The Rules of Attraction, 1987 Bret Easton Ellis
“No one ever likes the right person.”
“When the going gets tough, the tough go drinking.”
“I only had sex with her because I’m in love with you.”
“I want to moan and writhe with you and I want to go up to you and kiss
your mouth and pull you to me and say “I love you I love you I love you”
while stripping. I want you so bad it stings.”
“The seeds of love have taken hold and if we won’t burn together, I’ll burn alone.”
“If you can’t make a girl come why even bother? That always seemed to me to be like writing questions in a letter.”
“Rock ‘n’ roll. Deal with it.”
“I wasn’t acting on passion. I was simply acting.”
“Did you know I was born in a Holiday Inn.”
“I’m pissed off that I let her get into that position of denying me.”
“A great numb feeling washes over me as I let go of the past and look forward to the future. Pretend to be a vampire.
I don’t really need to pretend, because it’s who I am, an emotional vampire.”
“I think we’ve all lost some sort of feeling”
“it’s a story that might bore you but you don’t have to listen…”
“What does that mean know me, know me, nobody ever knows anybody else, ever! You will never know me. ”
