“Which came first: the addict or the drug? You can’t have an addiction unless there’s something to crave; by the same token, a drug is nothing but a plant or a drink or a powder until someone wants it badly. The truth is, the addict and the drug came together. And therein lies the problem.”

“I close my eyes and think of all the people I have been in my lifetime: a boy who fell in love with a broken girl a thousand years ago; a father holding a newborn thinking that nothing could ever make him let her go; a man starving for one more moment with his little girl; a fugitive on the run; a liar; a cheat; a felon.”

“You think you know the world you are living in.. If you can feel it, and touch it, and smell it, and taste it, then it must be so. You tell yourself that you would bet your life on the simple fact that the sky is blue. And then one day someone comes along and informs you emphatically that you’re wrong. Blue, you insist. Blue as the ocean. Blue as a whale. Blue as my daughters eyes. But that person shakes his head, and everyone else backs him up. You poor girl, they say. All of those things-the ocean, the whale, her eyes-they’re green. You’ve gotten them mixed up. You’ve had it wrong all along.“
