Quote by Edward St. Aubyn

“What if memories were just memories, without any consolatory or persecutory power? Would they exist at all, or was it always emotional pressure that summoned images from what was potentially all of experience so far?”

“إن العواطف و ما إليها من الكلمات و الاصطلاحات المنمقة ليست إلا لهوا و لعبا و تجارة يمارسها بعض الناس للضحك بها على عقول السذج و قاصري الإدراك ، تماما كما تفعل «المعددة» في المآتم ؛ فإنها تأتي بعبارات الأسى و الحزن العميق الذي يفتت الأكباد و يحرك الجماد ومع ذلك فإنك تبحث في قرارة فؤادها فلا تجد مثقال ذرة من الحزن و الألم”

“The enabler will love the addict into darkness. The addict becomes a shadow of the person they once were. The enabler love is blind and selfish. Blind, because they cannot see the selfishness, when they cradle their own emotions over the addict’s recovery. It will always be tough love, support and lots of praying to keep an addict clean. The underlined reason for the substance abuse can only be found when the addict is thinking clearly.”
