Adrenaline Quotes

“Fear triggers the fight-or-flight response, fueled by adrenaline, which, as it turns out, is chemically related to amphetamines. Granted, it's a very different kind of high for mindfuckers: not a mellow, floaty "my vulva is one with the universe" high but a jittery, revved-up "oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck" kind of high. Endorphins are like great downers but adrenaline is uppers all the way. And it's just as addictive. Don't believe me? Go ask anyone who likes to jump off bridges or out of airplanes. - Edge”
― Tristan Taormino, Ultimate Guide to Kink: BDSM, Role Play and the Erotic Edge

Zee snorted. "Adrenaline junkie," she accused.”
― Jennifer Lynn Barnes, Killer Spirit

“Non possiamo combattere la nostra natura, per quanto cerchiamo di affogarla essa riesce sempre a emergere. Le persone che difendono i più deboli non sentono il bisogno di essere ringraziate... non necessitano di gratitudine, non lo fanno per sentirsi speciali, lo fanno perché va fatto, senza se e senza ma...”
― Christian Malvicini, EMOZIONI: School Romance Adrenaline

“Ricorda Dante: quando scegliamo di fare o non fare una determinata cosa, è importante sapere dentro di noi se è stato il coraggio o la paura che ci ha spinto a farla o a non farla. E da ciò che si distingue un ragazzino da un uomo. Tu hai più paura o più coraggio?”

“La fantasia è importante nella vita, soprattutto nelle nostre vite, Eugenio. Cosa sarebbero tutti questi libri se non avessimo la fantasia per poter immaginare i personaggi che li compongono? Leggeremmo parole, non vivremmo emozioni. E nella vita le emozioni sono importanti, fondamentali. E no n vale solo con i libri. Se guardassimo il mondo con meno razionalità e meno cinismo, ci godremmo l'unica vera cosa che vale la pena di vivere: le emozioni.”
― Christian Malvicini, EMOZIONI: School Romance Adrenaline

“Tutti cercano, ma solo in pochi trovano.
In fondo, siamo sempre alla ricerca di qualcosa che non sappiamo cosa sia.
Poi per caso, un giorno, accade qualcosa di speciale.
Così troviamo una strada mai percorsa,
e la seguiamo convinti di trovarvi una fine.
C'è chi si perde e chi invece arriva fino in fondo.
Molti nemmeno si accorgono che il bello è proprio il viaggio e non la meta.
Solo così alcuni riescono a capire ciò che cercano.
Solo così alcuni riescono a trovare ciò che cercano.
La vita sorprende sempre.
Così ebbe inizio.”
― Christian Malvicini, EMOZIONI: School Romance Adrenaline

― Fm Ellis

“And now I shall tell you what Tilte and I have discovered one must do: one must reach inside and feel. The moment the shock kicks in there’s this very unusual, very special feeling inside and all around you, and that is what you must reach into and feel. It is there just before the tears come, and the despair, and the customary depression, and the giving up, and the decision that if Karl can get up at four in the morning, then you can get up at three or two, or even not go to bed at all so as to be sure of getting there first.

During that brief moment when your normal instincts are gone and new ones have yet to appear, at that moment there is an entry.

This I remember on Blågårds Plads, and I listen inside and sense that the shock has caused the door to open.”
― Peter Høeg, The Elephant Keepers' Children

“The incline and height of the rocks increased sharply, making his climb more difficult. He needed his other hand totally free, as he knew his pursuers would as well. He holstered his pistol. He'd gotten more than three- quarters of the way to the top when even two free hands were barely enough to continue upward. The steps be- gan sloping on top, so that there was less and less to stand on. His legs pushed, toes searching for holds, arms pulling, fingers clutching, each new ascent more difficult than the last as the steps began to disappear altogether, until he found himself clinging to a nearly vertical slab of granite. Still he pushed upward, his chest and stomach in constant contact with the rock beneath, his hold growing more tenuous each moment. He looked up. Rock walls soared above him on both sides. He prayed there was somewhere to keep going, because he couldn't see it now. Up and up he climbed, every so often finding a small outcropping to grasp, but having to stretch more for each one, his legs almost dangling free as his boots sought purchase in the rock niches. Several times small rocks he tested for support broke free and clattered down the mountain. They fell, hit, split apart, and hit again, until they made a distant thud at the bottom. He shut his eyes, thinking he might sound like that, only softer. If it got any steeper, he knew, he couldn't hold on any longer.”
