What I know is that I can trust his eyes because what lives in them, l — James Frey

"More than anything, all I have ever wanted is to be close to someone. More than anything, all I have ever wanted is to feel as if I wasnt alone."

"I dont believe shes in Heaven and I dont believe shes in a better place. Shes dead and when were dead, were gone. There are no blinding lights, there is no happy music, there are no angels waiting to greet us. St. Peter is not at the Pearly Gates with a big fat fucking book, our friends and Relatives are not holding a seat for us at a divine dinner table, we do not get a tour of Heaven. Were dead and that is it. No more."

"I dont want to be alone. I have never wanted to be alone. I fucking hate it. I hate that I have no one to talk to, I hate that I have no one to call, I hate that I have no one to hold my hand, hug me, tell me everything is going to be all right....I hate that I have no one to share my hopes and my dreams with, I hate that I have no longer have any hopes or dreams, I hate that I have no one to tell me to hold on, that I can find them again. I hate that when I scream, and I scream bloody murder, that I am screaming into emptiness. I hate that there is no one to hear my scream and that there is no one to help me learn how to stop screaming."

"Where the fuck did they make you, Kid? Whats that mean? Where does someone like you come from? Ive lived a lot of places. Like where? Why do you care? Just wondering. Stop wondering. Why? I dont want to make friends here. Why? I dont like good-byes. You gotta say them though. No, you dont."

"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 youre too much of a pussy to do that, then maybe you should leave, cause youre dead already."

"I look at Hank and he nods and I nod and for a brief second I feel strong. Not strong enough to face myself, but strong enough to keep going."
