Becca Fitzpatrick Quotes

Only the opium eater truly understands the pain of death.

I knew I was happy when I was dancing.

With what dope I got I think it fills me in pretty well.

Opium soothes; alcohol maddens.

The end of pain we take as happiness.

The plan was to drink until the pain is over, But what's worse, the pain or the hangover?

Is it bad when you refer to all alcohol as "Pain Go Bye-Bye Juice"?

The thing about opium is that it makes pain or difficulty unimaginable.

What we call pleasure, and rightly so is the absence of all pain.

You want to touch the heavens, you want to feel glory and euphoria, but the trick is it takes work. You can't buy it, you can't get it on a street corner, you can't steal it or inject it or shove it up your ass, you have to earn it.

What is addiction, really? It is a sign, a signal, a symptom of distress. It is a language that tells us about a plight that must be understood.

Heroin also makes people feel better, but I wouldn't recommend using heroin.

I never did heroin, because I thought that meant I was doing heavy drugs, which shows you the insanity of doing drugs. I probably should have done heroin, because I understand heroin actually makes you feel good. Cocaine just makes you stupid.

Tobacco and opium have broad backs, and will cheerfully carry the load of armies, if you choose to make them pay high for such joy as they give and such harm as they do.

I was into pain reduction and mind expansion, but what I've ended up with is pain expansion and mind reduction.

I don't drink these days. I am allergic to alcohol and narcotics. I break out in handcuffs.

Alcohol, acid, cocaine... they were just affairs. When I met heroin it was true love.

Energy falls just short of being joy.
