Getting High Quotes - Page 6

• Well I ain't seen my baby since I don't know when,
  I've been drinking bourbon whiskey, scotch and gin
  Gonna get high man I'm gonna get loose,
  Need me a triple shot of that juice
  Gonna get drunk don't you have no fear
  I want one bourbon, one scotch and one beer
  One bourbon, one scotch, one beer.

• I have trouble getting approvals from my heath insurance company for basic antidepressants. And I have the best plan my agency has. I can't get high off this stuff! I'm not going to sell it! Getting my medication is critical. It's me saying, "I just want to live." And their response seems to be, "We agree that it's a matter of life and death; that's why we're declining it." Every time I get a cold, I have Tylenol with codeine coming out the wazoo. But the medication I need to live? Nah.

• Today, maturity is a word I associate with spirituality. It's one of those words that cause people to change their voice. When your voice gets higher because of what you're saying, there's a problem. To me, the conflict of life is part of the joy of life. There's got to be a recognition of the friction that exists. Maturity seems somehow about getting careful. I don't want to be careful.
