The winter passed as slowly and peacefully as a boa constrictor digesting a valium addict.
Tom Robbins
Slowly, slowly winter day opens his arctic eye.
Halldor Laxness
I'm sick. It's passed down through my family. I am an addict. I'm sick.
Travis Meeks
Whereas "false stories" can be told anywhere and at any time, myths must not be recited except during a period of sacred time (usually in autumn or winter, and only at night).... This custom has survived even among peoples who have passed beyond the archaic stage of culture. Among the Turco-Mongols and the Tibetans the epic songs of the Gesar cycle can be recited only at night and in winter.
Mircea Eliade
No candidate will risk being linked with a "suspected" addict but a registered, admitted addict is a whole different thing. As long as I'd confessed, I was okay. Nobody really cared about the countless criminal addictions that preyed on me day and night just as long as I was not in denial. That was the key. As long as they knew that I knew I was sick and guilty, I was safe.
Hunter S. Thompson
Often I wonder what does really God get from me in this state no faith, no love not even in feelings. The other day I can't tell you how bad I felt. There was a moment when I nearly refused to accept. Deliberately I took the Rosary and very slowly and without even meditating or thinking I said it slowly and calmly. The moment passed- but the darkness is so dark, and the pain is so painful. But I accept whatever He gives and I give whatever He takes. People say they are drawn closer to God- seeing my strong faith. is this not deceiving people? Every time I have wanted to tell the truth that I have no faith the words just do not come my mouth remains closed. And yet I still keep on smiling at God and all.
