you in my dreams.”
Bret Easton Ellis Quote: “Hardbody.” McDermott nods in agreement. “Definitely.” “I’m not impressed,” Price sniffs. “Look at her knees.” While the hardbody stands there we check her out, and though her knees do support long, tan legs, I can’t help noticing that one knee is, admittedly, bigger than the other one. The left knee is knobbier, almost imperceptibly thicker than the right knee and this unnoticeable flaw now seems overwhelming and we all lose interest.”
Bret Easton Ellis Quote: “If I often wished the world were a different place, I also knew – and horror movies helped reinforce this – that it never would be, a realization that in turn led me to a mode of acceptance.”
Bret Easton Ellis Quote: “I was now looking at a new kind of liberalism, one that willingly censored people and punished voices, obstructed opinions and blocked viewpoints.”
Bret Easton Ellis Quote: “It was clear that this had not been my best term; it was clear that I was losing it.”
Bret Easton Ellis Quote: “How can I tell McDermott that this is a very disjointed time of my life and that I notice the walls have been painted a bright, almost painful white and under the glare of the fluorescent lights they seem to pulse and glow.”
Bret Easton Ellis Quote: “She’s simply another girl who has gotten by on her looks – her currency in this world – and it will not be fun to watch her grow old.”
Bret Easton Ellis Quote: “And by the way, did anyone ever tell you that you look exactly like Garfield but run over and skinned and then someone threw an ugly Ferragamo sweater over you before they rushed you to the vet? Fusilli? Olive oil on Brie?”
Bret Easton Ellis Quote: “I’d never been a true believer that politics can solve the dark heart of humanity’s problems and the lawlessness of our sexuality, or that a bureaucratic band aid is going to heal the deep contradictory rifts and the cruelty, the passion and the fraudulence that factor into what it means to be human.”
Bret Easton Ellis Quote: “I have to return some video tapes.” – Patrick Bateman’s all-purpose exit excuse in “American Psycho.”
Bret Easton Ellis Quote: “There are no girls with good personalities,” we all say in unison, laughing, giving each other high-five.”
Bret Easton Ellis Quote: “BMW.” He smiles. “Little black beamer.”
Bret Easton Ellis Quote: “Feelings aren’t facts and opinions aren’t crimes.”
Bret Easton Ellis Quote: “I also think that Phil Collins works better within the confines of the group than as a solo artist – and I stress the word artist. In fact it applies to all three of the guys, because Genesis is still the best, most exciting band to come out of England in the 1980s.”
Bret Easton Ellis Quote: “Hey,” Price says. “I’m depressed, I mean impressed.”
Bret Easton Ellis Quote: “Reflection is useless, the world is senseless. Evil is it’s only permanence. God is not alive. Love cannot be trusted. Surface, surface, surface was all that anyone found meaning in.”
Bret Easton Ellis Quote: “And though the coldness I have always felt leaves me, the numbness doesn’t and probably never will. This relationship will probably lead to nothing... this didn’t change anything.”
Bret Easton Ellis Quote: “Actors depend on their likability, and their attractiveness, because they want people to watch them, to be drawn to them, to desire them. Because of this, actors are, by their very nature, liars.”
Bret Easton Ellis Quote: “This widespread epidemic of self-victimization – defining yourself in essence by way of a bad thing, a trauma that happened in the past that you’ve let define you – is actually an illness.”
Bret Easton Ellis Quote: “No negativity allowed: we’re only asking to be admired in the display culture we were raised in.”
Bret Easton Ellis Quote: “Yeah, we all have to leave,” he says. “You said that already.”
Bret Easton Ellis Quote: “I concentrate on the Absolut and cranberry I’m holding and it looks like a glassful of thin, watery blood with ice and a lemon wedge in it.”
Bret Easton Ellis Quote: “The Left had become a rage machine, burning itself up: a melting blue bubble dissolving in on itself.”
Bret Easton Ellis Quote: “Across the board, identity politics endorse the concept that people are essentially tribal, and our differences are irreconcilable, which of course makes diversity and inclusion impossible. This is the toxic dead-end of identity politics; it’s a trap.”
Bret Easton Ellis Quote: “Donald Trump is a big U2 fan and then, even more desperately, that John Gutfreund also buys their records.”
Bret Easton Ellis Quote: “Talking animals were the topic of this morning’s Patty Winters Show. An octopus was floating in a makeshift aquarium with a microphone attached to one of its tentacles and it kept asking – or so its “trainer,” who is positive that mollusks have vocal cords, assured us – for “cheese.” I watched, vaguely transfixed, until I started to sob.”
Bret Easton Ellis Quote: “And I just stood there in the fading afternoon light, realizing at seventeen that I was already staring into my past – that the past had a meaning that would always define you. I remember this being one of my first moments nearing adulthood, when I realized how powerful memory was – or at least it was the first time it hurt the most. And there was nothing I could do about the pain of the past – it just settled over me.”
Bret Easton Ellis Quote: “I mean I tell her I’m sensitive. I told her I was freaked out by the Challenger accident – what more does she want?”
Bret Easton Ellis Quote: “I feel naked, suddenly tiny. My mouth tastes metallic, then it gets worse. My vision: a winter road. But I’m left with one comforting thought: I am rich – millions are not.”
Bret Easton Ellis Quote: “Love cannot be trusted.”
Bret Easton Ellis Quote: “But if you look at everything only through the lens of your party or affiliation, and are capable of being in the same room only with people who think and vote like you, doesn’t that make you somewhat uncurious and oversimplifying, passive-aggressive, locked into assuming you are riding the high moral tide, without ever wondering if you might not, in the eyes of others, be on the very bottom?”
Bret Easton Ellis Quote: “Some clowns make you laugh, but Bobo will make you die, and then he’ll eat your body.”
