“There is a terrible sameness to the euphoria of alcohol and the euphoria of metaphor.”
“And as for girls who try to stay away from me—my charm always wears them down.”“I’m up-to-date on my shots, so I’m pretty much immune to everything.”
“My religion is euphoria.”
“Diplomatic #@@@@@##%%%%#%%%%@@@@@@$$$$$####!!! Immunity?”
“But the thought of laying a hand on someone brings back a world of memories, feelings, a flush of power I experience only when I make contact with skin not immune to my own. It's a rush of invincibility; a tormented kind of euphoria; a wave of intensity flooding every pore in my body. I don't know what it will do ti me. I don't know if I can trust myself to take pleasure in someone else's pain.”
