Euphoria Quote by Jerry Stahl

“You may think you don't want to throw your life away for mere fleeting euphoria. But, once you get a taste, it doesn't feel so mere. From then on the planet becomes a waiting room. The rest of your life devolves to no more than the time between highs.” quote by Jerry Stahl — Download Open image
