"If you wish to alter or annihilate a pyramid of numbers in a serial relation, you alter or remove the bottom number. If we wish to annihilate the junk pyramid, we must start with the bottom of the pyramid: the Addict in the Street, and stop tilting quixotically for the "higher ups" so called, all of whom are immediately replaceable. The addict in the street who must have junk to live is the one irreplaceable factor in the junk equation. When there are no more addicts to buy junk there will be no junk traffic. As long as junk need exists, someone will service it."

"We sniffed all night and made it four times. . . Fingers down the blackboard, scrape the white bones. . . Home is the heroin, home from the sea."

"in a vale of cocaine and innocence, ski hut across the mountain, sad-eyed youths yodel for a lost danny boy"
