“Even years from now, once I've stopped drinking, I will never stop trusting extremes. I will always believe that anything worth having is worth having in excess. The good things are worth hoarding until you have a cookie-fat ass, sex-aching loins, joy that fires through you like popping popcorn, or love, the weakness at the sight of some boy who makes your chest ache like indigestion. If it's good for you, it ought to be good for you in any amount, and you should track down every available bit of it. And if it's toxic, if it turns your liver into a hard little rock of scar tissue, or curls your memory at the edges like something burned in a fire, or makes your stomach flop, or your mind ache, or your personality contorted, you shouldn't buy into the bullshit about temperance.” Too MuchExtremesExcessBlack And WhiteWorthModerationPassionate LifeExtremeToo Much Of A Good ThingExcessivenessHoardToo LittleLack Of Moderation Book:Smashed: Story of a Drunken Girlhood Source: Smashed: Story of a Drunken Girlhood
