“I have learned to smoke because I need something to hold onto.”
“And I needed a rock. Something to hold onto, to stand on. Something solid. Because everything was going soft, turning into mush, into marsh, into fog. Fog closing in on all sides. I didn't know where I was at all.”
“I wonder if I will ever have the strength to hold onto something. Or if I will always be someone who destroys.”
“To succeed, you need to find something to hold onto, something to motivate you, something to inspire you.”
“You sure are willing to go through a lot for cigarette smoking and hand holding, " I said. "You need to try and remember that.”
“I wondered what it was to pray, because it was something I have never learned to do, and all I remember is falling.”
