Help me give up my addiction to Hope. - Chuck Palahniuk My addiction to you is definitely a catastrophic weakness - Julie Hockley Now you know how I justify my addictionsif I can pay less for it than I would at Wal-Mart, I get to have it. - Karen Marie Moning I live in an unethical society that coarsens the sensibilities and thwarts the capacities for goodness of most people but makes available for minority consumption an astonishing array of intellectual and aesthetic pleasures. Those who don't enjoy (in both senses) my pleasures have every right, from their side, to regard my consciousness as spoiled, corrupt, decadent. I, from my side, can't deny the immense richness of these pleasures, or my addiction to them. - Susan Sontag I wanted to do an episode about Chuck having a gambling problem. I wanted to portray my addiction on the show. But I think it's a little edgy for Saturday night. - Fisher Stevens
